Sergio was a beast but those knees were catching up to him, I wish he got more fame when he was younger this man was really great much respect ✊🏽 from this Mexican American

[@Inkochan03]

Meeting this sergio is one of my bucket list. Truly inspiring.

[@Inkochan03]

Lucky!

[@bobmaurey]

CRACKKKK , IDOLOO SOS UN ORGULLO PARA TODA ARGENTINA. MUCHOS EXITOS!!!

[@rdcvgr88]

Sergio came up the hard way! He turned pro at 23 yrs and with no famous promotion company and to big names helping him. You see Khan, Broner, and Canelo being hyped up! and you have De La Hoya and others hyping their name, well Sergio didn't have that luxury and for him to start boxing late and turn out to be the best Middleweight in the world? and to be the REAL WBC champion? that's what i call a REAL ATHLETE with real skills! Heart! and perseverance! and daily motivation!...this is a real MAN!

[@showtime3314]

Sergio Martinez was a great fighter, one of the best ever

[@TheIkaraCult]

Sergio and Paul are inspirational people

[@paul4mula]

man, this guy is awesome, boxing has a bright star, Sergio Maravilla Martinez

[@theotherhalfoftheang]

Soy mexicano pero este es mi boxeador favorito despues de sugar ray leonard, es una inspiracion para mi.

[@scientiaaclabore3362]

Great man, much love and respect to him. A true inspiration.

[@Ludomedicen]

4:41 "Cuando peleo peleo para Argentina" Es una lastima que a Maravilla no lo podamos ver aqui en Argentina por television, ni siquiera en PPV.

[@harishkumaran7986]

Why not?

[@papi1870]

oh que grandes palabras amigo. No se de donde eres pero tampoco importa de donde es sergio lo importante es que es un ejemplo y une al pueblo latino que somos uno solo. Ojala tuvieramos mas ejemplos como martinez.

[@MrKarlozz]

I lol'd when I heard Max Kellerman saying: "What a savage exchange..." lol

[@santa9325]

soy mexicano y sergio martinez es buenoo ay q reconoserlo me gusta mucho su forma de pelear *_*

[@veraxa1]

mis respetos para este grande es un boxeador muy completo martinez saludos desde mexico

UNO D LOS MEJORES BOXEADORES HOY EN DIA

[@TribalSolider]

Great Post Couldn't Agree More.

[@frankoooo7]

orgullo argentino! VAMOS MARAVILLAA!

[@StephenBoBeffin]

Nice! Good job HBO.

[@theotherhalfoftheang]

Olvidense de que si es argentino o lo que sea, todos los hispanos deberiamos ser unidos con nuestros atletas, especialmente como a este x ke es un virtuoso del boxeo pero x ke el publico argentino es pequeño en comparacion con el mexicano, apoyemoslo x ke el representa a la gente de abajo que da el todo x estar arriba, todos los que lean este mensaje saben a lo que me refiero y es nos une sin importar de donde venimos..

[@matute10cs]

Grande campeon sus una maravilla, gracias por ser Argentino !

[@mannymen31]

An amazing fighter

[@theotherhalfoftheang]

Eso si es una gran verdad, los boxeadores mexicanos son muy cotizados cuando son buenos o mas o menos buenos, si maravilla hubiera sido mexicano tendria la bolsa mas grande en PPV, desgraciadamente el deporte lo rigen los negiciantes ahora :-(

[@dltguitar6532]

Sergio should get in the hall of fame first ballot

[@pabloamendola9824]

Sergio you are great guy and great warrior!

[@mxo15]

HBO podria hacer una pelicula de Maravilla!!

[@galvenze31]

NO ES MAS MARAVILLA MARTINEZ, AHORA ES EL GLADIADOR MARTINEZ, AGUANTE ARGENTINA CARAJO.

[@raymonthekid]

¡Bien dicho!

[@ROZILLArozil]

cant wait for tonight

[@Drizzydid]

Why doesn't hbo ever upload the full videos...I saw a 10 minute version of this..and I wouldn't have cut anything out...xD

[@aSess1No]

que grande eres sergio.

