Margarito beat Sergio Martinez, can anybody tell me how this happened?

Wrong again, Margarito had a different trainer back then

 

If you can't see that Martinez would brutally beat Margarito right now and if you can't see that Arum wouldn't stick Margarito in there with him you're ******ed. Martinez started boxing at 20.

 

The reason he lost is because he was less experience AND because Martinez takes breaks during fights. I thought he was gonna be KO'd vs Williams, but Williams doesn't punch hard enough and sometimes shoeshines. Margarito body punched him and punched with bad intentions, Martinez was getting tired and it was over. Margarito is a very good fighter and people underrate him cause he lost to Pac now and got ktfo by Mosley. Sure he's diminshed now, but that's not the point, they say, he was always a bum. Which is pure bull****, the guy has had a very good career, he's not even close to being a bum. But that's ESB for ya.

 

:good

 

@ the still of martinez leaning like that.


What is interesting is there isnt that much difference in handspeed where as today there is a huge difference. Martinez there is still alot faster with the body movement but Margo had no problem at all getting to him. Martinez was only slight faster handspeed wise which was surprising.

 

Basically. All of a sudden, it seems posters here feel Martinez is unbeatable. Today, I agree it's a mismatch. Martinez just emerged on the world class level, so he's fresh as opposed to Margarito who has been on the scene for years now.

 

You think it was because he had little boxing experience at the time, so it took him a few years to become fluid and have good timing?:think

Remember Martinez fights with his hands down back then, and still does, he is open for all kinds of punches if you time him.

 

martinez would go to jail for murder if they ever fight
