Never thought Martinez would've been this bad

Jesus give Cotto some credit. You guys have been overplaying the knee since they called a sleeve a brace. The knee did not do him in, the first rd did. He said he never recovered from a punch in the first round and that the knee had nothing to do with it. I thought for sure that he'd fake a limp if he got into serious trouble but they threw in the towel instead.

Re-read my last entry before this- I SAID COTTO CAME UP FOR THE FIGHT AND POUNCED ON HIM.

But, let us not diminish what knee problems can do to a fighter- sure, they fight with their hands, but if he can't move he can't move. Sergio was a sitting duck.

Even if he was 100% the fight was tough for him. Cotto does get credit for dispatching a lame duck in early fashion, the way he was supposed to.

If Cotto took the fight hard and couldn't finish him off the way he did, we would have questions about Cotto's ability.
