Comments Thread For: Cotto, Top Rank Clarify 159 Catchweight For Martinez

[chepe009]

Truth is, even though Martinez was unable to move or train for a year, he should have no problem getting to 159. In reality, Martinez is not much bigger than cotto. People forget Martinez campaigned at 154 but was giving the chance to fight for the title at 160 that's why he moved up. He is possibly the smallest middle weight lenial champ ever. Only advantage he really has over cotto is the experience of fighting at that weight, but that should be no prob for cotto as he's been in the ring with the best. Martinez and his fans will be SHOCKED when they see cotto wearing Martinez down and eventually KO him in the late rounds. Cotto had underrated boxing skills, plus devastating power. I could argue that cotto is the best boxer Martinez has faced and the most powerful. Add that work roach and his ability to come up with a winning game plan= long night for Martinez

Martinez agreed so oh well but won't matter cause moment Cotto gets hit he'll realize he made a mistake

Sergio's face when he got caught lying in the Face Off was priceless. Cotto put him in his place.

This fairy is about to get the beating of her life. I have zero respect for this sissy. WAR COTTO!!!!!!! Knee his knees, hit his thighs... further limit his movement by any means necessary and then just bash those ribs in until they break and he can't continue anymore. I want to see him struggle and suffer all before a 154 pounder.

You just need to have the real Golovkin read qoutes from you man. ****ing epic and I couldn't agree more lmao.

Sergio had been saying for yrs he could make jr mw. Now he can't go less than 159. It's cool though, I didn't want this at a CW cuz I don't like them and didn't want to hear any excuses when Sergio loses.

War Cotto!

King Cotto all the way!!

Martinez will be heavier than Cotto come fight night, that is NOT a plus for MArtinez with his fighting style. Cotto has very good timing, and a solid jab with a good clinch game. Cotto has shown that he can be hurt/ tagged with rights and uppers with a fighter to pressure him and MArtinez is NOT a pressure fighter. Martinez that fought Murray is not even the one who showed up against Jr. Martinez showed a drastic declined pointed by anyone who saw that fight. I wonder who will be the first one to go down for the count, this fight will depend more on which MArtinez shows up to fight rather than Cottos trainer, gameplan, or any other x factor of Cottos.

It appears that Martinez is the real diva after all. Anyway the diva can resume his dancing career because Miguel will emerge victorious on the 7th of June.

Not an agreement with the sissy stuff but I fully approve of the bold, Cotto needs to do this.

1 pound! What the hell has Boxing come to?!

LMAO at the people point at 170lbs as if that means anything...Yes let's forget that this man couldn't even walk fast for an entire year and could do zero cardio for that time and was only cleared to do cardio work after the fight was signed. I see lots of people on here who are about to lose their bets on fight night. Martinez is not Cotto, Cotto had to move up in weight because he has always hated cardio work and dieting. So now Cotto's fighting closer to his walk around weight of 160 something but still wayyy too small, i've said it since he left 147 his success will be dramatically limited because of his height and reach.

Sergio never said he was limited from cardio....he said from running. There are endless ways to get the heart rate up & blood flowing. Sergio has a cycling background. He also had to do rehab for all of his surgeries. Its not like he walked out of surgery & just hit the couch or went to bed for a year. No world class athlete well remain completely inactive for that length of time. He just wasn't abusing his body in the usual ways training requires. But yes Got to is very much out of his depth in this fight. He's not even a 154 lb fighter. He's a lazy welter. Freddie roach is a smart man but he's going to get Miguel battered w/ that all offensive style. Chavez entered the ring as a cruiser upwards of 180lbs & has the speed, movement, & most of all power to render him helpless for 11.5 RDS. No way Miguel stands up to that kind of power. Or speed. Especially if he plans to be highly offensive & create openings for fast hard counters. I think many people are overlooking the fact that Martinez has his main trainer in gabby sarmiento back together w/ Pablo. They are a formidable brain trust. Its going to be a great event. I think many people will change their tunes regarding Sergio after this fight. I'll be their live w/ excellent seats!
