Martinez will only fight once this year

He probably had a drainage tube in his knee for a week and got an infection...that would have been back in Oct or near then. That happens and is not an re-injury...a week of antibiotics and it would be gone. I can't see him fighting if he didn't have a proper training camp and is ready for it...I'm sure he's fine. Oh, I think he's probably fit and healthy enough to fight (he wouldn't otherwise), but it doesn't mean the knee still isn't a problem and that it could use some more time to heal.

so much for golovkin fight this year...... :(

Not a good sign at all considering his age and injuries. Not good at all. I'm very interested to see how his mobility is this weekend.

I can't remember the exact specifics, but it was more serious than that. In some other interview, he said something in his knee, something started leaking (I can't remember what he was referring to), and it got infected. I don't think it was that recent though and he time for it to recover some before training camp began.

The interviewer is asking here about injury due to air travel pressure...not re-injury. And that's not injury...he worded it poorly. The injury to your knee was only after the operation by the pressure received leg in air travel, are you able to run? It sounds more like he felt pain due to cabin pressure while traveling. That's not unusual after surgery and it's getting better now. You are making more of this than is the case...he did not re-injure it in training as you said. He flew home after surgery and of course it was not 100%...that statement was not from his training camp or he wouldn't even be fighting on Sat if so.

Sergio answers that he was doing some recovery work on water (running in water) and that the injury was evolving positively so far. He also mentions that he started cycling and doing some light jogging as the injury improved in the last few days. I also recall reading a recent (2-3 weeks) interview regarding his knee getting re-injured where he said his knee was a 7 out of 10.

Where did you get this from because I have found nothing about this being true.

(Sergio)–Hasta el miércoles corrí sólo en el agua para no lastimarme más. Evitaba el impacto con el suelo. Pero como la evolución es muy positiva, desde el viernes estoy corriendo sobre tierra, en la montaña. Sí pude andar en bici correctamente en este tiempo. Voy a llegar bien.

JCC Jr. took his soul in the 12th round of their fight.

I suspect this may have something to do with him re-injuring his knee while training for the Murray fight Where did you get this from because I have found nothing about this being true.

Well there goes my big dreams of Sergio vs Golovkin. Kind of a waste of a year if he's only going to fight Murray. Do you have a dream of JCC Jr vs Golovkin?

Terrible.....imagine if Floyd fight a guy like Martin Murray and that was his only fight in 12 months time. At least Floyd fought Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto when he decided to only fight once. Undefeated and prime? Yeah that's not a Floyd fight lol Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Lol at Floyd being in his prime in 2009-2012. Sergio's last 5 fights have now been Dzinziruk, Barker, Macklin, Chavez, and Murray. What a run. Definitely deserving of only one fight a year. At least when Floyd opted to fight once per year lately it was Mosley, who everyone wanted him to fight at the time and who was #3 P4P coming off a huge win. Ortiz, coming off a big win at the time and the #2 ranked guy at 147. And Cotto, the #1 guy at 154, and his best fight aside from Manny at the time. The difference is Martinez is injured, Mayweather was just a b*tch. Let's not forget he might still slip a fight Nov./Dec. Also don't forget Mayweather's vacation after the Hatton fight, so it's really 2008-2012...

You serious? Floyd did it during prime years and perfect health. Thats not the case with Martinez. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android Lol at Floyd being in his prime in 2009-2012.

Translation - Let GGG do my dirty work and hope he loses or shows a weakness I can take advantage of lol

Scared to death and scared to look, he's shook. After stealing the middleweight title in the biggest injustice in sporting history, the man is running to that safehouse of his in Yemen. He doesn't want it with Chavez, but he will fight a One Direction back-up dancer instead? Shameful. Sergio Martinez is one big piece of chicken shit. That's cool, you know what's next for Chavez after the mighty Vera don't you? 3g and Ward will both be knocking down his door for a scrap - "nowhere to run Chavez jr, nowhere to hide"

why is this homo in the p4p list again? lol, because he'd smash you to bits with the greatest of ease. :boxing:

Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android True, the reasoning is different (and understandable), but the outcome is the same. I'm glad that now Chavez will stop name-dropping him like he even deserves a rematch to begin with. As long as there's an indisputable #2 by the beginning of next year, then it's all good.
