NYSAC Wont Allow Sergio Martineze to wear a Knee Brace vs. Cotto.

[J_Undisputed]

Sergio Martinez won’t be allowed to wear knee brace for Cotto fight on Saturday

Is the deck already being stacked against Sergio? Is cotto hoping for another Yuri Foreman? Yanno, I really couldn't understand why Sergio was getting so upset with Cotto's requests before... Now i'm just hoping Sergio Makes good on his prediction for Cotto to not make it out of the 9th round.

oops sorry for the typo in the title.

Wow that's some straight up horse shit

[Beanflicker]

For Cotto nuthuggers who were going on about how brave Cotto was for moving up a division (well, kind of) to fight Sergio, here's the reality check:

He's fighting a 39 year old who needs a KNEE BRACE to fight.

If the old overrated fag don't like it,he can move on and fight somebody else.

A wheel chair it is then, this will make it far more riveting.

Man what took me so long to add cylone idiot to the ignore list...hope serg can pull it out but this isn't good

Cotto haters need to at least try to be objective. What is Martinez doing defending his title using a knee brace? What next an arm brace because somebody has a shot elbow? Why should he be able to get leverage advantage through artificial means? This is ridiculous and if that injury is that bad then quit fighting.

[Kirkland Laing]

Cotto is the house fighter here. The NYSAC are doing everything they can to extend his career.

If Sergio wins comfortably on points how confident will he feel in the ring afterwards waiting for the decision?

I find this slur to be incredibly offensive, insensitive, and inexcusable in this public forum.

I demand that you apologize, take ownership, and make restitution.


I have a delicate constitution, y'know...

...You could also include needing xylocaine injections in the hands to numb them to be able to fight. But then a guy'd only be able to fight in Nevada because xylocaine in the hands in banned by most other athletic commissions in the USA.

Why are they doing this tho this time? Yuri had a brace on when he defended against cotto I'm sure there are other examples and this doesn't seem to usually be banned

Martinez should pull out of the fight if the conditions aren't suiting him.
He's the champion. He's anti bullying... Just walk away and choose to defend against someone else.

Agreed... Martinez is the undisputed champion of the world and should have never agreed to these bullshit terms in the 1st place. I like Cotto but the whole A side B side crap is nonsense when it comes to respect to the champion and Cotto should have understood that. You want the belts come and get them on a level playing field.

I don't buy that in this case and I called Cotto on his stupid weight demand and name appearing first on the banner.Again, if that knee is still that fk'd up then Martinez should have retired. He does not have a special right to gain leverage through artificial means anymore then someone has to do steroids. What next an elbow brace for arm extension of full fake limb? A great play for a built in excuse though.

[beenKOed]

Are they talking about an actual mechanical brace or the pull on, over the knee elastic type?
