Comments Thread For: Cotto-Martinez Fully Wrapped Up For HBO PPV Clash, 6/7

[H.B.Viper]

Cotto is the better technical boxer of the two...Martinez is a mover with limited defensive skills, he relies on reflexes. If Cotto was a plodder he'd have no chance, but Cotto has above average foot and hand speed. Cotto will be the fastest fighter Martinez has faced. This will force Martinez into an even more frantic pace than usual. Martinez gets hit in every fight and hes never faced a fighter as offensively gifted as Cotto. Cotto's inside game is going to be a nightmare for Martinez.

I hear everything you're sayin but......
As far as speed is concerned, didn't Martinez fight PWill twice?
PWill was fast, had nifty footwork, and by all means a much better boxer than Cotto was???
And applied much more pressure than Cotto could to any fighter!
And for such a tall fighter all PWill wanted to do was a trench war with Sergio.
So my friend all that is thrown out the window!

You think a guy that tall, with arms that long is going to be faster than Cotto? Does he have Cotto's inside game? Nope.

Great match up! Glad its official now!

Well it's time. The KING will ascend to his rightful place. Sad that Sergio must be the one that goes down, but this is a sport and business.

Greetings from East Los Angeles , the birthplace of the great Oscar DeLa Hoya !!, anyways... MARTINEZ @ THE 9th 10th ROUND ! I don't see cotto making it to the final bell . TKO .

Truthfully Cotto is setting himself up for disaster if he doesnt win. He's not only not favored to win but is getting the diva treatment. If he wins he beats a badly faded champ at a catchweight who had to give in to every demand to get him in the ring. If he loses (which he's expected to despite Sergios slide)? S hit'll be humiliating I would imagine due to the lack of...well...humility.

For f ucks sake he's fighting THE champ at 160 coming off terrible injuries and layoff at a petty catch weight. I love Cotto but he wont get 100% credit rrom many

yep and cotto will leave the ring all sad like he always does when he loses lol

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

Sergio wins by split..........head split that is lol!!!
