It's fight night!
We hope that you'll join us for our live coverage of tonight's WBC middleweight championship fight between the champion Sergio Martinez and the challenger Martin Murray live from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Martinez (50-2-2, 28 KO) is considered one of the sport's top pound-for-pound fighters and enters the ring off a dominant victory over his rival Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in September. In that fight he recaptured the WBC title and established himself as the undisputed top dog at 160-pounds.
He is a slick, southpaw boxer with good power who uses his movement to frustrate opponents and create opportunities to counter.
Martin Murray (25-0-1, 11 KO) enters the ring hoping to play the spoiler for the champion's homecoming. He is little known outside his native United Kingdom and has yet to face an opponent of Martinez's pedigree.
Up to this point his most impressive performance came in a 2011 draw against then WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm in Germany.
He will need to bring his game an entirely new level if he hopes to score what could only be considered a massive upset.
Stay tuned to us tonight here at Bleacher Report for all your live round-by-round scoring, results and analysis!
