On Saturday night in front of a screaming throng of Argentinians, Sergio Martinez defended his lineal middleweight title against Britain's Martin Murray.
It was a massive event on HBO in Martinez's home country. The outcome of the fight was as expected, with Martinez claiming victory in a decision. However, the fight was filled with much more drama and excitement than many had anticipated. Instead of cruising to victory against an unknown and overmatched challenger, Martinez had to dig deep, pull himself off the canvas and take the championship rounds to pull out the win.
Let's examine the fight and the outcome a bit closer.
