That was definitely not the same Martinez that beat Pavlik and Williams, but Cotto still did a very good job in there. Props to him for taking the chance to make history. Lets see if Mayweather still considers Martinez too big. lol

He beat up the man who beat down the man who twice beat the man who was long reighning MW kingpin B Hop. To call Maravilla a Hypejob is absurd.

Are people really acting like this win means anything. Martinez was completely shot.
I like cotto as much as the next guy but come on that fight was a farce. Martinez was there for the paycheck, I guaratntee Martinez didnt even spar once for this fight. The guy has a bum knee.
Get ready for mayweather-cotto 2...the fakest lineal middleweight championship ever. Also lets be real.... Roach didnt change chit. This is the same cotto that got outboxed by Trout and Mayweather. The Cotto of 140 and 147 is gone, the guy couldnt even stop a guy with a busted knee. That was NOT a real KO.

This isn't that surprising. Martinez with his physical gifts waning is left vulnerable, with no conventional defense, against a guy with a far better pure boxing pedigree. Martinez was vulnerable against guys who weren't by any means the elite of the elite... but had tight, technical offense and didn't give him many openings to strafe with his left hand from the outside. Macklin, Dzinziruk, barker. Martinez was the vastly more talented fighter but was trouble by all of the aforementioned because they could exploit his technical flaws to some degree.
Throw a guy like Cotto in there who has an extensive amateur background, accomplished at the top level of professional boxing, and has been refining his skills and reverting to what served him best in his prime years.... it was a perfect storm of circumstances and conditions.

I agree with him, Cotto exposed Martinez. Skills pay the bills.

Martinez walking like he couldnt even bend his legs/feet lol. Looking like a slick Cornelius Bundrage with that stiffness. Lmao.
