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

[wizard king]

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.

No such thing as even rds most judges give the close rd to the more popular or champ and in this case it was Martinez. It's just the way it always been done.
No robbery here close fight but the right guy won. Wouldt have a problem with Murray wining or draw.

Sergio looked a mess.

Not in terms of attractiveness obviously, but in terms of fighting.

Big telegraphed right hooks and jabbing/straight lefting a guard isn't going to cut it. I have no idea why he didn't utilise the straight left to the body a lot more as it landed very frequently. It simply looked like he had no ideas once his original style fell through. He couldn't even throw a short hook that might have actually hit Murray in the face, rather than a big wide thing that he easily blocks.

His athleticism usually lets him get away with it as he can make better angles with his movement. However he was always throwing from right in front of Murray who fought an excellent tactical fight and had a strong argument for winning. I am a Murray fan for sure. Catching the slower Martinez as he moved his head in and out of range towards the end there was great stuff. He had him timed at points.

from a headbutt if i heard it correctly.

They said they give a point to the cut fighter in Argentina because he is at a disadvantage , well what if it was from a punch??

i don't have a huge problem with martinez getting the decision. it was a close fight. he looked like sh#t, though. we've got to be realistic. he's 38, and has a very athletic style. he won't be on top forever.

now that he's experienced he's developed the tricks and the craftiness to survive when his athleticism lets him down, but eventually he's going to press on the pedal and nothing will be there.

golovkin knocks him out inside of eight rounds.

He pressed on the pedal tonight and I thought the tires were about to come off lol. He should be glad his chin held up when his defense didn't.

arreola is fat as hell. he's lucky that stiverne isn't good.


he's got three rolls on each side to make up for his lack of abs.

i thought murray was hurt at the end of the 12th. another minute and he might have gone down.

Gone down? Really?!? From what?? Sergio didn't attempt to throw a single hurtful punch all night. Terrible, embarrassing performance. He should slide completely off the P4P list based on tonight's fight.

The result for that fight has been posted on NSB already, so be careful if you didn't already see it...