[@RgZspotA]

This guy is all raw power.

[@DiegoVT91]

I agree with you and I'm from Mexico!

[@BorgesProduction]

Respect...

[@rdcvgr88]

Same for me! Trust me, i wanna go pro as well, but I also have other goals incase boxing doesn't work out!

[@FCB1068]

dont forget that martinez started fighting late so he is very fresh and doesnt have a lot of miles on his clock. Unlike most boxers who have been fighting since they were teenagers

[@roberttaylor2624]

most champs start at 9 or 10 and younger I am 17 he proves you can still become champ

[@toprightchannel3080]

How is the boxing going Donald Trump ?

[@team3gaming749]

Robert Taylor Im 17 as well. I would love to start soon as well. Im hoping by the time im 18 I can start.

[@osamabad3597]

In the thumbnail of the video, Sergio looks like Jack from Will and Grace

[@javiermartinez-py2yd]

theotherhalfoftheang :me alegro por lo que dijiste.eso es lo que es.buena tu virtud.

[@leonemesis87]

We need a movie about this man!! If you understand spanish, please look for a very detailed interview here in you tube: ''MARAVILLA MARTINEZ - ANIMALES SUELTOS''.. there, he tells about everything in his life..how poor he was in Argentina and Spain..at the point he had to ask for food in charity.. or to work in five different jobs at the same time to be able to pay only the rent..how he got robbed when he fought Margarito..and a lot more. It's really a very sad, tearful and emotive life story..

[@mulatomboxe]

@ITRboxing you don't know ? lol i'm sure you have a little idea on it am I wrong?

[@VictorPak]

Please someone make a movie about Martinez

[@roberttaylor2624]

yep so true

[@titagu]

gran boxeador, yo ya le pegue pero pues ahora creo que si me da una paliza.

[@i3varela]

4:10 min AMAZING!!!!

[@rdcvgr88]

Yea bro! La Maravilla Martinez is going down in History, and if he KO's Chavez Jr then he's def a Future Hall of Famer!

[@yeon723]

If this clip moved you, remember that someone right now is hungry, and you could do something to help.

[@miguestanck]

pero es latino, ponete orgulloso! saludos mexico!

[@williamsiller80]

@begarodriguez es al reves si hubiera llegado a esta instancia con menor edad menos le quisieran pelear no.

[@rotary980]

Chaves Jr = paper champion

[@040yeah]

totally agree with you, these guys Khan Broner and all those bums, they get more recognition than the one that has been dominating the whole middleweight division, and he definetely deserves more money than he is making right now, he is #2 P4P in the world in my opinion after Floyd ofcourse

[@Inkochan03]

If you want a preview of martinez vs cotto. Watch pacquiao vs cotto. This is sergio's biggest fight. Don't let his age fool you. I love cotto but I have huge doubts about middleweight. I hated how cotto took this dangerous fight. Shouldve went for canelo, not someone who might retire him.

[@shadowking465]

maybe you are right.

[@RedJay326]

boo lala Two years later and Cotto defeated him dominant fashion. Cotto surprised a lot of people

[@Inkochan03]

yeah true, but I underestimated both sergio's injury and cotto's improvement. Makes sense too because Cotto had pacquiao's coach to counter that blueprint.

[@ultimo30000000]

4:10 music stops KO :D

[@2510cp]

Him and Andre Ward need to Collide!!

[@alfredojosecagninozamora8358]

que ko le dio a williams lo puso a dormir

[@fireman1521]

I am convinced Sergio is the best fighter right now and Fraudweather knows it. Fraud is willing to fight Cotto at 154 but wants Sergio weight drained at 150, yet he criticizes Pacman for beating a 147 drained Cotto. You can't blame him, I wouldn't want to be knocked out either haha!

[@cristianofernandez7404]

I am 21 and I just started to train for boxing. Is it late for me ?? I really want to be somebody man.

