Martinez vs Murray - Who won?

[Master]

Martinez won what more is there to say, he is a class above these British guys.

before saturday night i would have agreed with you

even tho barker outboxed him at times i think martinez could have stepped i up earlier and finished the fight and maklin had his moments but just wasnt strong enough and wasnt tough enough

Murrays performance was very good tho, i dont buy the broken hand excuse either, from 6 onwards murray looked bigger stronger and all round better

yeah the fight was very close, the second knock down was clearly legit

i thought murray won, although I wouldnt argue with martinez nicking it, if the fight was else where then it could probably have gone the other way

well done martin murray

Ricky, unsurprisingly had Murray winning something with which I agree. Not so sure that Martin is the best middleweight in Britain though. Excellent article here from a great boxing site http://www.saddoboxing.com/21570-hat...-martinez.html

Immediately after the fight though, Murray acknowledged that he lost. He said that Martinez just nicked it, or something to that effect.

I think it was a close fight but not a robbery.
You cant call close fights robberies IMO.
Personally, I scored it for Martinez by a point but I would understand why some scored it for Murray because it was that close.
Credit to Murray though, he surprised me i didn't think he was that good or maybe its Martinez on the slide, either way good performance from Murray.

So would you if you were an Englishman in a field full of thousands of Argentinians.

I have no idea why Murray faded the last couple of rounds. If he had not I could certainly see him winning. Murray showed himself to be a classy fighter. I was not familiar with Murray prior to the fight, I think we will be seeing more of him. Certainly had that been called a knockdown and if Murray didn't take a nap in the 12th he would have easily have won. I used to like Martinez but that showboating was ridiculous, especially in a fight that was so close. With the calls that were made I think Martinez did win.
