Maravillamania in Argentina

Good for him he deserves it! Hes on magazines and being cheered while Chavez has become a punchline and disgrace to Chavez name. All is right in boxing for the moment.

It's nice when everything turns out the way it should for once.

[Young Money]

first time I've seen him with a woman.

Heartbroken?

[WesleySnipes]

Martinez definatly deserve it...man he made me a fan...not only boxing wise but everything...how he loves the sport and his desire for helping people and all...he is a great person! So sad that he is at the top so late...imagine he would be 27...maaan we would have so many more great years with him...

First time I see a picture of him and his girl, or his girl for that matter.

[Canelo Phresh]

I really thought the guy was gay not that it mattered. Good for him.

Boxers don't really get a lot of fans here, it's all Football. I've seen some boxers get a little attention in the past like Jorge La "Hiena" Barrios, Jorge "Locomotora" Castro or El "Chino" Maidana but never like this. Everyone was talking about last saturday fight.

I think that he is probably gonna be the most famous argentinian boxer since Monzon.

Isn't he already?

The first time I saw Martinez fight was in a live broadcast of his first bout with Paul Williams. I became an instant fan. Sergio has appeal that extends beyond Argentina. That's a real star. Of course, as you get closer to the source, the light shines brighter.

niceeeeeeeeeee


hope it dont effect him in the ring

Martinez is on the verge of becoming one of those few guys in boxing who have a fan base and draws butts to seats. Right now is 1. Mayweather, 2. Pacquiao, 3. Cotto and after that you got the two overated mexicans Canelo and Chavez Jr who are still long way away from #3 Cotto but still can pack the house. Martinez now has a chance to build up from that win..

[CubanGuyNYC]

It's something that started this years, actually a few months ago, with the Macklin fight. But for the boxing fans it's kind of odd since the news papers don't care too much about boxing, not as it should. The media didn't care about him being one of the top 3 p4p, they became aware about his sudden popularity with the "dancing with the stars" TV show. Who knows, I hope this would help argentine boxing.

I'd say there's no doubt about it. Sergio has got to be an inspiration to all young Argentine hopefuls. As more of his people hear of his exploits and fame abroad, they'll hop on the wagon and create still greater fame. It'll create greater interest in boxing and help bring more attention to other Argentinean fighters and promotions. The real question is: will it last?

[Optimistic]

G**** to him, he deserves nothing less.
