I'm with you bro. To be fair Martinez doesnt have the versatility of Dirrell. However like Dirrell, Martinez is what I like to call Southpaw Slickkkkk
Dirells speed, stamina(he was slowing down in the latter part of the fight though), length, elusiveness and switching his stance was what had Arthur confused, even then Arthur was catching him clean and had a legitimate knockdown, not counted. Now if anyone follows AA we know if he does not respect your power, he will walk you down. Martinez has shown to have a macho mentality and go toe to toe in his fights and I think AA gets to him by countering with a left hook or straight right knocking him out. AA KO SM round 7-9
Martinez. Abraham has the chance to KO anyone with his power, but the book has been out on Abraham for a long time, and Martinez has the perfect style to pitch a shutout against AA, and I'd bank on it to happen much more than AA stopping Martinez.
Very interesting fight. Very tough one to call. Im getting a headache just trying to imagine it Rd by Rd. Martinez has the style to give AA fits, but he does get hit. Imagine AA's shot tapping Martinez. Im a *****, Ill say a draw.
imo this would be very interesting I would love to see it I would say martinez ud but you cant ever count out a ferocious puncher like abraham I get the feeling that abraham could be too strong for sergio but at the same time martinez has proven his toughness its a fight thats really hard to predict.
get some glasses man cuz theres no way abraham was ahead on points in that fight but Ill admit that referee sucked for not counting the knockdown for abraham even with the kd no way
Landshark made one very interesting point. When an opponent hurts Martinez, Sergio wants to retaliate immediately. That could get him in trouble with Abraham.
I've watched the KD sequence several times. That was a legit knock down. However, if you look at the position of the fighters, the position of their feet, and the ref's position, it's easy to see why the ref might have thought Dirrell tripped over Arthur's left foot. I think it was an honest mistake.