[@papagrande7448]

Not if you put in crazy amounts of work. Quitting can't be an option for you. You haven't had the long experience but you can overcome that with dedication. I'll leave you with this. Sergio Martinez didn't start boxing til he was 20, World Champion. Tevin Farmer didn't start until he was 19 now 24 and one of the slickest fighters currently. Jon Jones started his mma career at 19 became the youngest world champion at 21. Mark Hunt started during his mid 20's and started fighting when he was 25. Also beating seemingly unbeatable Wanderlei silva early in his career. Simon Marcus had only been training 7 years before he became a champion. Canelo didn't start until he was 13. Bernard didn't start late, but he was a fucking fossil and still kicking ass. Henry Cejudo skipped college and went straight to the Olympics to win gold. Etc etc. All these are fine examples, but really it's what you're capable of. And if you have that Supreme belief in yourself, willingness to learn, and willing to put in endless amounts of work you can always be something. Any L you take can't be viewed as a loss. You either win or learn and adapt. I hope you find success sir.

[@cristianofernandez7404]

Papa Grande Wow that really helped man, I Truly appreciate that.

[@mr.t658]

i started at 15

[@deumevet]

trata de ponerte metas realistas, paso a paso, intenta primero ser campeon nacional en tu pais, una vez tengas eso piensa en algo mas. y asi sucesivamente,

[@andresmorales9080]

That song gets me sad when that guy said he starved /:

[@ordernew6196]

Tell em about it. He went to work in Spain as a gym instructor and waiter I believe and yes was living on empty. Imagine that? Just to become a champion. Our champion who never ducked anyone, never holds in his fights even when in trouble and is a nice guy when the boxing is not taking place. That is a real inspirational story. You will never be able to say this about Golovkin or Pirog.

[@NortenasConSaxOFFICIAL]

im mexican but this guy is bad ass,better than jcc.hope he gets a shot at the may vs cotto winner .and his a bad ass in person the time i meet him.

[@sebblunt]

Mayweather vs Martinez at 154 pounds would be a great fight. Mayweather should go to 154 he did it against De La Hoya and not make Martinez drop to 150, although Martinez said he would do that in previous interviews, i doubt you would see the same Sergio Martinez and the fight wouldn't be as compelling.

[@dapperdonmilli]

This dude is a Beast!! But he need to stop fighting against tomato cans

[@truBoxingfan]

@fireman1521 Actually Martinez volunteered to fight at 150 learn your facts first and I believe we could see a fight in 2013

[@tntsugarherbosa]

more boxing technique in 5 square ft than in the rest of the world

[@adriansantacruz2474]

WTF?? in the min 1:25 that is the GYM romanza of nacho beristain

[@MiltonEnrique32]

@frost310 yes, but mayweather wants to fight him at 150 pounds

[@tataso]

MARTINEZ THE BEST BOXER !!

[@tijuanacerca]

about the shoulder that was just and scuse !!! the rematch he did run preatty well from Jose the lastround Gaywahter its a paper champion from USA hey they run the sport they need a celebrity too !!!!!!

[@freezysworld]

I wonder who disliked it !!!!

[@drumboy17h]

in my opinion if given the chance he could be the p4p king

[@sergiod1981]

va por tyc sports.

[@theotherhalfoftheang]

Martinez even told that in a fight with mayweaher he only gets 20% and floyd 80%.

[@the1beni]

KONY 2012

[@Leandro2323100]

el mejor RIVER PLATE

[@begarodriguez]

Una lastima que no llegaras a esta instancia con menor edad asi los que te deberian buscar serian ellos,,,Chavez,Pacquiao y Mayweather...son la historia de como te toca la vida...con la barita o con un palo com espinas ¿no?

[@frank198210]

He basically scared evryone off with that KO... Hes been beating evryone with a KO or a Tko.. You knock people out at people get scared.. Hes the Iron Mike Tyson at 154

[@BigoeWekzer]

Canelo vs broner anyone??

