I don't give Cotto much credit for that, he picked his way to a title, and most would look good against this 39 year old Martinez.

Step up Cotto and beat a fighter in his prime for ooh maybe the first time in half a decade. I feel sorry for Martinez, but he shouldn't have fought. He must have known his condition, he is smart. Little credit for that.
If you fight you get paid, and I don't blame him for grabbing this last payday.
I didn't see the fight but from what you guys described, Martinez was dead in the water, no steering, no power, and no fuel.
I'll remember him the way he looked In the second Williams fight.
Good for Cotto, I hope he makes the the most of his win.
I like both those fighters and wasn't looking forward to seeing either one of them losing.
