That was an epic fight last night. I haven't been geeked watching a fight like that since Corrales/Castillo 1.
Thats def my fight of the year. Reminded me of a throw back brawl.
Its rare you see men of that size throw down with that type of skill and ferocity...They were fighting like 130 lbers in there.
I have to rewatch it and score it myself but from the first watch it felt like a draw. That 119-100 was foul.
Paul's spacing was bad for much of the fight and he hardly went to the body. In the later rounds he started popping that double jab and creating distancebut Sergio is too fast and accurate to keep your guards down.
Martinez's speed and accuracy is crazy
. He gets in and out,connecting with that right hook like a guided missile....I like his corner too. They were giving real good advice.
Would love to see a rematch but these type of fights shorten fighters career. I wouldn't be mad at Punishers camp if they went after a big name/big paydayfor his next bout.
Amir Khan is going to be an exciting fighter, glass chin and all. Hes got some good speed and technique and it looks like Freddy has helped him take his powerup to 140 now. Can't wait to see him mix it up with the other legit Jr. Welters. I don't see him beating the Petersons or the Bradleys but the fightswould be exciting. I could see him and Baby Bull having one hell of a fight though.
