NEW YORK– There is a new player ready to take over the 154 lb. division and his name is Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez (43-1-1, 23 KO’s). The DBE Super Welterweight looked outstanding Saturday night knocking out a highly motivated, well prepared Archack TerMeliksetian (16-7, 13 KO’s), in the 7th round of a scheduled 10 round contest. Sergio displayed fast combinations, slick footwork, great defense, an abundance of power and a clear will to win.
The Argentinean’s win Saturday night came on the undercard of the Vernon Forrest-Sergio Mora WBC Super Welterweight Title fight where Mora, the challenger, upset Forrest to win the belt. Ironically, with the win, Martinez is now the WBC #1 contender and the mandatory challenger for Sergio Mora’s WBC Super Welterweight Title.
“Sergio Martinez was by far the most impressive fighter on the card Saturday night at Mohegan Sun,” said Lou DiBella, president of DiBella Entertainment. “I am so excited for what lies ahead for Sergio. He has great boxing tools and is an extremely fun fighter to watch. He is an intelligent person who will be very marketable to the networks. He now has a great opportunity as the #1 Contender for the WBC belt as it will be ‘Sergio vs. Sergio’ and I know Martinez has the ability and passion to win it.”
