Respect appreciation thread for maravilla

[-Makunouchi-]

The most underrated great boxer in our generation, big ups to sergio martinez for still fighting on his age and on the injuries he had sustained for the past years.

Sergio was a class act, he never had any excuses about his loss. It's just age and wear and tear just caught up with him and props for cotto for doing what he has to do.

This thread is for the marvels and great fights that Maravilla gave us, and what I think the middleweight king deserves great respect from nsb fans.

True warrior, champ, person. Thank you champ!

He was a really good champion. Will always remenber his fights with Williams, he won me some money one the rematch.

Martinez was a great middleweight champ. He always has respect for his opponents. Class act.

Had a nice run and did everything he could possibly do to try and have a big name fight him. Class act, I'm hoping he has one more farewell fight in his country... Give him a proper send off.

poppa sergio is a HOF...he fought even though he can cancel the fight due to serious injuries but a true warrior he fought!!

[Dinamita 03]

It's a shame to see him go out like that definitely not the way a champ should go out. Even in defeat he showed balls and humility

[Redd Foxx]

I think he's a great fighter and loved watching his fights. With that said, he should have never gotten in the ring in this condition. Shameful. Tells me he just wanted the check. Fker was stumbling without even getting hit, his knees were so bad.

Props to Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez, he was the true middleweight champion. His career should be an inspiration to all. Definitely a HOF caliber career and just sucks he was never in the boxing light at an early age.

Great champ. He had a helluva reign.

[Kuyukut]

for now the only thing i can give to a great champion like sergio is... RESPECT!

indeed... one of the great real champion and warrior of our era!
