McWilliams Promises to be Magnificent Against “Rey” Martinez

McWilliams Promises to be Magnificent Against "Rey" Martinez | Boxen247.com

A green and gold holiday, it faces the Puerto Rican veteran McWilliams Arroyo, against the Mexican “Mini Marciano” Julio César “Rey” Martínez, on the same card as Canelo Vs Yildirim, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Florida.

Thirty-five-year-old McWilliams (20-4, 15 KO`s) is nine years older than the champion. This is his third attempt at a world title and time is running out to emulate his twin brother McJoe, who was a world champion. McWilliams couldn’t have picked a more daunting Macbeth challenge. Rey Martínez tends to be shorter than his opponents, but what he lacks in height, he invariably and intimidatingly makes up for with the power of his punches. In that department he does not fall short.

Good things sometimes come in smaller packages. A reporter once told Jack Dempsey that most of his opponents were taller than him. The “Manassa Mauler” replied emphasizing that they seemed much smaller, once they were lying on their backs.

Rey is a ruthlessly efficient KO artist, possessing the power and relentless relentlessness of a crushing wrecking ball. In Joe Frazier’s vogue, he has the power to demolish the walls of cities and citadels.

Rey’s only loss came in his career debut against Joaquín Cruz with a close split decision loss. Since then, he never looked back. He graduated in his seventh fight by defeating Edgar Sosa by UD. Thirteen of his seventeen fights have not gone the distance.

Rey, who is from the world-famous boxing cradle of Tepito, invariably does altitude training in the cold climates of the Otomi Ceremonial Center to gain air, which translates into heaps of mcduff plum.

He seems to have a predilection for hitting the British. He knocked out Andrew Selby of Wales, then dropped WBC flyweight champion Charlie Edwards with an avalanche of punches, but couldn’t contain his momentum, landing a punch while Charles was down on the mat. So, he was declared no decision and had to regroup for his WBC title shot again.

At a WBC press conference at the Railroad Workers Union Headquarters in the heart of Mexico City, a reporter asked Charlie, where was he doing his altitude training? Charlie was puzzled. That led to itching and then Charlie was knocked down.

After stopping former champion Cristofer Rosales in nine rounds for the title vacated by Charlie, Julio César faced Welshman Jay Harris, who bravely stood up to lose for UD, after enduring a fearsome onslaught.

Julius Caesar is as fearless as he is fearsome during the deal in question. He often states at press conferences with a carefree laugh: “With everything but fear.” It doesn’t bode well for his opponents, who are often outmanoeuvred!

Rey has said and repeated that he wants to become a unified champion, before advancing and ascending to the super flyweight division. But he certainly won’t overlook McWilliams, who defeated Carlos Cuadras for the WBC silver super flyweight title.

Although McWilliams lost by UD to Roman “Chocolatito” González for the WBC flyweight title, he gave a very good account of himself. He also lost to Kazuto Ioka for the WBC silver super flyweight belt and to Amnat Ruenroeng for the IBF flyweight title.

Carlos Buitrago knocked him down twice, but McWilliams got up each time and won for UD. In his professional career, McWilliams has yet to be arrested. He is a skilled and durable boxer. His ability to withstand blows will be put to the test like never before next Saturday against a younger and fresher champion, who is ruthless… isn’t he?

McWilliams insists he retains hunger and ambition to go the distance, and has worked for this fight like never before. He’s had a long time to do this, because he didn’t fight at all last year. By contrast, last year Rey defeated Harris. Then he did quick work with Moisés Calleros.

Rey’s boxing sometimes shows a rudimentary lack of finesse, but he more than makes up for it with incredible power. McWilliams has the ability and potential to overcome it, but for how long? Twelve rounds is a long time!
