The triumphant return of Sergio “Wonderful” Martínez At age 45, he generated both praise for his knockout and criticism of his level and the role of the rival. The Quilmeño defeated José Miguel Fandiño in Torrelavega, Spain. One of those who questioned him was the boxing journalist, Horacio Pagani, who denounced: “Fandiño threw himself.”

Martínez, still in Spain, answered him during a live with Leo Benatar, a long-standing boxing journalist. Upon learning the boxer exclaimed: “Stop fucking, Pagani! Such nonsense, what asshole, dear Horacio, no. I can’t tolerate that kind of shit, uh, I won’t bank it. You know what hand I put on his plexus, poor Fandiño … ”.

And he continued: “Do you think he threw himself? What an asshole, stop breaking your balls, Pagani. You are a big man. Come on, boludo. You make me warm up. But hey, as a friend says, stupidity does not go hand in hand with intelligence, they can both be quietly. Such bullshit, no. In the sixth he already had him cornered with blows, the consecutive blows. A previous blow to the plexus hurt him … ”.

As a result of this, Martínez revealed his strategy: “Little by little you cool it down and you put it to sleep. Riquelmeás, you do the great Riquelme. You step on the ball, that’s what I wanted to do in combat. I’m not going to rush, why, if Fandiño is not fast, I wanted to turn it off little by little. The idea was to disconnect its alert buttons. The most important thing for me was the distance and at times I was able to connect from there ”.

Maravilla Martínez wanted to prove to himself that he could return. He chose a day laborer and beat him with a common blow at 7. That’s it, he did well. But reality shows it as a caricature of what it was. It cannot be taken seriously. It was my own taste.

In the talk, the boxer confessed that he will fight in late November or early December, also in Spain, although it will depend on the pandemic, he clarified. “The idea is to improve performance and raise the demands of the rival. At first it is a rival from outside. We are talking to an Italian, we are looking for someone who has a good record. We are still analyzing three or four more options. There was talk of a Mexican, of one of Canelo’s brothers, but he hasn’t fought for a long time and he doesn’t add up ”.
