did sergio cash out?

Yes, but the knee very well coulda been the reason how well he coulda taken punches. You gotta look at it from both angles.

Meh, as much as I want to convince myself of that,

Those hooks caught him clean, bottom line.

I don't think the knees would play a significant role in his ability to absorb a punch. Gravity is doing all the work in keeping your relation to the ground, aside from where you place your feet. That instinct is doing all the work by putting them into the right spot, you'll be bracing to absorb the punishment naturally.

Plus, keeping your hands up doesn't have much to do with how bad your knees hurt/function... but that's neither here nor there

The knees would play a factor in the mobility, which to me looked fine all night because he was on his bicycle the entire time. If you watch the fight, there isn't a moment where Sergio isn't circling to his left (which was actually pretty odd to see a southpaw do so adamantly).

That kind of ignores that we all saw Martinez looking gimpy the entire fight.

No it doesn't, because it doesn't matter. He was positive he was going to win that fight, injured or not.

Cotto was the most skilled fighter serg had ever faced and it showed,,, cotto was able to use superior skill to bomb at will on serg.. This wasn't Chavez jr, pavlik, Williams, cintron,, this was a multi weight titlist first ballot hall of famer cotto..

Where was that superior skill when he fought Trout? Any1 can look superior when they beat a guy with bum knees.

Cotto's left hook turned it into a "cash out" fight for Sergio.

Styles make matchups, and the rangy jabbing southpaw would always cause cotto problems.. And trout is pretty fundamentally sound and much more than serg

LOL, i needed a good laugh. Maybe Cotto can fight someone with 2 healthy eyes and 2 healthy legs. Who knows if he even fights Canelo.

[Chuckguy]

Of course he cashed out! It's only obvious. He was damaged goods and he knew it. Look at the 24/7 they showed hardly any footage of Sergio training. He picked on the smaller Cotto and Cotto came out I'm beast mode and steam rolled him

So you think serg is more fundamentally sound than trout? Because he's not.. Serg may be the better fighter between him and trout, but trout has a much more refined boxing technique..

And are you implying cotto won't fight canelo, because cotto pretty much has fought everyone throughout his career..

Prime undefeated maussa
Prime undefeated Torres
Prime undefeated pinto
Prime undefeated Pauli
Prime chop chop
Prime Judah
Close to prime Shane
Prime margarito
Prime at his peak manny
Undefeated p4p best Floyd
Undefeated prime trout
Middleweight champ serg

But somehow you don't think cotto has the balls to fight canelo.. SMH

Dude neither chop chop nor Judah were prime when they fought Cotto and Mosley was prime.
I don't think he meant Cotto doesn't have the balls because his resume and moving up to MW show he does. He meant let's see how he does against Canelo someone who isn't a gimp
