I didn't hear any of these excuses before the fight.
Ridiculous. Why not read what Roach himself said? He took the fight because they knew Martinez was an "old man" with totally destroyed legs.
Everybody knew Martinez's health was an issue BEFORE the fight:
"Martinez is coming into the fight with plenty of question marks surrounding his health. His right knee has been operated on after each of his past two outings and the one following his win on April 27, 2013, over Martin Murray in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was very significant."
