Maravillamania in Argentina

[SkillspayBills]

Sergio reminds me of Marvin Hagler in thathewas't pushed or groomed to be a big name. He did it the hard way, by beating everyone up and the fame they both got are well well deserved.

He deserves every bit of the attention he is getting. He did it the right way. War Maravilla!!

An Argentine member posted an interview with Martinez a few days ago. I commented, "Sergio must be a rock star in Argentina right now." He didn't respond. Judging from these magazine covers and your comments, I see I was right! Martinez is firing on all cylinders. Argentina is full of beautiful women; it must be great to be "Maravilla" nowadays!

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.

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.

Didn't Barrios get arrested for running over someone while drunk?
I forgot what the outcome of that was.

He was plenty entertaining.

Castro had an awfully padded resume. Maidana is an entertainer too.

He finally got the credit and exposure that he deserved, a great champion and a great role model.
