martinez: "it was a punch and not the knee"

[Dirk Diggler UK]

dude, you can't know ANYTHING in the first few seconds. (all you can do is speculate at that point) and when martinez is telling you that it wasn't his knee it was A punch that he never recovered from we have to take that into account. also cotto was timing martinez. martinez is use to fighting guys like chavez jr. who plods slowly to him (with zero to no defense) it's easy to use your athleticism against a guy like that. but cotto was very carful and exploded at the right times (in no way shape or form did cotto follow martinez around the ring)

Yes you can and I turned to my friend and said "his knees are ***ed". He was hobbling around all gimpy, his lead leg was completely stiff. I don't need Sergio to clarify what I can see with my own two eyes.

Nice to see him admit that which was pretty evident early on anyway..That initial punch that hurt and wobbled him in the 1st was clearly on the head and not on the kneecaps. Just in case some people were wondering of course.

[Cotto's Stepson]

Martinez is much too humble to make excuses even though it was clearly evident he wasn't anywhere close to 100%.

He was not 100% against Cotto because Cotto is not 50% like Chavez Jr. I said it before the fight: Cotto was a level above what Sergio was used to fighting. You guys should have known this. So lets keep it real here and admit that Pavlik being 70% the fighter he was, and Chavez comin into the fight at 60%, had you kids thinking Sergio was something he was not. Cotto took Sergio to a new level he had yet to visit and he knew it after the first hook. The fear in Sergio's eyes, the lack of confidence. His knees were great, his heart and chin were broken. I say we take a moment of silence to remember the longest reigning hype job in recent times, Mara Villa. Take note: Sergio did not keep his hands at his sides much last night. He knew the deal.

this, martinez is a gentleman, he won't make any excuses like cotto.... plasters, right?

martinez has made excuses after fights before. martinez has absolutely NO problem telling you when he's injured after a fight. so are you saying that martinez lied about being injured & blamed not regaining his legs back on A left hook All for cotto? WTF................i don't understand you guys. but we are gonna dig deep into this.

Can't really expect a guy to have a subjective opinion when his screen name is "Cotto's Stepson" and he has pictures of Cotto plastered all over his profile.

Because as a hater, you needed a quick excuse to sleep better at night. A rational person would turn to his "friend" and say, "holy sht Cotto's hook just landed and Sergio is dying!" Bro, cut it out. The dream is dead.

I guess Martinez really didn't have 2 knee surgeries in the past year.
I think the sleeves were all cosmetic too.

He was out running marathons and **** while not being able to walk for a long time.


Cotto did great, and won yes. No argument.

No way was Sergio 100% and it would look bad for him to say his knee was bad because he wanted the payday.

He was a much better sport about the loss than Cotto would have been.

That's for damn sure.

Lol, so many excuses. You all knew about the surgeries yet still ragged on about how Cotto was going to destroyed. Now Marinez is a shot gimp, is it just that hard to admit that Cotto is the better man.

I said it after about 10 seconds when nothing had happened. He was dragging his lead leg around. He couldn't bend his right leg to avoid the left hook.

martinez: "it was a punch and not the knee"

Martinez never said that.

martinez won the fight against murray (if you believe he didn't i won't argue that, it was close i'm talking about the oficial result) no excuses, he was telling the truth, he was ****ed up there, and here he was giving cotto some props. now what about the plaster? that was no excuse??
