Martinez vs Murray - Who won?

[Kirkland Laing]

Martinez won the fight, but barely.

Murray dropped him clean after Sergio was getn cocky with his hands down and not out of fighting distance.

He looked to have lost a step tonight, but he hasn't lost any of his championship heart. He eeked out the decision, but a year ago even he would have dominated Murray as he did Barker and Macklin, who by the way HBO were trying to give those fights to AGAINST Sergio. This was by no means some grand HBO conspiracy of bias for Sergio, they've tried to screw him in the past.

Martinez didn't dominate Barker. He was outboxed and frustrated for most of that fight. You could probably argue that he was behind at the time of the stoppage.

Didn't Barker also break Martinez's nose aswell ? you could also argue Barker easily won 4 rounds in the fight aswell.

As for the thread Murray won and comfortably aswell, and if the 2nd knockdown had been scored there wouldn't be any doubt.

Murray landed the better quality shots, hurt Martinez and dropped him twice. And also had the much better defense, i don't really see how anyone can see Martinez winning, for most of the fight he was clowning and getting outboxed.

The WBC actually used instant replay to look at the second knockdown and hilariously concluded that it was a slip. Fuck the WBC.
