The Official Sergio Martinez-Martin Murray & HBO Undercard RBR & Prediction Thread

[Juanma9]

I think it was a close fight, but Martinez is showing his age.

No offense to Martin Murray (I thought he won tonight), but he is a pretty damn basic fighter. For a P4P level fighter to go life and death with a guy like Murray is telling. Martinez' career is done. He will be KO'd in his next fight. If Murray pressed a little more I think he could have had the KO tonight. I'm a big Maravilla fan, but watching him **** around with his hands down and throwing **** ass punches (and whining left and right) made me really want to see him KO'd.

Size was a significant factor imo. Murray soaked up Martinez's punches easily.

if you guys score either 11th or 12th for Murray we are watching different sports.

If Murray did win 11th and 12th which he could have he would have earned it.

murray clearly won that fight. perhaps not a clear robbery, but c'mon murray beat martinez up

This. Come on now. I don't even care if the fight was in Argentina, sergios ring rust or surgery Doesnt matter. none of that mattwrs, wha matters is what happened in the ring, This isn't a popularity contest, it's a boxing Match and Murray gave Martinez a boxing lesson. Absolutely terrible score card IMO

chavez ruined this hype job Im glad. time to pack it in and retire or else Chavez jr will kill you.

Year lay off, several career threatening injuries, injures his hand in the fight (bare in mind its the same hand hes had issues with his whole career and has knuckle bone) and hes a 'hype job' because he had a tough fight.

Only on boxingscene.

The loser won, and the winner lost. It was one of those fights

The decision is like Trout-Canelo, can go either way. Scores were ridiculous, and from Martinez's attitude, I can't help but feel this was a pre-determined outcome

[arizashakes]

I had it 6-6, Muarry winning by the KD.

Close fight but the close rds went to Martinez and that won him the fight.
Murray did a good job but not enough to win. You can't give close rds to the challenger.

Who says you can't give close rounds to the challenger? People say that all the time as though its some sort of rule. If you can't figure out who won a close round, then its an even round. Pretty simple, but these judges don't ever seem to consider this basic fact.

He won the 11th easily but Martinez ran around the ring in the 12th trying not to engage, he's not getting credit for that, he couldn't throw his left properly either at that point.

Regardless, Murray won it without the 12th and the second knockdown was legit.

To be fair to Murray, that's a gameplan that has worked against Martinez in three fights now. Barker fought that way and had success, Macklin fought that way and had success, and now Murray did as well. It's not just Sergio's age.
