    The 88 Nunn stops Martinez. Just a much better fighter.

    Martinez had talent but no skill. Nunn had MORE talent, and farrrrrrrrr more skill.

    I feel the same. This looks like a fluke knockout to me for some reason. When styles look a little similar, the flukes come out since the faster guy usually ends up dominating.

    Bump.
    I don't think it's fair to say that Martinez had no skills. He was skillful in his own unorthodox ways, especially as a counter puncher. This would have been a very entertaining and skillful fight between 2 athletic southpaws, but I'll have to lean towards the taller, quicker Nunn who was very hard to beat at his best.

    Maravilla would come in a distant second to Second to Nunn.
