Mexico City /
Six years of inactivity seem to weigh very little on the boxer’s body Sergio “Maravilla” Martínez. At age 45, the Argentine officially returned to boxing with a triumph by way of the TKO against the Asturian Miguel Fandiño at the Malecón stadium in Torrelavega, Spain.
The return was a bit discreet, without those functions in Las Vegas, which will return until 2021, he also did not have a high-ranking rival. Everything was framed in the austerity of its own promoter and in the need to reverse the image loser who gave to the world in front of Miguel Cotto at the legendary Madison Square Garden, New York, in 2014.
Tinín Rodríguez, his new coach, prepared Martínez in the best way, who left no doubts about his hierarchy or the boxing differences that separate him from Fandiño, a hard-working 36-year-old tester chosen for his party.
During the seven rounds that the combat lasted, the former super welterweight world monarch and middleweight of the WBC was willing to impose conditions loading the pressure of being the main protagonist of the fight. That was how in the seventh period, with excellent work combined to the body, he achieved the KO.
With a record with 52 hits (29 KO), three setbacks and two draws, Maravilla Martínez was seduced by the game of recovering the transcendence and the aura of champion that he had between 2010 and 2014, when he beat important boxers, such as Kelly Pavlik, Paul Williams, Serhiy Dzinziruk, Darren Barker, Matthew Macklin and Julio César Chávez.
