Sergio Martinez retires

[Wizardsh]

If only he started young he would have been an atg. His career would look so different right now

"I am a boxer, my knee is shattered. I am 40 years old, I'm getting wrinkles and my hair is falling out," Martinez was quoted as saying in Argentina's La Nacion daily on Monday.

Damn chavez ruined him.

Fun career. Great fights.

Geez...that's brutal. Hopefully, he finds himself a good gig and makes a nice mint during his life after boxing.

Yeah. Absolutely no disrespect to Martinez, but that quote came out of nowhere and had me rolling. I was expecting him to just discuss the state of his knee but it came off like when you ask your grandfather how he's doing and he just starts rambling about his medical problems.

Next thing we know he'll be telling reporters about his constipation.

[ßringer]

Anyway, hasta la vista, Sergio.

You were a great champion in and out of the ring.

@maravillabox did NOT announce his retirement today. His words were taken out of context folks. #boxing

Hope he gets a job on ESPN deportes or something. He's very intelligent and well spoken.

So, he's not balding and wrinkly either?

WTF?

[ИATAS]

That's weird because according to Puerto Ricans he was in his prime and 100% healthy when Cotto beat him. So strange he went to prime to shot old man with blown out knees in a year. Crazy stuff.

The quote was taken before he had a hair transplant, anti aging cream and hip replacement.

He's fine now, see?
