There's a difference between being "shot" and injured. Martinez came into the fight with no injuries, because they were repaired. That is a fact. He may not be the same fighter because nobody gets injured and get the strength of that injured part back 100%. Martinez is a true fighter for making no excuses whatsoever, unlike so many others, to the point that his fans will make it for him. lol

PRIDE 26: PAGARA BROS STOP FOES




CEBU CITY - Jason ‘El Niño’ Pagara of the ALA Gym held on to his WBO International light welterweight title in a compelling shootout against Mario “Rocky” Meraz of Mexico. Pagara started strong and dropped Meraz with a left and right hook to the head in the opening round. But Meraz quickly recuperated and tried to match Pagara punch for punch in the subsequent rounds.

The third round started with both boxers throwing haymakers and Pagara also mixed his offense with body shots. Pagara’s left hook found its target but Meraz showed a lot of toughness despite being staggered on several occasions. Meraz’s potent right made him stay in the fight despite being pinned on the ropes and receiving hard volleys. In the fourth, a brutal barrage from Pagara had Meraz reeling and seeking refuge on the ropes. Meraz was knocked down again after a series of power punches. He stood up but referee Danrex Tapdasan ruled that Meraz was on unsteady legs after he instructed the Mexican to walk towards him prompting the stoppage at the 2:59 mark.

“Prince” Albert Pagara made it a very short night for Hugo ‘Olimpico’ Partida of Mexico. The younger of the Pagara brothers smacked Partida with a right to the jaw and dropped him in the opening round. Partida got up but Pagara landed another barrage that had Partida falling to the ropes. Referee Bruce McTavish correctly ruled a second knockdown since if it wasn’t for the ring ropes, the Mexican would have hit the canvas.

A left hook to the jaw sent Partida down again and referee McTavish decided to end the slaughter. Time 1:18 1st round. Pagara was awarded his first belt – the IBF Intercontinental junior featherweight title.


AJ ‘Bazooka’ Banal survived a flash knockdown in the first round to knock out Defry ‘The Hammer’ Palulu of Indonesia in the second. Heavy hooks to the body, including three successive right hooks to the ribs sent Palulu through the ropes.Referee Tony Pesons reached the ten count at the 2:59 mark.

Jimrex ‘Executioner’ Jaca knocked down Masayoshi Kotake Japan in the opening round but a clash of heads in the third round inflicted a deep gash on Jaca’s right eyelid which led to the fight being declared a technical draw.

Elmo “Bisdak” Traya knocked down Naozumi Tsuchiyama of Japan three times in round one and referee Dan Nietes stopped the fight at the 2:40 mark.

In an entertaining back and forth encounter, Richard “Chiwawa” Barrios leaned on the knockdown he scored in the seventh to beat Lester John Pronco by unanimous decision after 8 rounds. Scores – Judge Arnel Pasion – 77-74, Salven Lagumbay – 78-73 and Arnie Najera – 76-75. Jess Rhey Waminal won by unanimous decision against Fritz Cabilla in 4 rounds. Scores – A.

Kinsay inyo gusto modaog Canelo vs. Lara?

[Zakary]

im leaning on canelo but who knows lara might pull an upset , he is a warrior

[Zakary]

ugma na gyud ang canelo alvarez vs erislandy lara . my prediction , lara will win by unanimous decision

[Zakary]

pilde man si lara split decision.

[Bongoton]

It was Lara's fight to win, except that he didn't do enough. If he had stayed the pocket a little bit more and punched, he could have won, but he elected to move a little too much. That cost him the fight, although he still couldn't have won because of Levi Martinez' incompetent scorecard (117-111 Canelo)

amaw man to lara, iya na unta to, shet!
