Martinez was medically cleared to start training, says Lewkowicz. The Argentine champion has been out of the ring since last April, when he suffered multiple injuries during a twelve round unanimous decision win over Martin Murray.

if the rehab went well Martinez might actually have a stronger knee.

from my understanding the last time he was injured they removed the damaged area of his ligament and scoped his knee. I'm not exactly sure the extent of this injury but considering the rehab time (something like 9 months) he probably completely blew out his MCL and they probably just used an Achilles tendon from a donor to replace the ligament. if they did that his knee would be a lot stronger. they did that when they reconstructed Carson Palmer's knee in the NFL. Martinez might be almost 100% for the fight, well as close to 100% a 39 year old can be


I'm sure somebody has the details to the extend of his injury. I'm just guessing
