Maybe he read this. I noticed he came out at first with his guard uncharacteristically high. His right elbow did a good job at protecting himself from the hook to the body. He impressed me with his infighting savvy, it makes it even better that he was able to hold his own in there for moments against an infighter.

There was a round where he put on a jabbing exhibition. Now I understand why bball said it's his best punch.

I saw the hook over the jab in the mid rounds.

He couldn't be stopped with that str8 to the body though. Sometimes Julio Jr would outright backoff for awhile due to the pain of the shot. It was brilliant at breaking Julio Jr's momentum.

The ultra high and tight guard seems to be great at protecting against str8s. Cotto(e) used it against Floyd. Sexy Sergio wasn't able to hit Julio Jr with the left to the face cleanly as much as I thought he would have.

This is my favorite Sexy Sergio fight so far. He showed nearly as much versatility as Floyd and Ward although not as polished.

Mayweather and Ward have every page of the textbook in their arsenal.

Sergio Martinez I would argue, has the imagination to even the playing field.
