Sergio Martinez vs. Matthew Macklin - St. Pat's day fight thread

[erics44]

I like both fighters, Macklin has hear and Birmingham born. Sergio battered our Williams, who was a quality fighter, and hope Sergio gets the big fights he deserves.

williams was decent

macklins much better tho but so is sergio since then (its the peds )

How ripped does Sergio look, his veins will be popping out of his skin.

i personally think if there is ever a case for peds its sergio, hes improved massively in so many ways in his mid 30s, speed and power are so much improved, and at a higher weight

how is he doing it?

Stop doubting the guy. He's no faster than he was before. His power hasn't improved. If anything, in his last fight, he looked worse than he has in a while. He's no more ripped than he was back in the day. Go check his fights out. He's a phenomonal athlete. He doesn't drink between fights. He is a cycler when he isn't training for a fight. He has offered in many interviews to submit to Olympic style testing with a fight with Floyd. Sergio, like Campillo, didn't start boxing until he was 20, so, his peak has been late r than average. Plus, he hasn't been in many wars. They say a fighter's age is different than his ring age, and Sergio's ring age isn't very old.
