If your soo injured, then dont fight.

[FerFAL]

Every fighter has a last great fight. Sergio's was against a bigger doped up Chavez, and he managed to win with broken knees and one hand only. The last two fights, those he shouldn't have fought given his condition.

[Showtime..]

"I'm a ***** and I won't fight because of an injury."
Lebron got leg cramps, couldn't play, and people started crucifying him. I hate Bron, but even I understand that what he was going through.
Cottards would call Martinez smut for backing out of the fight. Ofc he isn't going to say that he has weak knees that one small knee-collision would ruin him, there's to much pride in that. Froch admitted that he is gonna avoid Ward for a rematch, and while I don't like the attitude(btw screw Froch, he got lucky vs Bute), but I see his position that he got beaten badly once, he doesn't want it again.

Sadly martinez doesn't train as boxers do. For eexample he rode cross country cycling which isggreat for legs, but your knees take a lot of impact because it's so bouncy.

He was an athlete with an awkward style. Perhaps if he had learned to box at8 he would have not had such injuries.

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

LMAO @ ur casual fan logic

So what your basically saying is , Lie for the payday.

You just accused Martinez of being their just for the paycheck.

That's how far your going to go to discredit a boxer's victory?

Sergio just looked worn out, and old

You could see it in the last 4 rounds of the Julio Jr fight.

He simply got old, pretty sad really

[R_Walken]

The guy was out for 14 months and had 3 knee surgeries. Martinez looked like he didnt even kno how to fight in that first round. Who want's to bet there was ZERO sparring in the Martinez training camp.

^^^^^^
Good post

I was going to mention the same thing about the no sparring. I remember Martinez trainer mention they do minimal sparring prior to fights . Add to that the knee surgeries.

He looked completely lost in the first round. Martinez gambles with his knee and preparation and paid the price.

o my god, now sergio has 3 surgeries??

If the knees bothering him so much, change the style! dont relied on athletisicm so much. many great athletes still have great career after suffer horibble injuries by making adjustment.

Ps : sergio already said that his knees is not bothering him, is cotto left hook that bother him.

Sergio should have warm-up match before cotto.

It's so funny. The same people that predicted Martinez would win by KO, are the same people making a variety of excuses for the stoppage.

[Syf]

Martinez just wasn't the same... Didn't have the same bounce in his step.. Or the same zip in his straight left.


Cotto looked good though. That left hook was landing all night, and it looked sharp.

[junior gong]

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!

No ******, Floyd cant have a cheap lineal title. He already had one of those against Baldomir.
