Sergio Martinez is great but he has a few flaws that will cause his demise!!!!!!

[Steak]

Serg will likely lose to a guy that can crowd him at close range, negating his footwork and counter punching, and deplete his stamina, which is not his strongest point.

he can also get dropped by correctly placed right hands since his hands are always low.

I can definitely see someone like Lemieux KOing Martinez, once Lemieux starts getting better and Martinez gets older.

You really think fighters like Kirkland and Angulo can expose those flaws? I don't think so.

If they ever fought Martinez, it will be Sergio exposing their flaws. Especially Kirkland, he's a knockout just waiting to happen.

The only person who was able to so that was Marg. But I don't see any fighter now that will be able to do that to him.

First of all he fights with his hands too low and gets hit a lot, second IMO he does not have a great chin. PWilliams knockd him down and Williams is not known to be a real heavy puncher, He has been rocked by Pavlik and Dzinzurik. I believe Krikland and Angulo have a good chance of beating him because of their great chins and tremendous knock out power, especially Kirkland!! Martinez has not been tested by anyone like those two guys!!! Im not hating, IMO Martinez should be P4P #2 right under Pacquiao, im just expressing my opinion on what I believe will be his down fall!!!!!!!

This is the jab, your next post will no doubt be about how Angulo will KTFO Segio.


Where does it end!!!?

Yeah, I think he threw Kirkland's name in there to disguise the true intent of his post.

Martinez has great handspeed and he controls range very well, the only reason he drops his hands is to invite his opponent to punch so he can dodge it or slip it and make you pay, usually with more then 1 punch.

Besides that he's always well conditioned, which is why Angulo & Kirkland would have problems with him in the later rounds.

Sergio Martinez and well conditioned does not belong in the same sentence. Sergio took a breather for 2 round against Dzinziruk. against the guy with no head movement, no defense and no power.

among the endless goat herders n kazakhistanian sheep farmers sergio has faced, dzinziruk was definitely the best.

Once Martinez has found his range against the opponent and knows at which distance the opponent cannot hit him, he will keep his hands low.

The benefits to martinez for keeping his hands low are:

1 ) Balance! It is easier for him to move swiftly with his hands closer to his waist level than in front of his face.

2 ) Going to the body.

3 ) Landing the counter hook.

4 ) Protecting against body shots.

5 ) Baiting the other fighter- this helped martinez get first knockdown of dizinziruk in round 8

6 ) Creating a clinch.

7 ) Conserving energy.

haha lol @ u sergiosexuals.

that's y when u go 2 a boxing gym they tell u: "ok, now remember 2 keep ur hands low like a n00b."

can u imagine angelo dundee to ali: "no matter what u do against george foreman, REMEMBER 2 KEEP UR HANDS LOW!!!"

hahaha.
