Maravillamania in Argentina

[Weebler I]

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

I had never heard him speak until the face-off and 24/7, watching that I have no idea why people thought he was gay.

There is much to like about Martinez

For one he is not a fabricated champion, the boxing machine diddent want him to win because of his age and because he was not a american.

After he knocked out the punisher, he was put in there with solid and proven unbeaten fighters, and what did he do, he knocks them all out.

And then there is his style, he is a very advanced fight with superb reflexes, he dances around the ring like a young Ali, faints,punches with damaging power and precision, from odd angels.
And he has a ton of hart, getting up from that knockdown in the 12 round and then stand toe to toe and landing was pure magic.

he is also handsome, well spoken and a good person.

What is not to like

[SPREAD]

This is too much. Martinez is on the covers of all magazines of celebrities this week. Right now he is really really popular, a fight in Argentina could be huge, i mean 60.000 people, easy. This never happened since Monzón, people are starting to care again of boxing. Have a look at the last one...

He's a boss.

Man my wife, my sisters, and my mom kept asking me about him. I never saw anything about him being married or having kids or a trail of broken hearts. He dresses well, wears pink and purple alot which, isnt necessarily gay but done by gay guys alot or pimps. I just assumed a guy that good looking 37 years old and rich and successful was gay. I was wrong.

being a maravilla fan since the bunema fight, his metrosexual style, living with the sarmiento family and never having seen him with a woman in public made me think he was gay too

never cared though, he's a great fighter with an exciting style and a generous heart, his personal life is his business

[gmc_rfc_06]

Very pleased to see the guy getting the attention and credit he deserves.

It's guy's like Sergio that deserve to be in the spotlight; he'll fight anybody, he always entertains, he always goes for the knockout, he doesn't run, he has a ton of heart...

Cong**** Sergio, enjoy the spotlight.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Oh, and another thing, I think Sergio has that appeal to be a huge draw.

I'm not just talking about a fan favourite in Argentina, but internationally. The way Pacquiao and Cotto have come from foreign countries to become stars world-wide. Sergio has the style, the achievements, the look and the personality to be a draw everywhere if Lou DiBella can make the most of it.

Outside of trolls or fanboy's of fighters he's beat, I don't know of anyone who doesn't like Sergio.

Too bad hes so old. Had he been in his early 30s by now I think he can pull it off.

I guess it depends on how much longer he has left. I can see him fighting til he's 40 at least, as long as he doesn't suffer any serious injuries during that time.

[D-MiZe]

Martinez is slowing down already, he'll be out of the sport before he's 40.

Just because he started late doesn't mean he's a freak like Hopkins.
