Sergio Martinez "I was on crutches until Dec 2013! Didn't know if I'd walk again"

[SweetPbfAli]

What I dont understand. How he looked better in the Murray fight with a bad knee. How come he did not look like that in the Cotto fight?

14 month layoff, post surgeries, better fighter, not in front of home crowd etc.

the ts should flatline this tired subject! Cotto won, punches to the head/temple knocked martinez down, sergios corner threw in the towel. We now have a new champion. for the people who were saying that martinez was gonna knock cotto out and are now saying its cause of the knees, you didnt say anything about the knees before, shut the f.u.ck up and get on with your lives. this is not gonna change the outcome of last saturday.

I think it's safe to say this thread is now officially closed.

You're delusional...literally the entire 24/7 part on Martinez revolved around his knee.

Cottotards are gonna milk him beating a cripple for as long as they can. This is his first "meaningful" win in years.

I didn't know a in question bad knee disables your ability to keep your lead hand above your cheek in a defensive posture.

Martinez hasssssssssssssss ALWAYS Kept that right hand down. That is what ultimately cost him the fight.

You're dumb, everything in boxing starts from the legs. From movement to actually throwing punches, requires strong legs.

Martinez's legs were beyond shot and its not a debate.

PutaRicans can keep milking this win but everybody that watched the fight knows Martinez was completely shot.

For the record i couldnt give a **** that Martinez got his ass beat, i care that he wasted my money on a fight that didnt belong on TV.

This should lay this all to rest.....

The adviser of Sergio Martinez said the aging fighter suffered a broken nose and no other injuries during Saturday's 10th-round stoppage loss to Miguel Cotto, whose victory for the RING and WBC middleweight championships at New York's Madison Square Garden made him the first Puerto Rican to earn four belts over as many different weight classes.

Sampson Lewkowicz also said that he has not addressed the notion of what is next for Martinez (51-3-2, 28 knockouts), a 39-year-old southpaw from Argentina.

"I don't think that he will be making any decision over the next few months. I think that he needs time to see how his body reacts and how he feels, mentally," said Lewkowicz, Martinez's advisor. "The people love him, he's an idol, but he doesn't need the money to fight again. If he asks my advice, I will give it to him, but it will be made to him, privately, and not to the public. He deserves that respect from me."

"As far as his injuries, the only thing that there was was a broken nose. His hands were perfect. No damage," said Lewkowicz. "The only thing is that he got caught in the first round within the first minute of the fight, and he couldn't recuperate."

I am telling you he suffered a concussion. Lay this leg ish to rest.

Yeah because if you cut off my legs I could not lift my arms up. Your not to bright.

My point is he would have gotten taged repeatedly by that left hook, 100% legs or 0% legs. His right hand is always down!

I'm not bright but you think a 40 year old man that just had 2 knee surgeries and was walking in crutches less than 6 months before is completely healthy.



But no you're right it was the new Freddie Roach Cotto is just such a monster. He'd probably KO Carl Froch at 168 what am i saying.
