Won by a point IMHO. Sergio did what greats do he dug deep and pulled out the last 2 rounds. Don't call it a :cry: robbery :cry:

A score of 115-112 is far too huge of a margin in favor of Martinez!
To add, the knockdown that wasn't counted, which appeared to be a slip at first, wasn't overturned DESPITE the usage of instant replay by officials.
On another note, as a fan of Martinez, it appears that he is almost officially over-the-hill. His speed has decreased substantially. His power has also looked lackluster as well in his last couple of bouts.
I had Martinez winning by 1 point, but given the instant replay, I believe I would have probably scored the fight for Murray.
A rematch is in order to rectify any issues...

I have to agree though, he didn't look the same. I still think he looks fast, but obviously not as fast. I think the power is due to hand injuries. He hurt it against Chavez Jr and said in the corner this fight that he'd hurt it. Add it to the knee injury and his age, it may be nearing the end for him.
All credit to Murray though. The guy fought a great fight, and I wouldn't have argued had he been given the nod.
Not a robbery, but a seriously close fight that could go either way. I wouldn't blame Murray if he demanded a rematch.

I am a huge Martinez fan, but he looked like he lost all of his mobility and timing in that match. Often times, he looked like he was trying to find a way out. I don't remember Martinez ever complaining that much about fouls.
I honestly hope he hangs up the gloves, because he's looking like he could be seriously damaged and hurt in his next bout.
