    What's in a number? In boxing a lot, and reaching 50 victories is a bit special since it requires a long career or a very early start - in Martinez' case it's the former. He only picked up boxing at 20 and turned pro at 22 fifteen years ago, which is longer than most careers. To pull his 50th win off on the biggest stage and maiden PPV, that **** is special!

    Other numbers stand out too. In his last 6 fights his opponents had a combined record of 209-5 including 3 undefeated fighters (106-0), fought 3 champions, 2 P4P-ers, 4 of them being significantly taller, 2 being a cruiserweight on fight night. He also has the most consecutive defenses of the Lineal Middleweight Championship since Hopkins with 5, 4 of them by stoppage.

    I guess these are just numbers, but some impressive stuff there, so once again, congratulations Martinez for your 50th victory, you earned it like a true champion!

    CRAZY to think it's his maiden PPV!

    Lots of respect for Martinez, he's always in great fights, got huge heart, a real credit to the sport.

    Winding his arm in a bolo, taunting Julio before a round telling him to get off his stool, getting the crowd going after winning a round big, fighting with his hands down against an opponent who outweighed him by 15 lbs and fighting back after being dropped in the final round and winning the exchanges
