      Mclcelan was going up in weight for the first time to fight one of the top guys at that weight
      Rubbish. No one expected Benn to walk out. Everyone picked him to get knocked out.
      Benn was a huge underdog

        But noone thought cotto would dominate in such fashion. Or roach is just really good at assessing injuries in favor of his fighters and weight a draining guru

            Good at assessing injuries? It doesnt take a guru to see that Martinez's knees have been shot. He showed it in the Murray fight.

            Idk about domination but I predicted Cotto winning via corner stoppage in the late arounds. Ask anyone I talked to. Including Cu****uy.

            Cotto cherrypicked that fight and it worked.

              Just because Benn was an underdog doesn't mean it was a cherry pick. Obviously Benn was an established fighter, he was a champion at 168. That would be like saying Jeff Lacy cherry picked Calzaghe just because Lacy was thr favorite.

                  Martinez thought Cotto was going to be too small and slow. Martinez is the cherry picker here. It doesn't matter if his knees were shot.

                    Cotto PICKED Martinez. Martinez didnt PICK Cotto. The A side picked B side. Why would the B side turn down that much money?

                    There's a reason why Cotto chose Martinez over the other MW champs. He knew it. He knew what was wrong with Martinez and it played out just as planned.
