Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Promises More Power, New Moves in Comeback Bout

[Citizen Koba]

Damn Sergio, why you gotta do this? Ain't there a seniors league or something? You ever try Aikido?

Lol it puzzles me also, why does anyone think they can be better in any aspect of this sport at 45 than they were at 35. Even the successful old men like Foreman and Hopkin were shells of their former selves but their styles allowed them to beat younger champions with obvious flaws.

Like aging is real and it’s physically detrimental at his age. More worrying is that his style relied on speed and reflexes, he’ll look like a fool with his hands down by his side with almost no reaction time whatsoever. Hopefully he sticks to club level so we don’t have to see him get knocked silly by someone he would have toyed with a decade ago.

Yes, the real issue here is not whether Martinez knees are ok or not. It's about punch resistance, timing, and potential brain damage. Sad really.

You'll see new moves alright, because he's in a fkn wheelchair now. Wat till you see the one-wheeled spinning uppercut. It looks great when he pulls it off.

Couldn't even walk and push off his legs 10 years ago. Looked like **** vs Cotto.

Who sanctioned this?

[Buggy bear]

Could be worse, could be a certain 40 something out the ring for a decade fighting 25yr old Clarissa shields ..lol

I believe he believes.

Unfortunately, feeling like you can do things you used to do, doesn't translate into the ability to do them. I've been there and it's humbling but I guess that can only be learned the hard way.

[PugilistProd]

Sad, he must be running low on funds.

[The Old LefHook]

He promises new PEDs.
