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

[mistermartin]

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

If a 185 lb Chavez couldn't wear Martinez down...or pwill who threw 100 punches/rd....how the FDDDDDUCK!!! is Miguel going to do that??? Cotton who notoriously fades in fights & either slows too a crawl or gets on his bike...this isn't front runner zab Judah he's fighting or feather fisted Paulie mallinagi....this is a very fast very strong sharp punching middle weight CHAMPION he's fighting. Cotton is a good boxer but he's too methodical & too flat footed to deal w/ Martinez. Martinez could just sit & **** w/ Miguel if he wanted to honestly. & lastly, somehow y'all forget Miguel has been battered 3 times prior. He will have flashbacks & get stopped.

I don't think the catch weight will matter.. Both are smaller mw fighters...

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 have problems

why is this catchweight such an issue?

Catchweight fighters where the smaller guy has moved up to win a first title in a higher division have been done in boxing since Armstrong, what's the controversy?

If Martinez wins, Cottards will take a vacation until Verdejo become champion. If he wins, the tards will act like divas. NSB has become ****** with all this fan base acting like their favorite fighters are gods. No common sense. All bs and bashing.

The only ***ers doing any bashing are the Sexytards, Bailarinalovers and Martinatras.

Just because we support our favorite boxer does not mean that we act like divas or what not. There may be an exception or two but that is it.

***, look at the Canelo, Broner, Matissee and few others who really, really act like divas, payasos and dumbasses.

Win or lose you will see me come Jun 8th supporting my fighter.
