"Maravilla"

Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez is a 35 year old boxing champ from Quilmes, Argentina.

 In April 2010 he outclassed Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik and won the middleweight championship of the world. Then he was to face Paul “The Punisher” Williams who had previously defeated him in a controversial decision in December 2009.

The much anticipated clash took place in Atlantic City, New Jersey on November 20, 2010. Williams, billed as “the most avoided fighter in the world”, didn’t waste time and opened up the stanza by firing hard overhand hooks. But it was this whirlwind offense that set him up for the counter that Martinez had prepared for. At 30 seconds of the second round Williams chased Martinez attempting to land a hook but instead he walked directly into a devastatingly vicious    left hook that landed squarely on the “Punisher’s” chin. Williams fell with a blank look in his eyes and “Maravilla’s” one punch knockout was dubbed the most impressive performance of the year.

Now, with a record of 46-2-2 with 25 KO’s “Maravilla” has been declared “Fighter of the Year” by Ring Magazine and will be presented with the Sugar Ray Robinson trophy on May 6 in Las Vegas. His next foe will be the Ukrainian Sergei Dzindziruk. The bout will take place at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket in Connecticut on March 12, 2011.
