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

[theocdog]

he wins like a real Champion and loses like one too. Respect for Martinez and his camp.

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

Yeah....I hope they give that man a shot at some big names because he is a powerhouse. Very awkward and strong, he would definitely make for some great fights.

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.

He survived 8 rounds because he was running and slipping as many punches as possible from rounds 2-9. If he would have chose to fight he would have got KOd in 2.

Btw, he was running pretty good on that bum knee. I guess that is what survival mode will do for a person.

The dude couldn't even plant his feet to throw a hard shot, and he was falling all over the ring and ropes by punches that didn't even land. I know it's hard to see with stan glasses on but every casual that saw the fight with me was asking why was Martinez fighting if he could barely walk around.

Of course Martinez and his team won't put any excuses, the alternative is saying that they knew Maravilla's legs didn't work and they conned the public into believing they did for a paycheck. Listen to the end of the fight when the trainer tells Sergio that his knees just won't do their part, that's all you need to know.

[Cotto's Stepson]

***** street =/= shot legs.

Now you know.

Exactly. Peasants want us dead.

His trainer was terrified and making excuses. Sergio admitted it was Cotto's hook that wrecked him.

[assiong]

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.

So what you saying is that all the people trying to make an excuse for Sergio are not real men? You know what? That! I agree with you completely.

[El Angel]

Respect again to Sergio for how he's conducted himself post-fight. The classy guy I always knew.

I know, like I'm gonna listen to what his trainer is saying. Trainers will tell their fighters anything to motivate them. Smh@ that guys lame nonsense.

These ****in bozos are horrible right now. I've never seen damage control of this stature.
