Comments Thread For: Team Martinez Has No Excuses, Just Credit For Cotto Loss

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Before Sergio Martinez’s fight with Miguel Cotto, the question had been about whether the injuries Martinez suffered to his right knee and left hand in his 2012 win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and his 2013 win over Martin Murray would have an affect on his performance.

After Cotto defeated Martinez on Saturday in Madison Square Garden in New York City, knocking him down three times in the opening round and scoring a stoppage when Martinez did not come out of his corner for the 10th, Martinez and his team said there were no excuses for what happened — just credit to the opponent that did it to him.

Sounds like they are covering something up. Dude clearly was on shot legs but I guess they want to avoid that since they kept saying they were 100%. Cotto was a monster in there but that wasn't the Sergio that I knew in there last night. I guess it's better to take the high road though, nothing wrong with that.

Like it should be,

He aint bitch made, he doesn't run out the ring in a hissy fit. Real Man takes his loses like a man.

Lol, nothing Martinez or his camp says corroborates anything these doctors (bozos) over here at NSB are saying.

I love it.

NSB: all kinds of doctorate analysis on Martinez knee)
Martinez: No, my knee was fine.

It's like two co-defendants turning against each other in two seperate interview rooms.

This rocks!

On a completely off handed topic, anyone else notice the HBO crew name dropping Abregu several times?

Naw man, the guy goes from throwing massive combinations to like one 4 punch combination the entire fight. Goes from rifling off jabs, averaging near 100 punches a round to like 20 a round. Cotto looked great but Sergio was recovered from that punch in the first, otherwise he wouldn't have come out for the second round or gotten stopped in the second.

He last 8 more rounds so, I don't totally buy that a single punch in the first caused him to not be able to get his shots off or move around properly. If he was so damaged from that single punch, how did he take the 6th round or whatever round that was? He seemed to have his wits about him in that round.

It's called not being able to do what you used to do a few years ago. You know, when your knees weren't all jacked up. He was falling into the ropes from punches that didn't even land, man. No one is trying to steal Cotto's gusto here, there was some obvious issues with Sergio that people are trying to ignore/hide.

From Sergio's team's side, I just think they want to keep the door open for future fights. I have never had any surgeries at all on my knees but they will occasionally swell and become tender to the point where I have to stop jogging or whatever I'm doing and chill out for the day. I know what it looks like when a knee gets weak and gives out a little and I saw that a couple times last night.
