This is the fighter that got me into the sport that changed my life. His career reminds me of the archetypal Greek tragedies. Worked his ass off to get to the top and when it seemed as though everything was going against him (Margarito, Cintron,Williams 1) he said fuck it, and decided to take his destiny into his own hands (Pavlik, Williams 2) like a true champion. His reign after that was marvelous but short-lived (Dzinziruk, Barker, Macklin). Seeing one of his best performances (Chavez Jr) only to be followed with an uneasy display which seemed to foreshadow his demise (Murray). It seems rather ironic that the fight in which he finally got his big payday and the exposure he deserved would end up as his swan song (Cotto). Nevertheless, it was a good ride. And I enjoyed every moment of it. Adios, Maravilla.
I would've been really disappointed if this wasn't Mr.X's edit. Best damn Maravilla highlight reel out there.
Amazing fighter, boxer, and man inside or outside the ring. He'll be missed.
But what if.....
What if his knee didn't fail, what if he was able to beat Cotto, what if he got the opportunity to face Canelo, what if he faced GGG? His body gave out before his heart and spirit, a true legend.
Never has there been such a confluence of arrogance, sportsmanship and sexiness in one man.
Sick man, great tribute
What a great fighter, sad to see his career end but its clear that he was one of the most exciting fighters in a while
Damn Sergio. You move so quick & unorthodox and you pack a punch. Hell of a fighter.
Great vid. A damn shame Martinez spent so many years in obscurity.
Pretty awesome sync in there too:
"why you staring so hard this way" (Williams does the dead-eye stare at the mat)
"I'm a fresh prince" (Martinez dons the crown) -
Man, that knee just imploded - what was the formal diagnosis?
