    It was apparent in the murray fight. He had no angles and didnt have pop anymore.

    He looked great vs sluggish come forward Chavez.

    He then fought Murray on a rain slicked canvas. With his style, he was bound to tear and twist and torque them old joints.

    Lets be thankful he was fighting GGG last night.

    He woulda been taken out on a stretcher with the 1 punch landed.:shock::shock::shock::shock:

    Had to be during the Chavez fight it's hard to be that athletic as you age and at 39 with 2 knee surgeries and a year lay off ,I mean had he cherry picked he could have extended his career ..But Sergio wasn't It that type of fighter .

    Euro tour? Who was Martinez suppose to be fighting at MW? GGG and Pirog? Wouldnt those count as a Euro tour too?

    Murray did win the fight in the eyes of many but there is a reason he had surgery after that fight, he was hurt fighting Murray!

    I guess you didn't notice those things.

    I think DiBella also mentioned that he broke or hurt his hand in the Barker fight. There is YT video on it. His injuries were his downfall, specifically the knee.

    Boxing is a physical game. It just so happens that a weakened part will weaken the boxer's performance.

    His 12th rd KD during the Chavez fight. He fell down badly that his knee twisted.

    I think that was it.

    He was having issues with the likes of Macklin and Barker, that's when it started. The Chavez fight really took a lot from him, and it has gone completely downhill ever since.
