Sergio Martinez WOW just pure class!

Freaking Great fighter, where was this guy 5 years ago? I mean he just got on hbo like a year ago against Alex Bunema...Fought like a warrior out of his mind, and emanuel steward kept going on about paul being tougher or something to that effect, it was 2 wills in there tonight neihter of whom was going to wilt, and just for the sake of both guys the fight should have been a draw. Martinez showed pure class in the post fight interview, and that 119-111 judge is a blind idiot, yet martinez just showed nothing but class and just calling it an error and letting his "posse" do the badmouthing, amazing!

Martinez is a cool guy, I like his style and he carries himself well. I though Williams did JUST enough to win, but Martinez did more than enough to warrant an immediate rematch.

It was a great fight and both fighters did themselves proud. I have been watching the UFC simultaneously so couldn't accurately score but my impression was that Williams deserved the win. I missed the first three rounds though.

Hopefully they will do it again.

Our own sumkalambay was the third judge !! :o;D

The more I think back on the rounds the more I favor Martinez. His shots were snapping PWill's head back a lot more. Efficiency is frowned up when scoring a fight though.

Martinez won 2 of the first 3 rounds imo, I thought he edged the fight although I'll score it tomorrow.

I just think it sucks for martinez cause this time only one judge screwed him and not out of the fight necessarily cause case can be made for both guys, but due to bad judging and refeering he got a draw with cintron which should have been a ko win for him, yet he just keeps going and doesn't whine about it, that's what amazes me...true warrior!

Martinez is definitely my favorite fighter from Argentina fighting out of Spain.

Actually, I believe he's from Argentina, previously fighting out of Spain, currently fighting out of California. :)

That too.

Dang Imagine if Martinez was a big puncher:) He could've taken Paul outta there.

I did not know who Martinez was when the fight started. Yes Ima noob thanks for reminding. but Ima fan now. Fight could have went either way it was so close and I just thought he was some fill in journeyman walkover for Pwill.

Williams should feel lucky, for he easily could have and maybe even should have lost.

He looked like the stronger puncher in this fight, I think he is a pretty damn hard puncher, but he's on his toes so much it kinda softens his shots.

Martinez hit Cintron so hard he thought it was a headbutt. ;D
