Outstanding Analysis: Cotto vs Martinez
Collapse
-
Man, most of this he had a bad knee talk came from Roy Jones Jr. during the fight.
Max at least kind of shut him up when he mentioned the truth. Martinez didn't have a problem when he walked in the ring. He had a problem after he got hit.
Martinez was moving around fine until the first hard left hook landed. Martinez went jelly and it was all down hill in the 1st round after that. It had nothing to do with his leg even if Yeah he might have a weak leg in "general". It didn't mean he would have a weak leg immediately in the first round. You think that wouldn't have come out in sparring? Cmon.
It's a discredit to Cotto's excellent fight plan which was on display at all times. Even when Martinez's leg "recovered" if you will during the remaining rounds, he was being out boxed beautifully in a way that a younger version of Martinez wouldn't have beat that Cotto.
But, haterz gonna hate.Last edited by ELPacman; 10-15-2014, 02:51 PM.Comment

You went off topic, we can go there too,
heres a quote from Martinez last visit to his Knee Doctor
Sep 18,2014
Martinez, who would like to continue to fight, wanted to get an opinion from the doctor on whether his knee would hold up if he elected to keep boxing.
The knee has been a major problem for Martinez since he first injured it when he was knocked down in the 12th round of a lopsided decision win against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in September 2012 and had subsequent surgery.
Martinez hurt it again in his next fight, a decision win against Martin Murray, in April 2013 and again needed surgery.
"The first thing I want to hear from the doctor is that my leg is going to be good enough that I can live a normal life and that I can have a normal leg like a normal person," he said. "I still have some pain I feel in my right leg. But if the doctor says I'm 100 percent or I will be 100 percent then I will continue [boxing]. If he doesn't say that then I won't fight anymore. I don't need to fight because my health is very important to me."

Exactly. I didn't even mention that while Cotto has looked great, it's not like he's the young Cotto either.That means what?? That means what we just saw didn't actually happen???
Cotto hasn't been prime since like '09 though. Lol
Exactly! Serg was suppose to **** lil jr mw Cotto at mw. Instead, he got his **** rocked. And this video shows the monster left hooks being landed perfectly. Idc, prime Cotto beats prime Sergio. Might not trash him but he stills beats him.Comment

His legs were clearly shot to ****. How are you even typing if you're blind? I didn't know they made Braille Keyboards.Comment

Martinez pushed himself up on his right knee on the 2nd KD. The one RJJ said "His knee is gone!" and Lamps ran with it. Cotto apparently can tear apart your knees and break your hands when he punches you in the face, according to Martinez fans and Mayorga. That's special power that even GGG can't touch.Comment
