Cotto-Martinez at 159lb catch weight
By Rey Colón -The Sport Press
Miguel Cotto says when he and Sergio ‘Maravilla’ Martinez meet on June 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York, it will be at a catch weight not exceeding 159 pounds. Cotto, a world champion at junior welterweight, welterweight and junior middleweight, is looking to become the first Puerto Rican to capture four world titles in different divisions. He added that there is no contractual limits on what Martinez may weigh when he enters the ring.
Martinez is the WBC middleweight champion and allegedly there are only small details to fine tune to formalize the fight.
First off you are correct if this was Pacman all those race bias Flowmos will attack Pacman so they can make Floyd look good.
second Cotto never blamed those 2 pounds for his loss, it was the racist Flowmos trying to discredit Pacs win.
The same ones who justified Canelo catchweight for Floyd. Just ignore anyone who discredits Pacmans resume, the only thing we can really say that is overrated about Pacman is his punching power he has none above 140.
Cotto is such a fking diva this is the equivalent of the billing sh*t on the scales stupid games .
he ran out the ring and refused to do an interview after he lost to mayweather because he thinks he should have been given the decision for winning 3 rounds and almost getting dropped in the final. Hes a crybaby phaggot
Catch weight done to Cotto and his fans threw a fit. Now that Cotto is asking for them(if this one is true as well), it's ok with them cause it's their boxer doing it. Pathetic group of fans(the nut huggers).
Shtty move if real.
Where is Cotto number one fan at? He should be all over Cotto's shtty move. Now that he cant say sht about Cotto fighting an unknown, he needs to pick on something. He is not giving Cotto credit for this.
stay in context you dimwit and go with what we've both written.
you said in your own post that both floyd and pac don't get credit for their catch weight wins, you separated those two lines within context for delivery of that message within your post.
you're not this stupid, i know you're not.
what the hell are you saying about fantasy, you know that the fights DID happen, i know you did, and you watched them and could plainly deduce that both victors won on their talent and business dealings.
walk away, boy.
I tried giving this post a chance, but honestly i've not changed my stance at all. Catchweights tarnish fights ... you can only give credit for a win at a catchweight, not a fantasy win at the full limit. Anything else is opinion...
At no point did I say they deserve no credit at all. Just less than what they should have gotten at the full limits.
I won't go for the obvious, what most people do, and try end my post with some sort of put-down..
I'm not a trainer or nutritionist, but I don't think that the Cotto-Pacquiao situation and this one are the same. I don't think Cotto was severely affected by the 145 catchweight by itself, I think it was more a case that Cotto could not make 147 anymore and he was already headed to 154. If you see it like that, it's not that he was 2 pounds under his ideal weight, but more. Add to that the fact that Cotto did not have a real trainer and the case gets worse.
This 159 catchweight seems pretty useless and Martínez is a natural jr. middleweight anyway. He has said that he could hit 154 if he wanted to. If anything, a rehydration limit clause might have been worse for Martínez. I don't think this is anything but a power play from Cotto.
Let's give Cotto credit for even moving up to 159-160 and challenging the lineal middleweight champion... There's some other so called best fighters in the world who fight virtual nobodies after they have 1 good win and call themselves the best. This cat has fought every guy you can think of and win or lose he always gave his all. I don't expect him to beat Sergio but at least I know he'll come to fight and it will be worth the $$$ on PPV unlike most of the garbage we have to pay for.
Who cares. Sergio routinely weighs in at 157-158-159... Makes no difference.. It's actually ridiculous to even ask for just 1 lb. unless they think Sergio is so out of shape because of the injuries and surgery that he's even gonna have a tough time making 160 itself.
Cotto's my favorite fighter because of what he does in the ring, and there is more respect in no catchweight but there is also more credit in fighting someone worthy. Cotto is fighting the MW champ of the world, the catch weight is dissappointing for sure but at the end of the day it's only 1 pound and Sergio said they would have been fine at 158. I don't really care as long as the fight gets made already.
