If your soo injured, then dont fight.

I agree. There is no way Sergio should have stepped into the ring tonight. He probably can't even jog 500 meters anymore. There's no way in hell he should be participating in any sport other than darts or chess.

[JOSH OF LA]

Darts requires good foot positioning.

"if ur soooooooo injured, then don't take 1.5 million dollars"

[Weltschmerz]

It is not very champion like retiring in that fashion. What a joke.

great post

everyone should remember sergio as a great HOF middleweight champion , because that's what he was

hes good but what exactly makes him a HOFer???

Noone is 100 percent when they fight, alot of fighters deal with injuries, if martinez was so injured he shouldnt of got in there....he was still the heavy favourate going in to the fight and cotto shocked the world and made history, deal with it!

That's why he didn't use his knee as an excuse. He chose to fight so he took responsibility for the loss.

His knee was still an issue though. No one knows how recovered a knee is until it has to support your body weight while your body contorts at strange angles, which is what happens when a hook lands.

It didn't hold up, but Martinez recognised it's not an excuse. He's a champion in every sense of the word.

Yea and how many fighters are financially secure enough to just turn down big fights? How much has Martinez made in his career? Could even afford to do that and pass up on this fight despite his condition? The answer is no....

[Russian Crushin]

Any fighter would have done the sane in his position, its just very upseting to see

[Bigg Rigg]

He said he was totally healed and predicted a knockout. Think I give a **** if he wasn't completely healthy??? Hell no!
