Whatever the reason is, that will not excuse him to get away from that defeat he got in their first encounter and it might be just good for Ancajas if he will just admit that he didn't expect Martinez to be that good that's why he lost the fight and it's somehow clear that his stamina is not keeping up in the late rounds too. Maybe this time they can score a win and bring back the championship belt to the Philippines.
Yes, agree too that it's irrelevant to have such excuses why a boxer loses because of a bad condition.
Take the example of the Featherweight Title match between Gary Russell Jr. who is the champion at that time against Mark Magsayo of the Philippines. Russel is clearly not in good shape as he is suffering from a shoulder injury but decided to continue with the match. After he lose the title to Magsayo, never did he make excuses about him being in a bad shape why he lose but instead, will promise to get back strong to take a chance again on the title.
Anyway, did Ancajas really mention that he loses because of that cramps or whatever reason? If yes, then that's a big problem since he doesn't recognize the strength of Fernando Martinez as he is just pointing out his disadvantage on that night where he loses.
Ancajas should just admit his defeat and recognize that Martinez overwhelmed him as we could really see the difference if we look back at their fight, he didn't use his own height and reach advantage that's why Martinez was able to move freely towards Ancajas. I hope this time there will be a difference in his performance and that he'll do everything to redeem his loss and the belt because he will be embarrassed again if he will be defeated in their rematch as Martinez camp will surely do everything to improve their boxer.
