Sergio's knee surgery

[Lords]

Well..... he is.

And, it doesn't really matter what some ****** said at the stare down.

What means the most is how the fighter looks in the fight. It's clear as day Martinez is done. It wasn't a back and forth war like Williams-Martinez where both fighters are letting punches go. Martinez couldn't pull the trigger, he couldn't move his upper body and his legs looked like a baby deer, and he had no punch resistance. He was slow and delicate.

Obviously he's not going to wana go toe to toe after taking that left hook shot. That wouldn't be smart and Sergio is no dummy.

Bull****

In the 12th round he went H2H with Chavez who is A HUGE puncher in comparison to Cotto.

[Da Boxer]

""He was never fully recovered from the knee surgery," said DiBella, noting that the injury made it very hard for Martinez to plant his feet. "The knee was OK early in the training camp but it wasn't perfect. But with three weeks left in camp, it got much worse. He probably would have postponed the fight if was in a normal arena. He was damaged goods going in against Murray.""

He had another 2 surgeries during the 14 month period before the Cotto fight. At 40 years old.

Just for reference NBA players play like **** after any sort of serious injury.

The difference is boxers are being punched by another person and dont have benchtime to rest.

The guy was a cripple by the time he was in the ring with Cotto. Get over it nobody with a brain thinks Cotto beat Martinez at even 50%.

Symptons of a "none" serious injury


You may not be able to straighten your knee

The knee can also feel "wobbly" or unstable,

or give way without warning.

especially torn ligaments, you may have increased pain, swelling, a feeling that the knee is unstable, and difficulty walking.

Pretty much saw all of that during the fight.

An example of the knee giving way far too easily would be knockdowns 2 & 3.

Sergio didn't even look dazed like somebody who got knocked half way across the ring should look.

Seriously stop, you guys are just Puerto Rican nut huggers. Nothing you guys say can be taken seriously because you have a built in bias.

Quotes from a forum of people with the same injury and recovered.

"I just tore it a few months ago in bjj and I think I am going to have get the surgery.. Everytime I go back and train and take a shot it like locks/catches and I literally cant move it at all and it hurts alot for about a minute until it resets"

"I've been in the same situation as you. Tore my meniscus playing basketball and didn't require surgery. I came back to playing basketball again 8 months after the injury and my knee swelled up after just one game"

"Did it constantly lock and just jam up when you made certain movements... I know for me its perfectly fine when I do certain things but whenever I grapple and take a shot it locks every single time"

And it almost cost him the fight and he learned from it. He got caught in the 12th round when both fighters were clearly tired and worn. Cotto caught him in the first round while both were fresh. Big difference.

Not really in terms of heart.

Cotto isn't that big of a puncher at middleweight, he didn't even rock Martinez.

Your name says it all. Your a joke and I highly doubt anyone besides your fellow trolls will ever take you seriously. This is a boxing website and you don't belong here.

Your an eyebrow shaving joke. Stick to selling papayas and stealing rims, you know nothing about boxing except for your gay lover.

[DannYankee]

Doesn't matter how well they put it back together after blowing that **** twice in a row it was never ever going to be the same even if he got to rest them for years. It showed that's all jeez christ people here are either over protective trying to defend cotto's balls or trying to completely discredit cotto not 1 fker in the middle ground aka reality.

Maybe you don't know but, Oscar has been taking liver shots deeeeep bro. I would not open that topic up. Just looking out for ya.

[ADP02]

those symptoms are right after the surgery..........(not after the recovery time) after recovery the leg should be fully stable

At least you are laughing on whatever you said ..... my brother still has problems many many years after the "incident". Every case is different and when you take into account that Martinez is now 39+, had 14 months of inactivity, multiple operations, went in the fight wanting a knee brace on both knees and looked the way he did proved that his knees were not the same knees as we saw back in his prime. Not even close!

Who would have thought Cottotards are worse than Pac-tards and flo mos?
