its funny seeing all the martinez fanboys making excuses for him for the cotto fight when they were talking alot of **** before the fight and martinez himself did not use the knees as an excuse before or after the fight
My knees are feeling great. I have been running in the mornings on the treadmill. It has been a great camp and I am feeling great and haven't felt this good in a long time,"
"Right now I am just the same as when there were no knee problems. I have overcome all obstacles.
Martinez has insisted that his knee was not an issue against Cotto.
Can't post links but just google "healthy martinez ready for cotto espn" and "sergio martinez will continue to fight espn". In the 2nd article his manager says it was the left hook in the first round that screwed him over and not his knees. And once again in that article martinez says his knee wasn't an issue
It's disrespectful to a fighter to make excuses for him when he himself is saying there was no problems
Actually he admitted on his drink champ interviews with nore recently or alluded to the reason he's change and doesn't let his hands go, he took his family to the colon fight and seeing colon take punishment then walk out smiling only to be in a coma later affected him, he said its traumatic that colon is basically a vegetable but throw some pads In front of him and he'll try to slap pads..you could hear his moment of clarity in his voice, like he second guessing is the sport really worth it...Broner made too much money and no longer thirsts to get his head beat in and take that life changing shot he don't see, he fights for his family, he once had the confidence but chino showed him that life changing power exist, Broner is simply having fun out here at this point, he's done....
i could believe that if he let his hands go prior to the colon fight but he rarely did
