I reviewed the fight, I thought Martinez won rounds 1, 2, 3, 4,7, 11, and 12 clearly. Murray won rounds 6, 8, and 10 clearly. Rounds 5 and 9 could have gone either way. The fight could have been scored 114-112 Sergio, 115-112 Sergio (as the judges had it), or 116-111 Sergio.
I dare anyone to rewatch the fight and tell me Sergio didn't at least win rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 11, and 12. Sergio was more active in those rounds and was also throwing the harder shots.
The controversy is that people saw someone they thought would blow through Murray look subpar, so now they have to either call robber or or demand Sergio retire.
^^^Martin Murray is clearly a top 10 middleweight, who fought well and didn't fold versus the middleweight champ. Whether he's top 5 shall be seen, but he's no bum like many have chose to make out. I won't say Martinez was his usual self, it's clear he wasn't, but a lot of you guys are acting like Murray wasn't even ranked at 160.
Martinez looks like his body needs a break. Some time off should do him good I think. Fighting on injuries sounds like a recipe for disaster.
You biased twat, the two knockdowns were legit, both times he went down from punches
That low blow was FAKE, Martinez feigned a low blow after a punch from Murray landed on his hip. pathetic
the wuss also feigned a headbutt later on, so he could get some recovery time after he got stunned from an uppercut from Murray, and got away with it thanks to that **** biased referee
Nobody is disputing that Sergio won the first 4 rounds, thanks to Murray's utter lack of activity, he was giving Sergio too much respect at first, undeservedly so, as soon as Murray started to let his hands go he was beating Sergio from pillar to post.
You are dumb as heck dude, the pics show Sergio TRIPPING over the guy's foot, how's that not a trip?
it's also funny how TS is complaining about Guerrero vs Mayweather (bum ass match up imo as well) but it's okay for Sergay F.agtinez to fight Murray and only Murray this year
I'm not complaining about Mayweather fighting Guerrero, he is a top ranked welterweight contender, I just think it's gonna be a boring fight because we've already seen Floyd fight against that type of opponent before. I would like to see Floyd fight a wider diversity of opponents so I can see how his style works against them.
sergio lost that fight. most of his punches were blocked by murray's guard.
he got punked in his own country and was only saved via hometown decision and the ref not calling that 2nd ko.
look at his face compared to murray.
NOTE: This was actually a reply to another thread, but the guy looks thick.

Oh yeah and to the thread title: "where's the controversy?"
Really mother ****er? Even without saying who won, the blown 2nd KD and the body shot that hurt Martinez called a low blow are conterversy.
Do you even dictionary?
just two things alone, had they been called right, would of Gave Murray the win.
There's your conterversy.
/thread.

. You're looking like a fool right now. You were already a terrible poster and now you are taking your bias and nut hugging to another level. You KNOW Sergio lost that fight, a month ago you were saying he would destroy GGG and as soon as this fight ended "lol old man Sergio needs to retire"
Rewatch the damn fight you biased kunt and stop licking Martinez' chops.
Trying to troll? You're the one trying to troll you idiot. You haven't even broke the fight down, all you've said was Sergio needs to retire, and that people who said Macklin won and trolling. Break it down then you Limey
Twat.
. Seriously I hate posters like you. All they do is defend their favorite fighters to their grave no matter what happens, and don't even input anything to the discussion.
Yes, I'm mad.
its amazing the double standards lol
people say canelo won because he landed cleaner and harder
people say bradley won because he landed more volume
murrey landed CLEANER, HARDER AND HE LANDED MORE. martinez won the first 3 rounds, after that he got his ass kicked, simple, he never won another round until 11 and then lost the 12th imo
The difference is Canelo landed harder and cleaner but he was also making Trout miss most of the time
Bradley on the other hand, was tagging Provodnikov at will with his pillow fists, eventhough Ruslan was killing him whenever he landed something
Ontopic: Murray got robbed indeed
In rounds 4-11, I don't think there was one round where Martinez landed harder punches than Murray.
exactly man, i find it incredible the martinez fans:rofl:
they must have been watching a totally different fight to the majority, the guy lost and lost bad
he very clearly lost 7 rounds in that 12 round fight and also got dropped twice, that was a hometown robbery, murray clearly won
its amazing the double standards lol
people say canelo won because he landed cleaner and harder
people say bradley won because he landed more volume
murrey landed CLEANER, HARDER AND HE LANDED MORE. martinez won the first 3 rounds, after that he got his ass kicked, simple, he never won another round until 11 and then lost the 12th imo
it was a blatant robbery
edit
also the fact murrey won more rounds, he got 1 kd and got robbed another kd
This. You guys are biased as hell and your nuthuggery has surpassed your judgement.
I reviewed the fight, I thought Martinez won rounds 1, 2, 3, 4,7, 11, and 12 clearly. Murray won rounds 6, 8, and 10 clearly. Rounds 5 and 9 could have gone either way. The fight could have been scored 114-112 Sergio, 115-112 Sergio (as the judges had it), or 116-111 Sergio.
I dare anyone to rewatch the fight and tell me Sergio didn't at least win rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 11, and 12. Sergio was more active in those rounds and was also throwing the harder shots.
sergio did not win round 4, 7 and 12, murrey out worked him and landed the cleaner better shots, sergio was just a cheer leader
the fact his own commentators had him losing says it all, murrey was robbed
after round 3 he beat the hell out of sergio until round 11
I Agree lol. People on here *****in just trying to troll. Our they are retarded or need more entertainment in their lives so they try to get reasons on the internet lol

haha screw you! murrey beat the hell out of him, no way he lost the 4th or 7th round
martinez also lost the 12th round, the guy was getting hit with clean shots non stop after round 3, martinez landed the harder shots? gtfo and learn the sport you biased
its amazing the double standards lol
people say canelo won because he landed cleaner and harder
people say bradley won because he landed more volume
murrey landed CLEANER, HARDER AND HE LANDED MORE. martinez won the first 3 rounds, after that he got his ass kicked, simple, he never won another round until 11 and then lost the 12th imo

When was Martinez actually hurt in the fight? The first "knockdown" came from a trip and the second supposed KD came from a grazing puch to the back of Sergio's head. Also, no one actually knows whether Martinez cut came from an actual punch, not that it matters.

If you actually review the fight you'll see that Murray hardly threw or landed a punch in rounds 1-4. In fact, in round four Sergio landed a hard overhand left on Murray's face while Martin's best punch of the round came from a low blow. lol. :boxing:
In rounds 7, 11, and 12 Sergio landed multiple jabs and overhand lefts while pushing the action.
Rounds 5 and 9 were toss up rounds.
You biased twat, the two knockdowns were legit, both times he went down from punches
