Martinez was brilliant at his peak but last night was sad. It was still an excellent performance from Cotton but I don't think you can draw conclusions about a 2009/10 fight from that.
I understand the point being made, I think. There's a difference between not feeling able to push through the pain caused by an injury and finding that your body will not physically do what you want it to do. I think the latter is what Sergio experienced.
I wonder about his camp. He didn't look like half the fighter he was and surely his team must have seen that as soon as he got in the gym. What a sad ending.
Still a great performance from Cotto.

I don't like to get into this, but how is that a sport? Someone kicking another unconscious then diving in to hit them in the head while they're lying on the floor has no place outside of a pub car park.
Great interview and good to see he is in good spirits..but sad that no one is entering this thread which shows me no 1 gives a damn about these fighters and they are 100 percent right to care about health and money 1st
I should've called the thread "Floyd vs Williams to happen in 2015 - what PED testing will be in place?"
The correct answer is Danny Williams fighting on one-handed with his right arm hanging out of his shoulder and managing to win by KO. That's unbelievable.
I always find it strange how boxing fans insist that belts and titles are irrelevant then get all pissed off about people fighting outside the regular weight boundaries.
Price needs a decent win very soon if he wants to become relevant again. The opposition he's been trying to rebuild against does his reputation no favours.
