Hbo:cotto v martinez

[cyclone]

Wow, I was wrong on this one! Cotto looked good but he needs to stay away from GGG. Canelo may be too much as well, but that is a very good match up. Interesting to see who is next.

No disrespect to cotto byt ggg by death if that ever happens

based on what?

GG was getting walked into right hands by the slow and basic Adama.

Cotto is no shot to hell Kassim Ouma.

Martinez took all the guess work out of what happened by explaining he never recovered from that first hard shot. Of course the weakest part of his body his knee show up, I though it was a good decision for Martinez' corner to throw in the towel.

That first round was just horrible to watch. It really wasn't so much that Cotto was being a monster, it was simply that Martinez had no coordination and kept falling down. You saw from the first 30 seconds the condition he was in. It was a very cynical ploy on the part of the Cotto team and I now think it rather despicable. However, Martinez signed to fight and being an intelligent man, should have known better. Cotto is a good fighter and you don't play games signing up to fight good fighters when you are effectively shot.

Reading through this thread with comments about a career defining fight and masterclass. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. You don't have a career defining fight against a man who is half disabled. The obvious fact of disability is a slight detraction to such claims. I felt like I was watching a bit of a freakshow during that first round and it was unpleasant seeing it go on and for some to claim it has meaning. Please.

Where do you find the post fight presser?

Only saw the 1st 3 rounds. 1st round KDs came from nothing punches. Cotto fought well but Martinez had nothin left. Shame. I'd say Alvarez will go for Cotto next.

Martinez is one of my favorites fighters he was great in he's prime. Taking nothing for Cotto he had a great game plan and look better then he ever has and he deserved the win great showing by him. He has big pay day fights set up for him now. Great fight by him

Oh how sour the grapes are. People picked against Cotto regardless of Martinez's issues and now that he got thumped he's shot. People claimed Cotto was more shot then he was but now that Cotto kicked his ass .....bla bla bla.
