Elie Seckbach, the Embedded Correspondent, brings his exclusive video reporting to FanHouse. Check back regularly for more videos. WBC middleweight (160 pounds) king Sergio Martinez (46-2-2, 25 KOs) was on hand for Saturday night's HBO televised Golden Boy Promotions clash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where WBO interim lightweight (135 pounds) king Michael Katsidis (27-3, 22 KOs) lost by ninth-round knockout to WBO and WBA champion Juan Manuel Marquez (52-5-1, 38 KOs).
Martinez (pictured at right), who called Marquez-Katsidis 'The Fight of the Year,' is coming off of a Nov. 20, second-round knockout of Paul Williams (39-2, 27 KOs) that avenged a December, majority decision loss during which both fighters were down in the first round.
Williams was rated No. 3 in most pound-for-pound lists behind six-time titlist Floyd Mayweather (41-0, 25 KOs) and eight-division champ Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs), who is the current WBO welterweight (147 pounds) and WBC junior middleweight (154 pounds) champion.
Martinez told FanHouse that he would like to face either Mayweather or WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KOs), who, like Pacquiao, is promoted by Top Rank Promotions.
