    Sergio Martinez is from the city of Quilmes, located roughly 11 miles south of Buenos Aires on the River Plate Coast. The city dates back to 1665. Quilmes (also spelled and referred to as “Kilmes”).

    The Quilmes people were an [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas"]indigenous tribe[/ame] of the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaguita"]Diaguita[/ame] group settled in the western [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andes"]subandean[/ame] valleys of today’s Tucumán province, in northwestern [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina"]Argentina[/ame]. They fiercely resisted the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inca"]Inca[/ame] invasions of the 15th century, and continued to resist the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain"]Spaniards[/ame] for 130 years, until being defeated in 1667. Spanish invaders relocated the last 2,000 survivors to a reservation ("reducción") 20 km south of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenos_Aires"]Buenos Aires[/ame]. This 1,500 km journey was made by foot, causing hundreds of Quilmes to die in the process. By 1810, the reservation was abandoned as a result of its having become a ghost town. The survivors ultimately settled in what is now the city of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quilmes"]Quilmes[/ame]. The Quilmes Indians were one of the fiercest cultures which resisted the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inca"]Incas[/ame] but eventually fell to the Spaniards. Today, there are only a few Quilmes left in Tucumán Province. Some 200 families survived the 745.6 mile trek to what would be called the Reducción de la Santa Cruz de los Indios Quilmes (Quilmes Indians Holy Cross Reservation) in 1666. By 1810, the settlement was abandoned; the land sold off and, in 1812, the city of Quilmes was born. The city celebrates its anniversary on August 14, the day the reservation was closed and the town was established. They celebrate that day because the precise arrival date of the first Kilmes Indian settlers is not known.

    Now this guy always plays the Cholo on T.V but to me he also has some European looks . A lot of factors can contribute to cholo (Mestizo) features including how much and of what type of Indian ancestry. Larger teeth, robust bones, and skull shape are of often used by Archaeologist to distinguish Indians from Europeans.

    Martinez is clearly the most European looking of the three.

    It's a irrelevant in any event. Sergio himself said he is not Ameri-Indian.

    Case closed.

    Of course he looks more European than a full blooded Tarahumara Indian :roll:but he looks a lot like the actor above who always plays the mestizo

    Martinez is slick, he got that slick african-american style, so to me he's black. He's a light-skinned black latino african-american fighter and he should be proud of it.

    He is not MEXICAN, get that in your head. He is Argentinian. The fact that most mexicans are mixed native americans has a bsolutely no bearing on the population of Argentina...

    I believe Sergio is Vietnamese on his mother's brothers side twice removed and Polish-Australian/ Inuit Eskimo-Mandingo on his mothers side.

    Well, that's the rumor....
