Comments Thread For: Photos: Sergio Martinez Grinding Hard For Miguel Cotto

It's an improvised balance board.

From a ring magazine article:

Thanks man, never seen that before

Cotto is already at weight so he can train for a game plan for the next month. Sergio is still training to make weight. Could make a difference. Either way should be a good fight. Win lose or draw cotto gets mad props. Dude fights everyone. How people can't at least respect him for that I don't know.

Martinez looking kinda old here...but still love him as a fighter man

Sergio looks really old in one of the shadow-boxing pics. Of course, Miguel is no spring chicken himself.

Not impressed. Cotto got this, no problem!

That first black & white photo looks badass.

Balance board is the shyt - Martinez not running worries me, the thing with cotto is he is not as easy to hit as people think, after alot of his fights his opponents always say how slick he is, when you miss that takes energy out of you. Martinez is around the weight he normally is with the 30 day weight check , but those last pounds are gonna be a bytch because he cannot just run them off, unless he is starting to run in camp, word was he wasnt going to run in this camp in fear of reinjuring his knee

Road work is very punishing on damaged knees, it probably makes sense not to do it when he can turn to cycling instead. I do wonder if he's doing much work to get the springiness and explosiveness back in his legs though. That's strain on the knee that can't be avoided.

Doesn't seem like a great sign for him to still be wearing knee supports. They're ok as a short term pre-caution, but beyond that the muscles around the knee should be getting strong enough for you not to need them. If he's still not strong enough to go without them it suggests he's not as well recovered from the surgery as he'd like people to think.

Martinez looks old because, well, he IS old and last time we saw him was nearly a year ago.

I bet that knee will trouble him again if Cotto puts the pressure on.
