Sergio Martinez has no middle knuckle on his left hand

Read this in a new ring article. Didn't know he ****ed up his hand that bad. No wonder his knockout ratio isn't that great.

Martinez made a fist with his left hand, exposing a missing lead knuckle, in order to drive home his point. He said he broke his power hand early in his pro career, resulting in almost nine months of rehab and inactivity that tested his resolve.

“Two doctors told me that I would never box again but I viewed the injury the same way I view my difficulty getting big fights now – as obstacles that I must overcome,” he said. “I never give up. I never give in negative thinking. I know if I remain positive and motivated and I continue to work hard my goals will happen.”

Knockout ratio might not be great, but he's destroying guys lately like Williams and even Barker felt his power. Dude can still crack with the best. Macklin will be next after a great fight.

Wow, I've never even heard of something like that, much less with a pro boxer.

I've seen a couple of pictures of Joe Frazier where it appeared he had the same disfigurement. I don't know if Joe was missing a knuckle, or if it was just broken.

This might explain why he only blossomed late on in his career. All that time when he was expected to make a big name for himself, he was busy regrouping after the operation and getting his confidence back.
