I think most fans and pundits are either overrating Martinez or underrating Cotto, not sure which. Most people I've discussed the fight with are predicting Martinez via dominance, usually by either a flat out KO or some form of a TKO. In my opinion, those people are either going solely on the size advantage that Martinez has or they're expecting the Sergio Martinez who fought Paul Williams to show up and, frankly, I'm not even sure that guy exists anymore.
People forget just how awful Martinez looked against Murray. Had that fight been held anywhere else in the world, he'd have lost it...and rightfully so. Couple that with his nagging injuries and it's entirely possibly that his knee could blow the **** out again in the middle of the fight.
Then what?
All of that aside, I favor Martinez in this fight via UD. But not without reservation, and I damn sure wouldn't bet real money on it.Comment
