Sergio Martinez is from Argentina. I must admit I slept through global studies as a kid but...that's in South America. Lemme check a map. Yep....South America. THOSE DAMN EUROS! Where's the price is right FAIL sound when you need it? One more thing to consider...Vernon Forrest is a Buddy McGirt trained fighter. I rest my case.
I know were the guy is from, but he now lives in and fights mostly out of Europe, thus he has picked up a large European following.
Do you guys REALLY have any faith in Vernon Forrest? I mean he lost to Sergio Mora and is trained by Buddy McGirt. He is TRAINED by Buddy McGirt. Is that reason enough?
He can work with Kermit Cintron to prepare. McGirt- I'm not gonna keep lettin you take those punches baby. I'm not gonna let you take those punches. Kermit chiming in- It was a headbutt! Vernon- Yeah a headbutt. McGirt- I'm not gonna keep lettin you take those headbutts Vernon. Bang downstairs to the body baby! Downstairs to the body. Here drink some water.
Oh man... I can so see that! McGirt coaching, Cintron rubbing his shoulders and Yoel Judah as cutman and zip!, zap!, zoom! clotheslining Martinez's trainer! :rant Arrrrgh, Froggy!
Sidenote:Anyone notice Martinez's trainer? Guy is a real gangsta,with shades on at everytime acting cool and ****.
Yeah, that guy really stood out for me, too... :smoke but, somehow, I'm drawing a complete blank on his name.
