Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Decides To Continue His Career

[PacmanP4PLegend]

I've always admired Serg, and at one time calculated him as occupying one of the top 3 spots in P4P rankings (along side PAC and Floyd), but something happened to him after that 12th round vs jr. He just didn't know what he was up against vs cotto and is probably retiring earlier than he originally hoped. That said, hope he takes a farewell in Argentina against a non-lethal like Anthony mundine or someone.

What the Fk...

I have yet to see the replay of the cotto fight because of how much distress it caused me to see Maravilla in that fight. Nor will I ever I mean EVER watch it again. I had residual effects for about a week, feeling down about how the fight went. He'll always be one of my favorites and though I don't want to see him beat up like that again and wouldnt mind if he retired, Id like to see him go out on his shield with a good win. Maybe even against GGG. Now in before People start saying he'd get murdered a guy can dream can't he?

i felt the same way after the fight man

Pride don't pay the bills folks.......this is about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'s!
Picking up the pennies as I've told you many times, its what "named fighters" do.
Where they going to K-Mart as a greeter?
Vegas as a greeter no one knows who he is!
My guess would be spaghetti westerns in Spain or Argentina, not bad!

If he takes on any of the top fifteen guys he gets squashed, legs are gone.

Lewkowitz said he had saved up a very substantial amount of money throughout his career and would never have to work a day in his life if he chose not to. I think it's a pride thing

No reason to continue his career after the beating he took with those bum knees. Very dissapointed with these news. He's a 39 year old looking to erase the image people have of him from his last fight. True boxing fans will remember him as the legit middleweight king and not the shot Sergio that fought Cotto. It's either a pride thing or a money issue although Sergio has been on record saying if he keeps boxing it won't because he has no other options post-retirement.

Coming of 2 knee surgeries for a boxer at 39 years old is no joke. The injuries he suffered in the 12th round with Chavez was the beginning of the end for him. Maravilla has guts ill give him that. One thing is for sure, even with Sergio returning to fight we won't see the true Maravilla that ruled the MW division 2008-2012.

NSB Poster before Cotto: A 70% Martinez wrecks Cotto

NSB Poster after Cotto: Martinez was shot and a had no Knees

Sergio Martinez: I got caught by a huge left hook and never recovered, my legs are fine

Sampson Lewckowics: Martinez got hurt by a left hook and never recovered, his knees are fine

Lol seriously man. On top of the fact Cotto has been whooped bad against Cheato and Pac still is able to focus, train hard and resurrect his career. He should be shot to **** but that shows how great of a competitor/champion Cotto is.

watch Martinez KO his next opponent, and people looking like idiots saying Cotto only won because Martinez was shot

Not trying to make this a Cotto thread, just making a point based how it was a punch and not his knees that put Martinez in jeopardy.

yeah that knees vs left hook debate was well talked about after the fight. Nothing new there. Its one thing for a promoter/fighter/manger to cover up issues in order to protect certain interests. Problem is people are not blind and we can see when something is so evident as was the case with Sergio that night.
