Orlando Martínez (born September 2, 1944)[1] is a former bantamweight boxer from Cuba, who won the gold medal at the 1972 Summer Olympics. Three years later he captured the gold at the 1975 Pan American Games. Orlando was awarded a hotly disputed 3-2 split decision over Great Britain's George Turpin in the 1972 Munich Olympics semi final, before coasting to a comfortable points win over future World Bantamweight Champion Alfonzo Zamora in the final to win the Gold medal.
