Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez To Have Right Knee Surgery on Nov. 12

Also why are you guys overreacting? You guys are acting like he shredded his knee to pieces. Enough already. Athletes have came back from much WORSE injuries.

It is not that straightforward. A lot of it depends on the athletes age and whether or not they have other areas to fall back on.

He might never be the same after this surgery. It's possible that we have seen the best of Sergio and that it's all downhill from here.

well, physically, that was already the case. the guy was faster five years ago. he's 10X the boxer now that he's got so much world championship level experience. he also found a huge set of balls. dude is the man

physically he's already on the downside. his boxing improvements have negated that decline, though. he's really developed into a hell of a professional prizefighter, where he used to just be an athlete with gloves on.

real talk. soft tissues take a long time to heal on a 37 year old. martinez relies on flying around the ring with his feet. when i saw him live that's what impressed me most. the guy can cover distance like a great athlete. most guys cant do that. not for 12 rounds, certainly. when that goes he'll have to find something else on which to base his style.

NICE alt, don't even have the balls to post on your regular account. Go play your little girl games somewhere else.

Alt? I don't have time to have 30 alts & play online all day - that's for cheaters & their lovers like you, puta......

He had no problem with his knee before the fight, they just say so so they don't look bad. Anyway, he messed it up from running away like a coward instead of attacking full force like he said he would do. The knock down didn't help either. Chávez didn't train and was nervous but he was still able to hurt and almost KO Martínez in one round, Chávez was never hurt.

And you know that he didn't have a knee injury how? And don't know what fight you watched, but Sergio was about a step and a 1/2 from Chavez at ALL times. Problem is Jr. couldn't hit what he couldn't catch until Sergio got careless..

the irony in your profile pic seems like you support cheaters, jr is a fraud he might have dropped sergio in the 12th round but he forgot one of the fundamentals of boxing wen your opponent is hurt finish him off something jr could not do so he gets no props

Doesn't matter, no excuses, Chavez made weight, Sergio Made weight, that's the end of it.

So why did Chavez give excuses on his 2nd positive drug test & his a$$-whipping then?
