As posted before, one of the rasons was that Cotto turned away when Martinez wanted to say hi. But he also explains that he wanted to beat him since earlier, when during a TV presentation he saw Cotto acting rude towards the studio crew of a Mexican channel.
He also says that he'd rather step aside when his time comes rather than have a younger boxer have him step back against the ropes, not only for himself, his pride and the actual pain of getting punched, but also because of his mother.
Seems this is Martinez's last fight.
