DIBELLA: "NO problem with the knee or hand... Martinez was taking a BEATING."

[Dirk Diggler UK]

The conspiracy theories are about Martinez being so unhealthy that the commission was bribed to clear him for the fight.

That is the level of humanity that some Martinez fans reduce themselves to.

I don't think the commission was bribed. Whether he should have been cleared to fight is up for debate. It's one thing to move around on your own but when you have someone there trying to take your head off and you have to punch back, it's a different story.

where is the proof? if he injured his knees in this fight where is the proof? (is he gonna have immediate surgery?) or did he sprang his knee? what actually happened? the burden of proof is on YOU. because I'm going by what martinez has confirmed with his own words, & the updates regarding what medical attention they give to his knees (and theres been none)


the burden of proof is on you because I've rest my case (me along with martinez himself)

Well I don't think he mentioned the knees in the Murray post-fight. It all came out after. We'll soon find out if he re-injured his knee. Either way, his knees were clearly not fully recovered.

You're putting too much emphasis on what he said in the post-fight. Cotto said nothing about the catchweight against Pacquaio in the post fight but it came out from him later. You need to stop desperately clinging to what he said in the interview.

No excuses.

Dude the proof is clear as long as you're not choking on Cottos ****. Even Cottos conditioning guy...during 24/7 said something along the lines of "Why is Martinez wearing a metal braces if he isnt injured".

do you know how many people wear patella straps or sleeves around their knee? it doesn't mean their injured. it gives more stability to your legs because you don't wanna GET injured again (thats all that is) look at the many NBA players who wear them. it literally has nothing to do with being currently injured (because trust me, a patella strap won't do squat if you have any problems with your legs)

DiBella and Martinez can tell us what ever they want but Martinez in that ring clearly wasn't the same anybody can see that!

None of those NBA players are fighting 12 round fights ffs.

When is the last time you've seen a Top Level boxer wear one other than Martinez and Yuri Foreman?

dude..........A acl injury is a ACL injury. a blown knee is a blown knee. (thats boxing, tennis, football, soccer) any sport. the straps are relatively new to boxing (thats why the commission had such a beef with it) but you better believe theres been countless of guys who've had leg injuries.


I'm telling you from first hand experience. A strap has nothing to do with being currently injured (**** all to do with it) some people use it in recovery & then gain attached to it (it adds more stability)

thats why i don't know why dirk diggler mentioned

"Yeah, the fact that both his knees were heavily strapped"

have you guys actually even played sports in your life before?

Why he was wearing the braces is irrelevant. Regardless Martinez is coming off 2 career threatening surgeries. He said himself he could barely walk just 6 months ago. He might of been wearing those braces cause he was attached to them or he just wanted to play it safe.

Either way it was clear as day Martinez was a shell of his former self.

[RSBonos]

Dibella has no shame. What happened to looking out for his fighters health like he did with Taylor (and always had to drone on about to make himself look like a good guy)? It sounds like he wants to squeeze out another payout out of a broken man. What a great big phony.

[WarMaidana]

what did you expected, martinez is a gentleman, he wasn't going to put any excuse. he gave cotto his props, did cotto give margarito props when he beat him up the first time? oh no... the plaster doe

real talk. And these cottohoes are delusional, so they didn't see his lead leg dragging around like it couldnt move and everytime his knee buckled it was just a fluke

"i was calm until i saw him putting in those 2 knee braces, damn it, i'm nervous now"

that's before the fight even started
