    I just read an article talking about sergio martinez knee the headline said "i thought i wouldnt walk again"

    I didnt know that his knee injuries were that severe worse than derick rose

    He was on crutches until late december and i dont think he has ran or jogged at all

    He also said he injured it again 4 days before the murray fight

    Will this be the deciding factor on june 7??? He says he is 150% fine and has free mobility in the ring that he moves freely

    CANT WAIT FOR THIS FIGHT

    cotto is a known dirty fighter he will test sergios knee by hitting it with his own knee

    pauli even said after his fight his shin swole up and cotto is a dirty fighter.....

    He says it hurts when he walks. Doesn't look good.

    I love Cotto and Martinez, but I think that Martinez is just too much for Cotto. Bigger, Faster, and taller.

    + Cotto comes forward, that style is made for Martinez who hits and moves.

    If his knees are fine he probably knocks cotto out but we just don't know how they are after operation

    This fight all depends on who has more left because both are past their best.

    If Martinez has a ****ed up knee then he will want to brawl and use his natural strength advantage

    The knee is a big factor in the fight. Even if he moves well in the first few rounds, it could break down in the last 3/4 of the fight and that will give Cotto a huge advantage.

    Martinez's whole game is build on movement. Without it, he's just an average fighter with good handspeed.

    Cotto is a very live dog in this fight because of Martinez's knee problems. Here are some possible outcomes:

    1) If Martinez injures his knee during the fight and is forced to quit - Cotto Victory
    2) If Martinez loses his mobility and stays in the fight - Cotto Advantage
    3) If Martinez is in discomfort and mentally distracted by knee pain - Cotto Advantage

    Don't be shocked if it ends in 1 round. I expect Sergio to show up looking for an immediate KO risking getting KTFO himself, because he can't trust his knees anymore

    Bull****!!!

    Sergio it's beeing running since beginning of March 3 times a week. He is doing triple turn trainning, morning gym, afternoon bike 4 times a week (plus 3 times running), night boxing. He is now in his 8th week of trainning, he and his knee are going to be in perfect shape for June 7.

    I can see cotto wobbling like when manny caught him with that peach of an uppercut in round 4 of their fight
