Matthysse dropped Martinez in sparring

[DoktorSleepless]

Martinez doesn't say it outright, but I think it's implied. My rough translation.

I was training in Oxnard with Lucas and what I remember is his tremendous power from his punches. We were taking turns working on attack and defense, and one time he landed a tremendous hook to my liver that...Well, one is a boxer and tries to hide it, but the truth was that it was tremendous. He's a great boxer and also a big puncher, which something that many people in the United States maybe don't know.

Could be but it's not the first thing I thought. Maybe Martinez just showed it hurt and they paused sparring.

I don't know. If you ever get a hit by a liver shot, specifically a hard liver shot, the resulting fall is kind of a given.

I wouldn't doubt it. They don't call him the baddest man in boxing for nothing.

I believe it. Fighters are always getting dropped our even KO'd in sparring. We just never hear about it.

That's awesome. When was this, Lucas still has the rat tail.

Who'd of thought it?

My world is crumbling, first GGG and now Maravilla hurt by bodyshots in sparring.

Someone will be telling us they're both human beings next.

2010, Lucas was training to fight Judah
