1st off let me say that I did not score it so I cant fully say what was what. However, I will also say that I feel that the mass media & fans are biased against pure boxers. Its like if you dont try to brawl or knock guys out then you suck, so therefore I always try to take up for them. Even with that and with Martinez being the pure boxer in this matchup, I felt that it was a super close fight and I could easily see a draw. I didnt come on here after the fight last night but I cant beleive that so many people on here think that Martinez clearly won without any debate and some think he dominated.
To me, this fight was kind of like Taylor vs Spinks. People gave Spinks alot of credit for how he was moving and stuff but he still never really landed any punches and I felt the same way last night. I think fans listen to the HBO commentators and Lederman way too much on there picks. The HBO guys always see one thing from the jump and they will stay on it non stop and never switch no matter if the action turns or not. I felt Martinez was doing well early when Lederman was giving Cintron the rounds but then Lederman & the commentators talked non stop about how Martinez was outboxing Cintron from then on and I didnt see it.
I felt that Martinez was just moving and thats it. There were times where it would be the exact halfway point of a round and Max would start going on and on about how Martinez is totally controling the fight right now when Im dead serious in saying that I dont even think Martinez had landed one punch in the round at that point. I think he gave the illusion that he was winning or something because he was moving like he normaly does but he never landed a punch while Cintron was landing a few. I swear I think if people rewatch that fight and turn the sound down then they will see a different fight. Again, I cant be totally sure of the score because I didnt score it but it seemed like a draw from what I was watching and I definatly felt that Cintron won alot of those middle rounds that people act like Martinez dominated.
Dont get me wrong though, both guys ******. It was a horrible style matchup, and Cintron looked like a non confident bum who had no pure boxing skills but Martinez looked like a bum ass Calzaghe and was equaly as bad and sloppy to me. Until the knock down he seemed pure scared of coming in at Cintron because he was afraid to get hit back. Thats why I dont see this dominant performance that others see. I felt as crappy as Cintron looked, he was actually outboxing Martinez in those middle rounds. Max use to be my boy but I disagree with him in nearly every fight now. It almost seems like every single time that they make it seem like one guy is owning it, the other guy is actually fighting better to me
