      The commission is hypocritical to say the least, it allows Yuri to perform with an eloborate knee brace during the fight with Cotto and was beat soundly. Yet, Martinez cannot wear a brace? There has been some reports that there is a clear distinction between a brace and a knee strap - one of which may be detrimental to the other fighter if they clash knees. Personally, while clashing of knees may occur with fighters I think it's a bit of a stretch.

      Eitherway, Martinez is going to rock Cotto (assuming his knee is healthy).

              He has to have something to keep Sergio honest, not only is he slower but might not hit hard enough to keep Sergio from doing whatever he wants.

                  they are allowing a sleeve not a brace

                  this is the link on Dibella's post

                  seems like martinez is pretty upset.

                  maybe his knee isn't 100%

                    This is what I'm predicting.

                    I love Cotto, but he has no real impressive wins at 154, let alone 160. I think Martinez will knock him out. Too big.

                      Lol at this people saying Sergio will win because he has more power. Sergio is not a power puncher at all, he has decent pop. Second Cotto has a better jab, better timing, better technique and better defense. From what we know he might as well have better movement than Sergio.

                      Second co.paring Cotto to Pavlik is ridiculous, yes Pavlik hit hard, but he was a first face, 1-2 brawler with no movement, Cotto will be moving all over the place hitting Martinez from diferentes angles, and ripping Martinez to the body. Has never faced a fighter like Cotto, and he will be reminded Saturday night!
