Was Martinez not on Ped's for Murray fight?

sergio isnt a natural middleweight, he is small for a middleweight...he is fighting bigger and stronger guys.

 

The only drugs Sergio is on is Liquid Gold.

 

I'm as cynical as they come as far as PEDs go. Truly nothing would surprise me, but it has to be acknowledged that Sexy was coming off of knee surgery, and he's an old fighter. The dude has always had great reflexes and great cardio. There is more reason to suspect other fighters.

 

55 total fights, 38 years old and only 7 at 160
not a true middleweight, but good enough to make guys avoid him

 

I don't get your logic. If he was always using Peds, what possible reason would he have to stop using them? He was fighting in his home country where he could probably get away with anything. And coming off an injury where he couldn't keep himself in shape during his time off, he has an even bigger incentive to use peds to make up for it.

 

1. Hes 38
2. He recently had surgery on his knee
3. He broke his hand in the fight
4. Murray is a good,under rated fighter.

It had nothing to do with PEDS

 

Would that be the same left hand he BROKE in the fight!?

 

I believe you are spot on with respect to the PED use, and all the fighters you noted are indeed suspicious. MArquez was obviously roiding for Pac fight, who roided on his way up in weight. Mayweather is also in that group. It is just not humanly possible to maintain the mobility, strength and speed in your mid to late 30's. It just does not happen.

 

I loved the interview with Martinez when a reporter asked him about TRT and Sergio acted like he didn't know what it was; he was clearly lying. Remember that?

 

that was floyd you mean not sergio?

 

I would not be that surprised at all, but its all just speculation because of the variables:

Had a recent surgery, and got his ass whooped for a round where most fighters would have stayed down.
Had some tough fights in the past, and simply lost his competative edge against Murray, a man he should have beaten easy.
Age took its toll slowly and we are looking at the final stage of Martinez's career

Nothing about it screams "He is on Peds" to me

 

Excellent post!

I'm not going to accuse any boxers or athletes of using PEDs or HGH or smth. But if you believe they are clean than you should believe that Santa exists

It's not an overstatement to say that more than 95% top athletes (not only boxers) have used something to improve their strength and/or speed.

Saleta and Tony Thompson are completely right that PEDs and other things should be allowed for everyone who competes at high level.

Professional sport without steroids/PEDs/HGH etc would be completely different. There are so many naive people who believe PEDs are used only by 5% athletes and call them "cheaters".
