The Official Miguel Cotto-Sergio Martinez Master Thread
Collapse
-
Miguel Cotto will light a candle for Sergio Martinez, and pray that he doesn't injure himself training in the days leading up to the big fight.
Once they meet in the center of the ring and Maravilla realizes he's facing a bull he can't outrun he will crumble inside of 9 rounds. First his body will succumb to the pressure. Then go the legs. Finally, Martinez head will fall and we'll bear witness to the historic crowning of a four division PR champion in Miguel Cotto as the TKO comes swiftly and without mercy.
Somewhat tragically, this will mean another boxer ruined/retired at the hands of Cotto but such is life.

Everyone seems to be thinking Sergio isn't moving around well. I don't see it. I see a guy who's in the earliest stages of training camp. When you consider that Martinez hasn't trained in a long while, due to the knee surgeries, it's no surprise he's not looking especially mobile. The knee brace isn't necessarily a concern, either. The guy has knee problems, so it must be protected during training.
Like someone else said, we'll have to wait until the fight truly draws close to see what "Maravilla" is really going to look like come fight night.

If you watch Martinez's movements, he shifts his weight from his right leg to his back leg quite a lot. Not the best sign. But Martinez in recent footage also looks very fast and powerful.

Originally posted by ColdBlooded View PostIn a recent interview, Martinez said his knee started hurting again. Which means that for a time, it wasn't hurting. Which means that the pain is on off. Which is better than constant, which is what it was before. So clearly, his knee is improving. He also said that doctors said his knee will stop hurting in a few weeks.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostThanks for the observation. I don't know much about the healing process after knee surgery, but lingering pain after any surgery is par-for-the-course. Of course, we'll have to wait and see until the fight, but if Sergio's knee has healed properly, it should be a non-issue on fight night.

I don't buy it, Cotto has fought bigger men in his career and it's Cotto Vs MaragacheatoII..IMO
P.S. It's personal

Originally posted by ColdBlooded View PostBased on what I've read, Martinez's recovery time is really on the long side. It's been 10 months since he reinjured the knee. I suppose the question is: Is Martinez's knee healthy but in pain or still injured?
