Sergio Martinez WOW just pure class!

[TheBranMan]

I had him ahead 3 points, but on the same token, there were quite a few close rounds. Great fight. The 119 score for anyone was BS, though. Terrible judging in that case. This should've went down as a draw. Sergio fights very well and for a good cause, he has earned a new fan in me. It's a pitty he's had quite a career of hardship

Even in loss, however, Martinez definitely gained the most from this fight. Everything was stacked against Martinez from the beginning. The fight was fought at 160, which is not Martinez's natural weight class, and the fight was staged in the United States against a fighter many people in the boxing community don't want to see lose. When all was said and done, Martinez exposed Paul Williams. Paul isn't the most feared fighter on the planet anymore, that's certain now. Martinez looked more athletic and a better boxer than Pwill. I like Martinez's chances over anyone between 147 and 160.

I agree: Paul Williams natural advantage is his pure size if he isnt that tall and rangy he is nothing special. Now I think Kelly Pavlik destroys him

Martinez also has the best hair in boxing, hands down.

Hey Sum,

It wasn't just people that thought he was a bad match up for Floyd, it was Floyd himself. Listen to the interview with RA the Rugged Man and Floyd admits Paul would be too big for him.

I'm not certain Sergio exposed Paul; rather, the situation was much like Ward in the aftermath of the Ward/Kessler fight, where maybe Sergio, in that case Ward, had been overlooked for a long time, and even in defeat (or alleged victory) Williams and Kessler remain classy boxers.
