Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez on Dealing With Injuries, Constant Pain

[muzzo]

What are you expecting exactly? .How hard do you work out?.Do you even work out?...hes working out as hard as you would expect as anyone to work out much less a 39yrold with a supposedly crippled knee etc, I think people are taking Martinez's quote's out of context...., do you see him limping at all in that clip?, You see him squatting with weights etc,.Bear in mind thats a clip from 3wks ago with still 2/3 weeks of training to go.

That was in response to PRPOWERPUNCHRS btw

That's the reason I think Cotto has a chance . I read somewhere earlier that his knee is so bad that he doesn't run in training camp. If he re injures early in the fight it could be a long night for Sergio.

Either way looking forward to this fight credit to both fighters.

Sergio is just playing Cotto. If things are so bad, if he is in such piss-poor shape...how does he train for 8 hrs a day, 6 days a week? Exactly

[El Angel]

You mean the king of taking knees?
Yeah Kneeguel wil show him how to appropriately take a knee

Why are you constantly following me around? Fuck off.

They mention in ESPN deportes on Friday night that Martinez has not spar or run for fear to reinjure his hand or knee, that he is just doinf light shadow boxing and hitting punching bag (not Rios) and other minor things.

I think Sergio is in it just for the money, but in spite of all that I still pick him to win.

& you believe that even tho they showed him running during the HBO montage after the marquez fight. Get ur head outta ur azz kid...

He is using the old lure thing tactic. Sergio has not been in that many wars, he started late in his carrer,s o his body it's holding up good.

You are telling me that you work out 8 hours a day 6 days a week with all of that pain? Please Sergio!

I still pick him to take Cotto apart, Cotto it's to small and he gets hit a lot for a guy that has a good sounded defense.....Sergio in 9 rds....

Sergio's problem isn't too many blows to the head, it's too much running. He is 39 and he played soccer before he did boxing. Soccer is BRUTAL on your knee's, that, on top of his very active footwork and it's a problem. It isn't just like joint pain, he's had 2 knee surgeries on the same knee it is definitely an issue.

On top of the soccer he is saying he trains 8 hours a day 6 days a week? WTF, that's insane and bad for your body it's not working hard it's ******ity. Now, his body is breaking down from all that wear and tear and it appears to be fading quickly. Really it's just 1 fight from the Chavez bout where he looked fantastic, next fight he looked old and this can happen "overnight." I also think Sergio has enough intergrity to not hope on some JMM superbatspiderman pills.

check out around 9 minutes into it, he talks about his knee.

he basically mixes it up with mountain biking and running. he's just taking care of his knee. but he does say it taking him longer to recover from work outs.

around 7:30 he is rubbing his knee, so who knows.

Sergio better be bluffing

[Spray_resistant]

The thing that sticks out to me is him training 6 days a week 8 hours a day, you really can't do that without chemical assistance. You would be doing nothing but breaking down muscle tissue and be a drained zombie all of the time.
