We watched one great fighter tonight beat a good fighter. It was competitive 5-8 but Martinez ate Kelly's soul when he cut up Kelly's eyes. Mad respect for Martinez, he came to win that belt tonight and he put on an impressive showing. Martinez is a great fighter, hopefully he puts more names on his resume.
I wouldn't call him overrated. Martinez was just a better boxer. Slick boxers with the right amount of skill ALWAYS beat one dimensional punchers, unless they get caught by a deadly, flush, Tua type punch.
No. He was unlucky tonight with the cuts, thought he adjusted well until that second cut. I am a fan of Martinez now too, though. He's a tremendous fighter.
