Sergio needs to retire

[dan_cov]

His body is failing him big time. Shoulder, knees, hands etc

His reflexes have diminished. Being honest I felt he looked soft, compared to normal.

He looked one-dimensional, the speed wasn't there, his jab was not what it was - that was one hell of a weapon. His punch resistance is very questionable IMO 5 of his last 8 have decked him & I'm sorry but Macklin & Murray are not punchers.

Rule them slips or whatever, his punch resistance is on the fade.

I say all this as a fan as hes going to lose to some absolute bum before hes finished. Any other country & he may not of got the nod.

Credit to Murray, he came with a great gameplan, 'he good boy' but for me is the weakest of the trio - Murray, Barker, Macklin, I think both the others beat him soundly I really do.

I don't want to see Sergio fight again after tonight, I had him destroying GGG, Quillin etc before now I think GGG in particular literally ends his life.

Sorry fellow Martinez fans but hes shot to ****. He had a lucky escape tonight.

Sergio Martinez is a bum.

Murray was robbed. Look at the punch stats.

Robbed of the 2nd knock down.

Bum!!

lol he might need to retire. Or maybe a ba day trying to impress too much with injuries lingering

Sergio Martinez is a bum.

He'd still wreck that ginger clown in your avatar mind. The trouble he had with Trout My god Sergio would have a field day with that boy.

''Murray was robbed. Look at the punch stats.''

Punch stats don't mean an awful lot, most of Murrays work came in like rounds 7-10. Look at the punchstats from Trout & Canelo, must mean Trout was robbed!

Sadly I think he is done.

The injuries obviously didn't help or the weather/wet ring but I think its fair to say he has certainly lost a step.

There didn't seem like much snap on his shots tonight either. He looked heavily faded to me.

[Weebler I]

He should hang them up but he probably won't.

[prinzemanspopa]

A catchweight and a 50-50 split with Cotto and then he should retire. I agree that the knee injury has pretty much finished him off and that he'd best avoid fighting the likes of Alvarez, Golovkin and even a rematch with junior.

[Southpawology]

Too small of a sample size to judge just yet IMO. First fight coming off a major surgery and a wet ring, but if he looks the same in his next fight then I might have to agree with you. Nobody escapes father time...BHOP and JMM are next.

He better retire before GGG or Canelo knock his ass out.
