Martinez vs Murray - Who won?

[Mark TKO]

i just watched this - thought Murray had nicked it too but knew full well Martinez would get the decision which was to be expected.

Yep he needs to retire as he will get sparked if he continues

I put money on Murray winning and said that his pressure would be too much for Martinez but I can't say I was surprised at the decision. Doesn't make it any less of a robbery though. Martinez who I always thought was a good sport seemed to realise that Murray wasn't going to follow the script from pretty early on and whined and whinged about every tiny infraction, real or Imagined. They don't want Murray fighting Chavez and so Martinez is given a freebie.

The Wide Open scoring for Martinez was complete BS and the Idea that Murray should have to Knock a champion out or fight in a particular style in order to win is just as dumb. Yes Sergio as I had said, and many people had remarked, is falling to pieces, but give Murray credit for stepping into the Lions den and not getting carried away, instead following the excellent game plan of his corner ffs.

Football (Soccer) can mess up your knees, Cycling similarly, couple that with broken hands, shoulder surgery and a low hand style that is often rewarded with blows to the face then 37 is old and Sergio's best days are behind him. All those people scoffing at the idea that GG would beat him easily must concede that the idea was not so far fetched now.


Well done Martin, you just marched into British Boxing Folklore whatever the record books say.
