Is Martinez actually coming off an unoffical loss to face Cotto?

Khomitsky hasn't made his intentions clear that he's leaving 160 permanently. You can't strip him of the lineal title that soon.

You are right, maybe like GGG he is going up for one fight.

I'm so glad the boxing world has a lineal champ like khomitsky.

It was a close fight, I scored it for Sergio but could have gone either way.

It wasn´t in any way a blatant robbery

That's pretty much my feeling. Though without Sergio's iffy performance, and his long down time, there wouldn't be much drama heading into the Cotto fight... So points for keeping it interesting or whatever.

At first I thought Murray got robbed, maybe because I was a bit biased against Martinez, then I watched it again a couple times more and changed my mind.
Compared to other real, shameless robberies such as Danny Garcia vs Mauricio Herrera, the most you can say is that it was very close. You cant say Murray clearly won, and if you're beating a champ you have to do so in a non debatable manner, either KO or clearly winning by points. If its that close, then the champ should get the benefit of the doubt and not the other way around. Again, if it is that close,clearly dominating most of the rounds and still losing the fight now thats a robbery and we see it happen too often.

I watched this yesterday and had it 116-112 to Serg.
If Murray had made any kind of effort in the first few rounds, he would have been the champ. To a ceratin extent I believe you have to take the title from the champion and Murray just didn't do that imo.

Sergio was there for the taking though and looked pretty poor. I'm starting to think Cotto may have a decent chance come June.

Where in the rules of scoring does it state this?

I wonder who wants to step up to the lineal champ at MW?

The rate it's going with khomitsky, I'm thinking my local cab driver.

Oh wait he has to fight wladimir. Lol
