Just been looking at the betting and the odds on a Martinez decision are very tempting (3.5) . Just thought I'd try and get some esb opinions.
I'm a little worried about Sergio's mobility, since he had knee surgery 5 months ago to repair a torn meniscus and he's not that young anymore. But Murray is such a stationary target, I'm putting some on the under anyway.
I think decision; it might end up like the Macklin fight and he gets a TKO after some rounds have passed.
I literally didn't bet on a KO, so.... Most likely a decision. As KC said, Maravilla is now injury-prone & getting old.
Martinez is going to need Argentina home field advantage tommorow night. (He will be in over his head)
KO10 I reckon. Murray is a hard ******* but flat-footed all to hell so Sergio should be able to pick him off at range and put him away by accumulation, dodgy knee or not.
He stops Murray. He's fighting a Brit in his homecountry Argentina. The crowd will demand a KO or they will end up storming the ring to deliver the KO themselves.
Correct The anti british rhetoric the argentina government has been ramping up in the country over the Falkland Islands being one example :rofl:hi::nut
Murray was hurt by Felix Sturm in the last round. So Martinez at his best should be able to put him down.
Murray will be the easiest of the Brits for Sergio. Constantly moves forward and attacks with both hands so he's open. Mid to late round stoppage.
