    he can wear the sleeve...but what he wants to wear is a mechanical device. at least that's what i heard.

    there's no inherent advantage of wearing it....

    so i don't see what the big deal is....

    in fact having to wear something like that would limit his mobility and possibly cause earlier fatigue

    This is going to be really interesting. Despite what Martinez say, his knee is not 100%. Hell, I don't think it's even 75%.

    Cotto is going after Martinez and force him to move. Roach know he's doing in this fight. Don't be surprised if Cotto push Martinez to a point where his body could give way.

    His knee is the reason why Sergio is only a -200 favorite. I' m assuming his knee is in pretty bad shape.

    Martinez' knee is probably as ¨healthy¨ as Margarito's eye was before the Cotto rematch.

    I wonder if it'll cave in after 2 rounds too

    Cotto loves to pick em cripples for sure

    Wait it's in the nysac lmao...stop acting like a ho Martinez is quite confident he will win and a brace does hardly anything for u I should know I've played ball all my life if anything it hinders your movement. Listen I'm just hoping for a good fight not a but of shemales crying foul over a knee brace....

    Your source (article) did not say it was the Cotto team.
    If there was any suspicion ...no doubt the author Ambrose would have tripped over himself to point it out!!!
    He has his issues!!!

    Thread starter if you don't have an agenda it sure appears so...starting a thread with half ****ed accusations.

    Try reading first!!!

    The athletic commission is a joke if this is true. I thought they were there to make sure the fighters are safe.
    If someones knee give up they might take shots that they would not have otherwise.
    Cotto has solid power and if Martinez limps around the ring like Foreman did then he could possibly get hurt.

    Fun fact: Cotto won his first 3 fights at 154 via injuries. :hey

    Cotto has no power at 154, let alone 159. Martinez took shots from 180 lb Chavez and heavy handed Pavlik. He'll eat up Cotto's punches with no problem. His issue is his knee and how it holds up and how much it hinders his mobility.
