Martinez decisions Alexander; Selby defeats Montiel – Live Results

EW5G6759(Photo credit: Lucas Noonan/PBC) By Scott Gilfoid: We may have seen former two division world champion Devon Alexander’s career effectively ended tonight with him losing a 10 round unanimous decision to journeyman Aaron Martinez (20-4-1, 4 KOs) on Wednesday night on Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN from the Gila River Arena, in Glendale, Arizona. The final judges’ scores were 96-94, 97-93 and 97-93, all for Martinez.

You hate to say that Alexander’s career is over with, but with him losing 3 out of his last 4 fights, I think you can make an argument for that possibility. Alexander’s punishing loss to Shawn Porter in 2013 seems to have taken something out of him because he hasn’t looked the same since then. Alexander was beaten by Amir Khan by a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision last December. Alexander then stayed out of the ring for 10 months until coming back to fight Martinez tonight. Alexander looked worse in this fight than he did in the Khan fight if you can believe it.

Alexander, 28, still believes that he can eventually be one of the elite fighters in boxing, but with him having lose 2 out of his last 3 fights, the future isn’t looking bright for him right now. Alexander was beaten by Amir Khan last December in a 12 round decision loss.

Robert Guerrero: I should have boxed Aaron Martinez from the beginning

guerrero55By Dan Ambrose: #10 WBA 147 pound contender Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs) only now fully realizes that he should have elected to box his opponent Aaron Martinez (19-4-1, 4 KOs) last Saturday rather than exchanging with him in their fight at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

The 32-year-old Guerrero chose to stand and trade with Martinez, who isn’t known for being a big puncher, and it almost cost Guerrero the fight. He was knocked down in the 4th round, and he barely won the fight by a 10 round split decision by the scores of 97-92, 95-94 for Guerrero, and 95-94 for Martinez.

Robert Guerrero: Now it’s time to move on to the big fights

guerrero4444444(Photo Credit: Suzanne Teresa/Premier Boxing Champions) By Allan Fox: Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs) barely made it through his fight today in beating Aaron Martinez (19-4-1, 4 KOs) by a questionable 10 round split decision to keep his once promising career afloat at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Guerrero, 32, says he now wants the big fights after this narrow and controversial victory. Many boxing fans thought that Guerrero should have lost the fight. That’s why it’s so comical for Guerrero to be talking in terms of him deserving a big money fight because he was given a gift decision. Martinez knocked Guerrero down in the 4th round.

Guerrero defeats Martinez; Cuellar stops Darchinyan

guerrero6788(Photo Credit: Suzanne Teresa/Premier Boxing Champions) By Dan Ambrose: In one of former two division world champion Robert Guerrero’s worst performances of his career, he had to get up off the deck in the 4th round to come back and defeat 2nd tier fighter Aaron Martinez (19-4-1, 4 KOs) by a narrow 10 round split decision on Saturday afternoon on NBC on Premier Boxing Champions at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

The final judges’ scores were 97-92 and 95-94 for Guerrero, and 95-94 for Martinez. The 97-92 score made no sense at all because you can make an argument that Guerrero really should have lost the fight. I had Martinez winning 5 rounds, and with the knockdown in the 4th, he should have won the fight.

The Guerrero-Martinez fight will be televised on NBC on Premier Boxing Champions at 3:00 PM ET/ 12:00 PM PT.

It’s a high visibility fight for the 32-year-old Guerrero given that the fight will be televised on NBC, and that’s why it’s important for him to dispatch Martinez quickly without letting drag out like Guerrero did with his fight against fringe contender Yoshihiro Kamegai last year in June. Guerrero had what should have been an easy fight for him, but instead he elected to get in the trenches with the Japanese fighter and beat him at his own game.
