Martinez will only fight once this year

[DoktorSleepless]

From Pablo Sarmiento:

"We were talking with the entire team about the work of Martinez and we all practically agreed that he should he should have only one fight this year in order to not to strain is body anymore that comes from all the demanding work and from the number of injuries he has suffered that even led to surgery. I think it's most prudent in this case that he takes a break to leave behind the wear and see how we continue after.

Well there goes my big dreams of Sergio vs Golovkin.

Kind of a waste of a year if he's only going to fight Murray.

[SCEN3RY]

that kinda sucks. thought they'd gauge his performance versus murray first, but whatever you need to do to get better

[Jloro]

Kind of disappointing but I'd rather him not kill himself lol

Awww! BOO! I hope the MW division starts to clean itself up while he's on hiatus. So when he comes back, he'll have no choice but to fight the undisputed #2.

That's the only silver lining to this. It might force the middleweights to fight each other instead of waiting for a Martinez fight.

Sergio taking a page out of Floyd's playbook.

What a waste of a year if that's true.

He don't want none of GGG it seems.

Ward fought only once last year and it was against a severely weight drained Dawson; magically moves from #4 to #1 P4P, no one complains. He also hasn't fought this year as of yet and is planning to fight only once.

Besides, nothing's confirmed and Sergio always has the last word, he might slip in a fight Nov/Dec if he heals completely before then. I suspect this may have something to do with him re-injuring his knee while training for the Murray fight--meaning maybe he shouldn't be fighting as it is.
