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

[PunchyPotorff]

Because I train 6 days a week for an average of 8 hours a day, I am always in constant pain. There are some days when I am so sore that I cannot even walk but I push myself because I know that I have to push myself to be the best fighter in the world.

Can't walk, but trains to be best fighter in the world? I don't know what to make of this. If a man can't even walk, why is he competing in such a physically demanding sport?

He's probably just exaggerating to help sell the fight I would imagine. Yeah, he's had alot of injuries and is at the final bits of his career, but I doubt he'd even do the fight if he was that bad off.

Not true...jerry rice is known for legendary 8 hr off season workout routines. In fact I have mirrored them in the past. Your work and rest & food intake simply gets regimented heavily. You guys love talking bulli**** . this place has become worse than a barbershop. Bunch of fake know-it-alls.

Yeah.....it kinda is true, it is in no way healthy or beneficial to train that long so frequently so go do some reading.

I really hope his body holds up the whole fight, if not Cotto's gonna knock him out.

Yeah, I was thinking the same after thinking about it and reading the other posts here. I know he can't or shouldn't run, but there are elliptical machines he can work out on that are easier on the joints.

I'm sure he'll be ok come fight night, in the best shape he can possibly be in the stage of his health/age. It's going to be a very interesting fight.
