Comments Thread For: Cotto Says Martinez is Feeling Nerves Over Injuries

[PR13]

because a fighter is gonna openly admits he's not 100% ready for the fight right?? good way to turn a lot of potential buyer for the fight away from it.

If Martinez wasn't sure about his knee I doubt he was fighting Cotto at 50% & risk his p4p spot.

well even if he was he wouldnt come out and say it. when has a fighter ever done that? that was my point. im not saying martinez is not ready, etc. im just saying even if he wasnt, he wouldnt come out and let everyone know about it. kinda like when a fighter has an injury going to the fight or is sick on fight night, that fighter will not say so until after the fight is over.

i wonder if we might see a repeat of cotto vs foreman

For all those who THINKS that martinez is the better fighter. He has been dropped in his past four fights. Got a gift decision in his last fight vs murray. He beat an old pavlik who has only jermaine taylor has his notable win. An old taylor as a matter of fact who arthur abraham did better than pavlik. Chavez jr. didn't throw any punches until the last round, because he is the type of fighter who needs to set his feet to throw those big shots, so since he was down on the scorecard he just started swinging punches and dropped martinez. Matthew macklin is a nobody, darren barker is a nobody, Serhiy Dzinziruk is a nobody, Paul Williams was a good fighter but he did lose to carlos quintana, and they would have fought a 3rd time but williams got into that accident. Erislandy Lara got robbed in that Pwilliams fight. He couldn't even beat kermit cintron convincingly, and as a puertorican I can tell you cintron is ass. Other than those fighters, he has fought plenty of bums in spain and argentina to pad up that record. Oh, and when he fought for the 1st time in nevada, he got ko'd by margacheatoh and then went back to spain to fight more bums. Now, styles makes fights. I see some people here saying that cotto gets hit alot. yes he did, thats because whenever he used to throw punches he would switch up his stance and that was when he was vounorable(spellcheck). Cotto understands that now that roach pointed that out to him, (the main reason pacquiao was even able to tag him so many times). Stylistically wise, He is back to the old cotto, dig that hook to the liver, something that he has gotten away from in recent years due to his different trainers. Mayweather knows this, (dont get mad mayweather fanboys, im just using him as an example). When cotto was 31-0 and just beat mosley, he was a body hooking machine. Then, a month later after the ricky hatton fight, mayweather retired saying that he has nothing left to prove, meanwhile cotto and him was in the same weight division. He only unretired after cotto lost to margarito, changed trainers, changed his STYLE of fighting, giving up the left hook to the body for a jab and being more defensive.

WAR COTTO!!!! PUNETA!!!!

Cotto says he doesn't talk trash about his opponents, yet he said Martinez is nervous that his body will fall apart from previous injuries. Sounds like trash talk to me.

So is it safe to say that you pick Cotto to win over the absolute bum Martinez? Good luck with that.

Fans today love hype.

[Teetotaler]

Fellow King Cotto fans, I love Miguel as much as the next fan but let's be real here. Sergio's recent performances and injuries were definitely influential in Cotto's decision to challenge him. But on the other hand, Cotto is also past prime and shop worn himself which almost evens the playing field.

King cotto? Hahaha

You are confusing Cotto with someone else. Cotto has NEVER been a duck. Problem is, some of you guys struggle with the concept/reality that Cotto was NOT just going to jump to middle to face the "top" dog at middle in Serigo without testing the waters for a bit. Add to that... Sergio acting like a female and crying in every interview about NOT getting enough attention from Cotto in Mexico BACK in 2008??? You think Cotto wanted to feed him? You think Cotto was supposed to fight him right after Manny? Come on man... Cotto is one of the FEW fighters in the sport today, that actually like to push themselves and see what they are capable of. Sergio's injuries I think are being played up. Sergio knows his resume is weak and is already looking for an excuse should he lose to little short armed Miguel Balls Cotto.


Cotto is right. Psychology 101: Sergio is showing signs of nervousness... self doubt etc Why else would he be raging non stop?

Short and sweet: Sergio's knee is NOT the real handicap here... Cotto's stature, reach, stamina, issues with right arm post accident, tender skin post plaster, and overall lack of size, is the REAL handicap in this fight.

"good luck with that"... I guess thats all you have to say. Cant say anything to refute what I had posted? The truth does sting a little doesn't it.
