Martinez's Trainer Wants Sergio to Retire

[mathed]

He should retire but I have a feeling he won't. If he was willing to fight like that once he may be willing to do it again. when you look back despite being recognized as a division king, he didn't really get that many big paydays. I wonder what his financial situation is like.

DiBella talked about his financial situation like Sergio was extremely frugal or something. He stated that he didn't have to work another day for the rest of his life if he didn't want to, that he was very wise with his money. Not sure how much he has but it sounded like he was well off.

I noticed how he was whipping his head under the rope instead of bending his knees i was like wtf..about a minute in i knew he was done...great fighter one of my favs but its over for la maravilla

I saw that in the training vids too and thought it was strange that he wasn't clearing the lines.

How much will his people want to watch him coming off of this defeat?

They'll back him in this, especially if it's a farewell fight.

He repped them well

he needs to fight bums in argentina and retire happy with all the men he wants if he keeps going against top comp he will be the Argentine Roy Jones with bad knees

I doubt Sergio could even last against a tune up with those knees.

If Sergio fights even ONE more fight and looks half decent i will take what i said back.

But as it stands the Martinez that fought Cotto was completely shot.

There should be a pamphlet issued to fighters when they turn pro. They sign a form indicating their boxing style, and the pamphlet they receive will help guide them through their career as a fighter.

Sergio would have gotten the "pure athleticism" pamphlet (the one with Roy Jones printed on the cover) where it says in big, bold, red letters:

You will one day grow old in one night, and you will face the urge to continue fighting despite this, but you must be strong enough, wise enough, and have enough financial planning to step away from the sport at that moment.

agree with his style he should retire

[Hyper Knuckles]

Cotto retires another one

Another one of these threads. What's the point? You'll have people who agree with you, and you'll have people who won't. At this point, you're not gonna sway anyone. Anyway, yes Sergio should retire.
