Cotto vs Martinez | Great Upsets in Boxing Free Fight

[@Jwilli1455]

Martinez was over the hill, bad knees and at the end of his career for sure. You have to give him respect because he was beaten from the first round and fought with a warrior’s heart and great courage. Cotto has excellent boxing skills and fought a brilliant fight. He took command and landed good punches when the opportunity was there, defended well when it wasn’t, and showed great patience when he had Martinez hurt…never got excited and reckless. Cotto gave us some great fights.

Wow, I've never seen a boxer with a knee brace on both legs and didn't even know that was permitted within the rules! I think it hampered Martinez rather than helped him in the end.

En el campamento se mostró como para entrenar usaba una bicicleta en lugar de correr por que era imposible con la rodilla en ese estado. La cuestión fué que Martinez le debía por contrato a top rank 3 peleas, y le quedaban dos, y como estaba en el mejor momento de su carrera ( en términos de negocio claro está ), decidió enfrentar a Cotto a quien ya habia querido enfrentar en el pasado por este nunca habia querido por que no era convniente economicamente. Era obvio lo que iba a pasar en la pelea, apenas lo toca Cotto y se cae es prueba irrefutable de que le falta una pierna. Cotto no tiene pegada para hacer tremendo daño, nunca se caracterizó por eso. No tiene mala pegada tampoco (70%ko) pero es más tecnico que pegador. En mi opinión Martinez debió esperar más tiempo para su recuperación pero como digo negocios son negocios y habia que aprovechar que estaba en la mirada de todos. Las ventas fueron un exito, y Martinez le quedó debiendo una pelea a top rank.

U can tell in the first seconds of the fight sergio was not moving around like normal and was very flat footed very unlike sergio at his prime. Also a year after this fight sergio was in the news promoting his gym and the news reporter asked sergio if they can dance and sergio politely said he can't because he has a bad knee

[@Mark-fr7yv]

Don't fight with bad knees or any base injuries. It probably effecting his training too.

[@saltedllama2759]

That's his fault for accepting the fight then. I mean, Cotto is also an enormously underrated fighter for his time because he fought in the same era as Pacquiao and Mayweather (who's face he actually dinged up pretty good), and was plaster-cheated by Margarito the first time they fought which he never really fully recovered from.

[@787puertorico]

as a cotto fan ill admit the knee did make a difference. That doesnt take credit from cotto but its obvious bro. I saw allot of Sergio Martinez fights dude always fought with his hands down and movement around the ring becuase ive seen allot of sergio fights i could tell right away his knees were shit but hey a win is a win.

[@RichardTheGreat210]

You cant fight on bum knees bro. Same thing happened to benavidez when he fought crawford. Your legs are what give you your balance in this game

[@javiersalazar713]

I am 100% agreeing with both of you. I’m js before the fight no one was picking cotto to win everyone thought that Martinez was gonna dominate him then when he didn’t they had the excuse and taking credit away from Cotto.

[@mr.nobody9697]

Only they werent excuses. Sergio legs looked completely shot in this fight. He had absolutely no business being in the ring with a fighter of Cotto level or at all actually. 39, 14 month layoff after both knee surgeries and a shoulder surgery. Cotto faced a fighter that was nowhere near what he was at his peak.

[@bliskin8847]

@@javiersalazar713 Well, had it been common knowledge that his knee surgery wasn't a 100% success, and that he needed to wear knee braces when doing any sort of movements. Well, the odds would not have been in Sergio's side. The healthy Martinez that dismantled Kelly Pavlik would have defeated Cotto, however, we got a shadow of his former self. It was clear from the opening bell that he did not have the same foot work. Not Cotto's fault, and he took care of business like he was supposed to against a lame duck. It is not one of Cotto's greatest accomplishments, I think beating Margarito in the second fight (despite his style being tailor made for Margarito) was one of his greatest accomplishments. This win is no different than his win against Yuri Foreman, another boxer that relied on movement, yet went into the ring with bad knees (FYI- Yuri can still fight, even with the limited mobility).

I love how some of these dudes are still making the knee excuse, but at 24:20 Martinez turned into Usain Bolt to try to sucker punch Cotto. Don't get me wrong Martinez was a very good fighter, it's just that Cotto was better, no excuses.

[@xizor1d]

Bruh you can clearly see he has no knees from the start. This was a wounded animal.

[@rodsaunders8832]

HardworkandDedication the left hook was the cause of those wobbly legs, not the knee.

[@xizor1d]

@@rodsaunders8832 the left only landed cause he had no knees. I not sure what part of this y'all are not getting? Take a look at the first knock down. He fell flat on his face not form being unconscious but because he could not regain his balance. Boxing is in hips and if you can't leverage your knees, you are fucked. About the most you bad you can say about Martinez in this fight is that he shouldn't have been in their knowing damn well he ruined his knees in the Julio Cesar Chavez jr fight. I mean Chavez was able to land cause Martinez had no knees and Chavez is the laziest fighter to ever make it TV.

[@rodsaunders8832]

HardworkandDedication simple i disagree. Martinez wouldn’t have been able to get away from cotto to begin with. There aren’t many fighters in the recent past that are better at cutting the ring off and controlling distance than cotto. I agree he shouldn’t have been in there, but those hooks would have landed against any version of Martinez including the one that stopped Paul Williams.

[@xizor1d]

@@rodsaunders8832 Cotto is my 2nd favorite fight behind Mayweather from that era. But Cotto would have got chopped by Martinez late from Rd 6 on. Cotto is great cutting off the ring but he sacrifices defense to do it and confuses himself when strong fire is returned. Martinez can fight of the back foot when he has a good knee so Martinez right hook would have set Cotto up down the line for the left hand. Cotto gets confused in the middle of ring when he can't find a way in and the tell that he is confused is he start doing extra foot flourishes for no fucking reason. Finally Cotto best work is to the body leave him open to counters from the longer Martinez. This fight Martinez, a guy who keeps his hands low had no effective head movement. Martinez a soccer player, had no real foot work in this fight. Cotto did the right thing throwing the hook and getting to safe angle cause Martinez a person with a bad knee couldn't even match that simple movement. To disagree is to ignore reality of the situation. Martinez was wounded animal in there. This wasn't a top shelf win for Cotto say like his win over Zab Judah a slick, south paw whom he did put on a great performance against.
