    i'm not questioning your fight knowledge but you sound dumb as shit saying this lol
    you judge 1 fight and sum a fighter up?
    its a 154 pounder fighting at 160
    hes got to counterpunch and set traps to be effective at middleweight.
    check his paul williams fight (first) or his other bouts at 154 to see how he fights when aggressive
    the hands down shit is all for setting traps for bigger fighters

    the only criticism you could get away with is saying he doesnt use enough different punches
    i think style wise hes a nightmare for floyd
    hes a south paw that throws at angles, has great counterpunching and hand speed.
    it'd be like if u took pacman marquez and supersized him

    ...this lil nigga thinks that I've only seen one Martinez fight. Oh, the irony. Carry on smart/dumb nigga

    then you wouldn't have said that dumb shit, judging a smaller fighter moving up based on how they fight at a higher weight as opposed to their normal output

    ...a fighter who fights with his fuckin hands down is going to beat Mayweather?



    ...smart/dumb nigga, please continue to entertain us with your confident ignorance.

Debuting SATURDAY, MAY 12 (midnight-12:30 a.m. ET/PT), and scheduled to appear periodically, THE FIGHT GAME WITH JIM LAMPLEY will be a provocative, engaging and informative experience that delves into intriguing storylines, newsmakers and issues that are top-of-mind in boxing. The series will also be available on HBO On Demand® and HBO GO®.

We look forward to launching this new program in a unique and stylish way.”

    “I’m excited for all of us boxing fans to have this new platform for comprehensive, unfiltered discussion and analysis of the sport,” said Lampley. “And I am thrilled to work at the only television network capable of this type of program.”

    In addition to the resources of the HBO Sports department, the production team for the series will include renowned filmmaker and Emmy® nominee Peter Berg, who will serve as an executive producer along with Sarah Aubrey, Michael Price, Lampley and Bernstein. Jonathan Crystal will be the producer.

Lampley also served as an executive producer of the Peter Berg cinema vérité series, “On Freddie Roach,” which completed its critically acclaimed run in February on HBO.

    oh so martinez has his hands down for entire fights now.
    he doesn't put his hands down against slower people to draw them into punching so he can counter.
    in your tv all you see is martinez. hands down. the whole fight.
    gotcha, you don't watch boxing, just highlights

    I like Sergio but dude was struggling with Barker and Macklin..... he was getting hit by Williams and Pavlik he aint beating Floyd. He is a hispanic trying to emulate Roy Jones style. Add in Margarito stopped him years ago.

    I feel u and Ive argued in the past about why folk only act like he cheated vs Cotto.... Cintron was undefeated until facing him as well as Martinez, and Williams beat him with plaster..... Hell be punched a niggas ear off.... with that said Martinez with his athleticism should not get hit by these brawling slass ass dudes... he doesnt use his jab either.

    barker and macklin are legit 160 lbers though
    at 154 he got touched yeah but knew how to press and counter
    i think his size coupled with his hand speed and angles gives floyd problems
    but if he goes down to 154 with the habits of 160 he'll lose
    you can't rely on a perfect counter all the time

    no they are not they are top guys now cuz all the top guys at 160 a couple years ago moved up (Abe/Miranda/Taylor/) 160 is mediocre those guys are not good fighters. 160 is a wasteland of white rockem sockem fighters lol... THINK ABOUT IT FOR REAL who are the top guys at 160 Andy Lee? John Duddy?Chavez Jr Zbik?,Pirog? Sturm? none of these guys just sayin. Also id sergio wont go up 8 lbs to where the challenges are in Dirrell brothers, Ward who has called him out on twitter, Froch Bute?

    yea 160 is ass but Sergio said he cant make 168, he gotta eat steak and potatoes to get to 160, and he always under 160 on fight night so I think he could Cotto and some others @ 154

  • R.D.R.D. Posts: 8,900
    Martinez has been purposely coming in under 160. He walks around over 160. They tryna get people to stop trying to make him go up like he want Floyd and Manny do

    catch feelings much? But anyway, no one said he fights the ENTIRE fight with his hands down, but that's a strategy that he usually uses.
