Matinez was on his way to stopping the quitter that’s why arroyo wanted no more. Arroyo is a disgrace.
I mean he got dropped himself by someone who's not that big of a puncher. I like Martinez but he's crude I figured Arroyos age would play a factor in the end but that didn't seem the be the case the fight was on equal terms until the headbutt.
JCM is durable and determined, his lightning quick hands are unrivaled at flyweight ; but he is very defensively flawed and when hurt is very basic : catch-and-shoot, catch-and-shoot. McWilliam's fought very dumb, partly due to the early success that he had in the first round with the knockdown. I wonder how this would of played-out if Arroyo would of had took his time and boxed.
Credit to Julio, he got up and fought like a real champion and retained his WBC flyweight championship. Let me tell you, Junto Nakatani, will beat Julio Cesar Martinez : the WBO Flyweight champ is too smart and more importantly methodically-patient, he will not engage recklessly and is too well-schooled to fall for Julio's apparent trap.
I knew this one was going to be messy, McWilliams is a guy that was born to upset the apple cart.
I thought he could see, but wasn’t surprised he took the out. It reminded me of Robert Guerrero quitting when he fought Yordan years ago. Got a bad cut early, could clearly still see, but didn’t wanna do a tough fight with a cut like that so he told the ref he couldn’t continue.
Wasn’t mad at Guerrero then, not mad at McWilliams now. It is what it is.
