How can anybody hate on Martinez. People always find dumb excuses to discredit a fighter. Specially after a big win.
Proof that he's getting faster and stronger? I've seen his fights since Bunema and he doesn't seem faster than back in the Bunema fight. Only fight before that is the Margarito fight that i've seen. And that fight was just a few years after he first started boxing. What other fights are there that show's he is getting faster and stronger?
Who was upset? Haven't seen any legit complaints on the size. And no, Martinezisn't dirty....horrible failure of a thread.
Dzin was forced fed to Martinez. If I remember correctly, that was not the original match up for Martinez. HBO balked and said Dzin or nothing for Martinez. That being said, no different at 154. The problem was the Dzin is a limited technical fighter. He has the basic down but to be able to adjust and offer new things to control Martinez is something he does not have. Once MArtinez was jabbing his eyeballs off, he had no plan B. He did connect some power punches but it was not enough. Before the KO, Dzin was connecting and Martinez went back to heavy jabbing and countering.
Sergio had proven himself as an elite, alright! It doesn't follow, however, that he can kill both Pac and Floyd, both of whom have proven themselves as elite fighters way earlier than Sergio did! Floyd and Pac are much better than Sergio and will surely beat him at appropriate weight.
