If you do a treatment with stem cells to regenerate cartilage of an already three times operated knee, takes 1 year and a month to recover and you think that you will win knowing you were not 100%, you clearly underestimated a great fighter like Cotto based only on size and clearly fought for the money. Any top 10 Middleweight had knocked out Martinez last Saturday.-
Maidana lose the fight, nevertheless, with heart and power demonstrates Khan as medium level boxer (who survives with courage) and not as a great figure, f Khan bad spent most of the fight running and embracing, do you imagine Marquez doing something similar?.
And also to be honest, Maidana practically took Khan knocked out on foot and he could have won the combat, I believe the fight was better for Maidana's future than from Khan.-
I have to Khan two points on Maidana. the Knockdown and the discount point did the difference. It is undeniable that if Cortez does not get into 10 round Maidana knock him out. Congratulations to Khan because I bear it and to Maidana because boxers like him do well to the sport.
PD Cortez is unpresentable.
I don't like this fight but what else is Martinez going to do?
if Chavez jr fights Macklin then the WBC will probably make Murray the mandatory which takes care of that and it's a fight in Argentina to boot.
Martinez wanted to move back down to 154 but couldn't get a meaningful fight.
Nobody with anything to lose at 154 is going to touch him. Saul Alvarez might say he wants to fight Martinez in public but in private it's a no go. Miguel Cotto isn't interested and neither is Mayweather.
people will say Golovkin and I'd like to see that but outside of hardcore boxing fans GGG is totally unknown.
Murray isn't a fight i'm excited about but since the big names don't want to fight Martinez, that's just how it's going to be. we all know this is just a set up for Martinez vs Chavez 2 anyway.
That's the truth.-
I can be wrong but I think Maidana's chance is that he gives a f..ck everything around Mayweather and what he represents, not even speak English and is a fighter who didn't have the slightest respect in the ring. They are technichally light years away but who knows....
