    even in the rounds he clearly won, they were slating him, there obviously on the arum pay roll. i had martinez winning the fight by a wide margin.

    For good reason, he looked like ****. He looked way slower and weaker than he ever has. I think his age has finally caught up with him.

    They were on his ass like back pockets, it was ridiculous. Its like they're still sour that Chavez jr didnt win and they are still stuck with Sergio. Murray didnt do enough to win, besides that would have been a weak ass way to lose the lineal championship.

    You can't blame them, he looked so bad. I doubt Arum has anything to do with it.

    You thought Sexy won rounds 4,5,6,8.9 and 10?, If Martinez did win it wasn't comfortably like you think.

    Time and injuries caught up to him. He didn't live up to their expectations against Murray at all. You've had Kellerman calling him a "super fighter" in the past and Lampley rating him top 3-5 pound-for-pound, so naturally they're going to be disappointed when he's losing a bunch of rounds and getting knocked down by a relative unknown like Martin Murray.

    he definitely won 4 and 5, round 9 was close and could have gone either way the rest were murray rounds.

    Why the hell would they be for him? He didn't look good and robbed Murray.

    DiBella says Martinez broke his left hand on the second round and should get surgery on his knee again... wasn't cut as usual... fat around his belly...

    The guy is not at his best...

    I had Martinez losing that fight. I think he lost almost every round from 7 on and lost a couple early rounds too. add the knockdown, Martinez got worked

    An underated, talented fighter got to Martinez. Murray should have got the nod
