Martinez: I thought it was an even fight that could go either way.

My hat's off to Martinez. He's being very fair and not crying about the results like alot of grown men do and not making excuses about anything when he actually should. He lets his fists do the talking. That's old school for you right there.

 

I thought PW won but it was a fight that could've gone either way. If someone thinks Martinez got robbed in any fight its......here it comes................Cintron/Martinez.

 

One of the judges had it 119-110 for PW or something of the sort.

Curruption no doubt. Even though like he said it was a fight that could have gone either way, there was no way it was going his way.

I had him winning by 1 point only. Agree that with fair judges, it could have gone either way

actually he was only robbed by 1 of the judges. If that judge was not corrupt it could have been a draw or a loss.

 

Yea my thoughts are the same. Martinez was landing some clean shots, probably even the harder shots, but Williams was landing more and being more consistent. I gave it to Williams, but a draw was not out of the question. I would like to see a better prepared Martinez with Williams in the rematch. I like both fighters, but Martinez right now is good enough to be the best 154lber in the world if he really pushes himself. If he beats Pavlik, he might even be the best 160lber if he can pull that one off which he can.

 

yea, but he didn't have it 115-113. He had it 119-110. Therefore its a robbery.

 

Agreed. Martinez better take lessons from Hopkins on ghostbusting."Who ya gonna call?"

 

Martinez is definately a good fighter and obviously someone very easy to root for.

I like him more and more everytime i listen to him in interviews. Doesnt ***** and just comes to fight.

I gave the fight to MArtinez. But no way in hell he woulda won that even with a TKO as has even happened to him before. He was there to lose.

 

Everyone seems to forget that Williams was preparing for the abominable snowman, for two training camps, and had to switch up last minute to train for Martinez.


If anything, Williams has a bigger possible upside in a rematch. He could have fought a lot better in the rematch. Martinez, in my opinion fiought about as well as he has ever fought.

 

correct. But 1 judge can make the whole difference especially since 1 of the other judges had it a draw.

 

come on Martinez CLEARLY won that fight, even being generous to Williams you can only go 115-113 Martinez. Read any Martinez interview he always praises the "other" guy, its not in his character to trash talk but I'm sure he knows he won that fight.
