Comments Thread For: Frank Martin Drops, Decisions Michel Rivera in Dominant Performance

[Boxing2695]

Martin whooped that ass for 12 rounds. Just was way to quick an sharp an just had so many more tools than Rivera made him look limited an lost. Martins step back counters an the way he uses angles etc very impressive. The fight was done after about 7-8 rounds. Martin is a real player at 135lbs. I'd love to see him mix it with the top guys. Hopefully it's a humbling loss for riveria an he goes back an tries to work on somethings drop the Ali stick an get abit mean because he just didn't have it in him to try an turn the fight around but in fairness martin was just way to good

Sounds like rolly gonna b his next fight. Being that everyone else is busy that's not horrible.

Rivera is so trash for not giving an interview! Glad he lost!

[Malvado]

Frank Martin vs Shakur Stevenson could probably also happen now that he is on the mix of the top 5.

I tuned out after 7 because I felt the fight was over. Rivera seemed to have no solutions for the puzzle in front of him. Cong**** to Martin for moving up the food chain.

First of all respect to both Warriors for even putting their 0 on the Line against each other. Rivera will bounce back stronger from this for sure!

As for Martin, Incredible Athlete but also Discipline, works hard, humble and he listen to and communicate with Derrick James in the Corner. Can't say enough about Derrick James and how he prepare his fighters on a fight to fight bases. Spence, Mell, Frank...fight to fight you get different looks I notice they don't just stay with 1 style and try to use that same style vs Everybody like most fighters

Just looked well Prepared for everything Rivera was going to come with

People will give up and write Rivera off but I'm still a fan of his as well

Solid win by Frank. Derrick has him improving with each fight and he basically pitched a shutout tonight over a solid contender. Frank showed excellent IQ, footwork, angles, counters and punch placement. I am very impressed!

3-2 Rivera 5th was clear Rivera

Man do you look silly in hindsight!

That’s a good fight to raise Martins profile.

[Ganondorf]

Yeah I could tell from the way Rivera came out moving in round 1 it was going to be a rough night.

Props to Martin for recognizing and sticking to the gameplan. For a guy who started boxing late, Martin’s defense and awareness are on point.

I was definitely wrong about this fight.