[@JMMP4P]

Martinez solo tiene un defecto como Boxeador y es que no es Mexicano :(

[@tekodandy]

MARTINEZ ROCKS , FIREPOWER ARGENTINE

[@dapperdonmilli]

It's time to fight Ward or move up then go k.o bute in Canada

[@eduardobrutus3420]

if manny pacquiao just had controversial win and a controversial lose and floyd mayweather is in jail why cant sergio martinez be pound for pound #1

[@FloridaRaised239]

Canelo vs Broner!??? They're nowhere near the same weight class

[@granfanucci]

@americacampeonful I would like to know why you're "not very fond of argentinians". I really do. If the answer is maradona (no kidding, I get this answer all the time) I can tell you that this is just one man and I can mention you many other famous argies (like martinez) who are the opposite. My question is serious. I would like to know (if you speak spanish it would be so much better because as you can probably tell my english is far from excelent) cheers

[@bhym1]

Canelo would get beaten to the punch all night and then knocked out late maybe round 11 or 12. Martinez is #3 p4p.

[@blackchang1981]

Happy 39th birthday! ....and on June 7 2014 congratulations on your win over Miguel Cotto and all the non-believers that think your wash up.

[@pauldiesel8001]

he lost cotto was too old cotto wouldn't of stood a chance in 2010

[@nujak125]

En serio? Gracias a Dios, no me voy a tener que fumar a esos relatores, no tengo nada en contra de México, pero los relatores son INSOPORTABLES!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bhym1]

I'm not doubting Canelo's potential, but at this moment in time, Sergio would annihilate him with his speed, power and awkward style. Canelo hasn't fought a proven opponent and is about to fight an old Mosely. Canelo isn't on Martinez's level.

[@dapperdonmilli]

pacquiao & Floyd want no parts of sergio let's not even mention Chavez Jr

[@ObieG93]

Great fighter no doubt but Cotto will win

[@Writeowl]

Can't see it. Will be a tough fight, though.

[@DrPlans]

easy as hell

[@Isalom1219]

Dr. Plans lol

[@str8rite1]

bute vs martinez

[@crewfoos]

Oh yeah mayweather totally got beat up he still won the fight with a shoulder injury. Then he had an automatic rematch and beat him again and that time more decisively.

[@codeman95291]

gayweather will never fight martinez because martinez has to good of a chance of beating him and sergio martinez would be a really hard fight for floyd because he's bigger and stronger then floyd is and he's a southpaw and mayweather doesn't fight good against southpaws that's why he won't fight pacquiao too but he'd rather fight martinez then pacquiao because martinez doesn't throw as many punches as pacquiao does mayweather would get out worked by pacquiao

[@tataso]

MARTINEZ va a destrozar a Chavez jr y luego a Mayweather , vamos argentina carajo !!

[@jordandavies2588]

Martinez deserves to be P4P #2. Mayweather deserves to be #1 but Pacquiao is #3 because he is on borrowed time. When Pacquiao retires Andre Ward should be #3 in the rankings because he is the next big thing in Boxing after Mayweather. Sergio also deserves a massive payday ! Anybody know how much money he will receive for the Chavez Jr fight ?

[@nujak125]

Como que no? si yo vi todas las peleas de Sergio, la pasaron por Space, TyC y la pelea con Chavez Jr, la transmite el canal Golden, una CAGADA porque es un canal mexicano y los relatores son INSOPORTABLES!!!!! Siempre resaltan las cosas de los boxeadores mejicanos y a Chavez Jr. lo alaban como si fuese una LEYENDA DEL BOXEO. Ojala que también lo transmita TyC así no tengo que escucharlos a esos INFUMABLES!!!!! jajaja

[@Writeowl]

No, but still in a wheelchair, I believe

[@codeman95291]

if pacquiao is so easy to beat and he's a 1 demensional brawler that fights at catchweights then why is gayweather so scared of him? gayweather can't defend against left hands look how many jabs a slow cotto hit him with lol pacquiao is way faster then cotto and mayweathers shoulder roll defense doesn't work against defending against left hand punches so if he fought pacquiao who is a southpaw his shoulder roll wouldn't work again pacquiaos left hands lol you need to get your facts straight

[@JABRAMIREZ18]

ur fuking trippin , sergio likes to get hit , canelo dodges his punches and counters on sergio, and canelo is by far a heavyer puncher , he will distroy sergio in 8 or 9 rounds
