But as the fight progressed, he started finding his rhythm and confidence and began letting go a bit more showing some of that flash and boxing ability he displayed against Bunema.

I think this performance was good enough for the nay sayers who felt Cintron was going to destroy Martinez to give credit for Sergio. He showed more than glimpses of his abilities in this fight.

Overall, I rate his preformance a 7. The fight wasn't close, but it wasn't pretty.

Definitely a fair assessment. I'd agree with it. It took Martinez a few rounds to get into a rhythm, it was clear he respected Cintron's power and was cautious in the beginning. He looked pretty good though, and he definitely didn't do himself a disservice with his performance.

I think everyone missed the fact that Cintron took a knee because he thought he got butted, he wasnt almost KOd, he was fully aware and was talking to the ref. Other than that I agree with your assesment of Martinez.

theref called off the fight.... cintrons complaining shouldnt be ab;e to change that.... he went don on a clean punc, he did not make the count, and then he cried about, and got 2.5 mins to recover......... robbery

if he was fully aware why didnt he notice the ref counting..you dont count for a headbutt

I was hoping he wouldn't disgrace the good name of Maravilla.
After all, that is what I go by.

He did not disappoint therefor has my blessing..
you can continue to use it Sergio!

I don't think he was almost KO'd but Kermit was an idiot for staying down so long. I think he got up and the ref made a mistake by seemingly calling it an causing such chaos.

Bottom line is that this wasn't the great performance Martinez wanted, but he did do enough to earn respect IMO and was ****ed over.

Thats not what I saw. When he was walking backward, he had glassy eyes and the million mile stare. He took a knee because he was out of it, not because he was headbutted. He got hurt and him going "AHH!" when Martinez popped him also confirms it. He didn't see it coming.

I almost got it, Martinez almost KO'D Cintron
