I agree with that... martinez wearing stupidly long shorts to hide this indicated to me he was having serious problems... but martinez was on noodle legs after the first real punch from cotto and I dont think that can be put on his knee surgery... the guy was lucky to survive the first round against a smaller guy, thats not good, martinez has bigger problems than his knees it seems :S... he's been knocked down in his previous 4 fights I think... the guy is finished.. Good work from cotto he fought great but it was very opportunistic match making so cottos team get a big assist but he beat the guy who was the champ fair and square... so their cant really be many complaints... 1 pound below the middleweight limit is not that big...
