Article: Martinez cannot sleep at night, seeing psychologist after Cotto defeat

Article is in Spanish but below is a translation from google: "The Uruguayan manager ORDOBA.- Sampson Lewkowicz, near the boxer Sergio Martinez, sounded the alarm when he explained the situation in Maravilla, who still can not get over the loss to Miguel Angel Cotto in New York. "It's really bad. Says he does not sleep at night. It is with psychologist because he can not sleep, do not react to a loss like that. Says that night (against Cotto) was not him, who knows what happened to him, and That is with psychologist trying to understand his loss. says he can not live without knowing if it is really finished or still has more, "said Lewkowicz, in dialogue with World D. "We were meeting in Spain and asked me what I thought about his future. Clarified that if I retired I would be happy because, for me, no need to keep fighting. Disagreed But," he added. For the manager, the problem is not in the knees, but they fear that a blow has done damage to the stability of Quilmes. With the goal post in the recovery and try to return to the ring, the idea that exists in your environment is to fight against one of the Top 10 World Boxing Council (WBC) at Luna Park, but pressure from HBO makes it more likely a comeback in the United States.

and this is why Mayweather avoided Pacquiao. Imagine if he had lost, he'd probably be on suicide watch. Of course with Sergio its different because he's not protecting an undefeated recorded yet he so desperately craved the respect and accolades deserving of his HOF credentials.

If I had his money and fame I think I could probably sleep pretty good at night... fighters have pride and dignity, if and when their pride gets hurt all the money in the world wont make a difference. martinez should talk to williams, they both claim to be about as good friends as two people can be without speaking the same language. paul obviously took an equally or more devastating loss at the hands of martinez himself and has since then had an ever harder time outside the ring due to the injury. seeing williams' spirit to overcome his accident and stay positive in the face of adversity should make him realize there are worse things in life than losing a boxing match and inspire him to move on.

Pobre cito bebé. Martinez is my favorite fighter and has been for years but its time to hang em up. Every time he fights its like a continuation of the 11th round of the Chavez fight. Please dont kill ur legacy Maravilla. Father time is undefeated here in thi xxx world.

This. Before the money and fame he was just Sergio Martinez, a poor kid from Argentina with aspirations to be a great competitor (athlete.) Anyways, it sounds like he is having a hard time coping with the fact that he isn't the boxer he was a half a decade ago, which is understandable for a competitor of his nature. However, it didn't just happen over night, there has been tell tale signs for a couple years now.. I hope everything works out and he finds the courage to hang up the gloves, which isn't so easy after such a devistating defeat. Sergio has nothing to be ashamed of and nothing left to prove. He was never that boxer even a decade ago. Knocking out PWill made his stock sky rocket. His career evolved around that.

Exactly! could not say it better myself. People do not realize how revealing it is when they say things like: "well heck if I had a ____ dollars I would just relax. When a person says that it means that they will not amount to much when compared to people who really put their best foot foward and keep trying to become better. Of course the flip side of that is the ego driven impulsiveness. But as James Baldwin once said "you have to go which way your blood beats." One thing is for sure...Martinez is prolly not counting his millions right now. Of course he's not and most fans don't understand. I was never an A level fighter, but I been around a lot of them and I can tell you that ego is an essential part of being a fighter. It's not a bad thing, it can be but for most it's a part of what pushed them to be who they are. I think Martinez took this fight poorly because he trained hard, rehabbed the knee and did everything he was asked to do to get back into form and then was embarrassed. Hard pill to swallow and I can understand for a great champion like him.

He is a competitor so yes I am sure it is very frustrating especially considering the streak he was on. Maybe a fight before Cotto would have helped to test that knee and shake off some rust but I will be honest I don't think it would have helped. Once he hurt that knee I knew he would never be the same because of his STYLE which is unfortunate

Martinez was physically finished after the Chavez Jr fight, when he opted for the medical treatment in Spain... He would have badly needed a highly professional medical assistance in the U.S.

This is by far the worst post in here that I've ever seen. I admit, it's gross. But it's accurate, because most of the hardcore fan boys would do if Floyd/Mannie asked them to do. Thanks for the red K by the way, that 1 point really hurt me.

He should not be ashamed of anything that happened that night. This just proves to me he would of fought Cotto with one leg in there. Similar to the Murray fight, if he had cancelled the fight because of the knee, he would of never been able to go back to Argentina ever again. Sergio was thrashing everyone at middleweight until the 12th round with Chavez happened. A healthy Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez gives Golovkin problems, yeah i said it. A healthy one from 5 years ago. Even if hes healthy today, his reflexes arent what they used to be.

Makes me admire how strong mentally pac is. Hes in a higher place than martinez when he got ktfo by marquez. His rival for years. The problem with martinez is that he has no life outside of boxing. Ofcourse, itll make moving on harder. Itll make you think about it all the time. He also said a lot of stuffs before the fight that would make him bite his pillow every night starting from the loss. If hes not that mentally ready, he should not make a comeback. He put every bit of his pride in that fight. Cotto took his soul. Just like pacquiao took delahoyas. This is a good point, Martinez normally doesnt talk **** but he did it big time with cotto and made the fight personal, then when he lost its really going to **** his head in. If you dont talk ****, like Pac or Wlad, then when you get KOed its much easier to just say, well its boxing and that can happen, Ill come back stronger. Martinez amped himself up that he is a better person than cotto but now hes questioning all of that after getting beat down by the guy he talked so much **** about.

Remember when 79% of NSB said Cotto will get ktfo? I do :D Yes and like 90% thought Danny Garcia feared Matthysse(he would never fight him) and another 90% said Matthysse would KO Danny. 90% said Cotto would never fight Sergio. 90% said Sergio kills Cotto....knees or not. 90% think Canelo is too big for Pac but Cotto is perfect for GGG because a belt somehow makes him larger in frame.
