    Can't refute that, obviously saying it counts against him was stupid when I read it back. I just don't think it lends any creedence to his being regarded as a top fighter, Junior really was appaling for most of that scrap. If you look for it Sergio actually loses his legs in a big way a round or two before he gets into trouble there, and that's after being able to pretty well coast and work at his own pace up to the point. If he can't hold up 12 rounds fighting a heavy bag, I can't see him dealing with a serious puncher who has better skills than he does.

    Junior is a bloated tool and Martinez did what he was supposed to but he really did give him his only chance, he traded late and as he often does, got cocky and takes some hits. Martinez had alot to do with shutting fat boy down. I see the toll on his mobility and for his style he'll feel the age two fold from a guy who is determined to sit on your chest from the first round and knows body-head variation like Golo. His short shot jab to the chest can shut movement down but we haven't seen much. You fight with your legs and foot placement as much as you do with the hands no doubt and he'll need every bit plus some but on the flip side, Golovkin hasn't seen substance and angles like Martinez.
