On January 28, 2022, Beijing time, in a middleweight boxing match at the Wessinger Center in Madrid, Spain, Sergio Martinez, a 46-year-old former middleweight and super-middleweight world boxer, took the ring against British boxer Macaulay McGowan. In this match, the "elderly" boxer Sergio Martinez showed superior strength, and after 10 rounds, Sergio Martinez defeated Macaulay McGowan 3-0.
This match is Sergio Martinez's fourth since his return to the ring at the age of 45 in 2021. Moreover, in terms of the current state, the Argentine veteran can play for another few years.
In the first leg of the match, Sergio Martinez confronted Macaulay McGowan , who was much younger than himself (only 27 years old), and Sergio Martinez began to test with his usual left hand as soon as he came up. However, because of some slow heat, Sergio Martinez was knocked down by Macaulay McGowan once in one round. But looking at The Delighted McCauley McGowan, Sergio Martinez's wealth of experience came into play, skillfully getting up, moving, dodging, and then trying to punch hard. As a result, Macaulay McGowan's performance ended, and Sergio Martinez gradually turned the tide and showed his former style.
In the second leg of the match, facing the tight defense of veteran Sergio Martinez, Macaulay McGowan's heavy punches had no effect, so McCaulay McGowan had to also use his stabbing punches to harass, but he soon found that Sergio Martinez was faster than he thought.
In the third leg of the match, Macaulay McGowan played a very skilled combination of punches in this round, which forced Sergio Martinez to be in defensive form for a long time. However, Sergio Martinez showed patience and did not fall too far behind even the defense in points.
In the fourth and fifth rounds of the game, Sergio Martinez gradually found his familiar rhythm, constantly interrupting McCauley McGowan's combinations with long-range jabs and close-range hugs, and he was also able to hit McCaulay McGowan's body and head at the right time. It can be said that Sergio Martinez controlled the direction of these two rounds from beginning to end.
In the sixth leg of the match, Sergio Martinez's heavy punches began to exert their power, and Macaulay McGowan's nose was beaten to the ground. In the face of his own results, Sergio Martinez continued to work hard, showing excellent footwork and pressing McCauley McGowan tightly.
The seventh round of the match was arguably like Sergio Martinez's combat drill, and towards the end of the round, Sergio Martinez also seized the opportunity to knock Macaulay McGowan to the ground. Although Macaulay McGowan stood up when the referee reached 5 seconds, it was clear that he was not lightly injured. After he stood up, he had been trying to avoid a head-on match with Sergio Martinez, so he was chased by Sergio Martinez to finish the round.
In the eighth leg of the match, Sergio Martinez continued to exert pressure, apparently wanting to KO his opponents to end the game early. He also beat Macaulay McGowan to a shaky end of the round, but McCauley McGowan persevered until the end of the game with his ability to resist the blows.
In the ninth leg of the match, Sergio Martinez began to use the most direct offensive method, and his fists began to hit McCauley McGowan in the face steadily. And Macaulay McGowan seems to have given up resistance, as if intending to use his own face to resist Sergio Martinez's attack.
In the tenth round of the match and the last round of the match, Sergio Martinez, who had already lost his physical strength, began to squeeze the last of his energy out, launched an onslaught on McCauley McGowan, and near the end of the match, he once again accurately hit McCauley McGowan in the face, knocking McCaulay McGowan to the ground for the second time.
In the end, all ten rounds of the game ended, with two of the three referees on the scene giving a 99-89 score and one giving a 98-90 score, and finally Sergio Martinez beat Macaulay McGowan by an absolute margin of 3-0, completing his four-game winning streak since his comeback.
After the game, an extremely excited Sergio Martinez took the microphone of the live host and shouted to the audience: "I! Sergio Martinez will not give up without taking the title of World Boxing Champion! ”
According to sources, Sergio Martinez hopes to take advantage of the fact that he can still play now to challenge the former middleweight overlord Gennady Golovkin, who originally planned to fight the World Champion of Fighters with Japanese boxing champion Murata on December 31, 2021, but due to the impact of the epidemic in Japan, the match was eventually aborted. So Gennady Golovkin has no game plans at the moment.
