    Few things from a big Sergio Fan..

    First I though fight was fixed with all the three knock downs.. The second one especially.. It made me feel the fight was fixed and I though Sergio is going to "Paul Williams" Cotto later.. That way the audience wont be fooled by the mismatch. Later I realized how Martinez was way too short.. The Champion will know he is short only the hard way.. Its not a "if you gonna play with fire you gonna get hurt" kind of lesson that you can be learn the easy way.

    I mean the real Martinez is the man who fought is way out in the 12 round against a 180 pounder, after he got knocked down bad, no clinch, no running away, but fight..

    Another thing that convinced me that Sergio was short is he never let his hands down, all the way down, with that shoulder jerk he dose..

    Also, Respect for Cotto to let the then champion walk second and get introduced second.. Wishing to see Cotto soon in MW..

    Thank you Sergio for all the fights you have given us. Respect.

    I think sergio got way too much pride to lose a fight on purpose. and to me it just looked like cotto caught martinez good when he was cold, and boxed exellent after.sergio is 39 years old, and is training way too hard to be 39 years old, so his body dont have the time to rest and build.. but cotto was on his game , so its a combination of many things. but a win is a win, and its always gonna be a reason to why a boxer lost to another, and today, cotto simply was better

    This is why the boxing community doesn't get respect. People like you want to make excuses and not accept reality.

    Theres nothing fixed about this fight, you're just fixated about Martinez's nuts and don't want to believe your favorite boxer is inferior and got out classed by the superior fighter. Cotto dominated Martinez in every way and that's the only path you can accept to take, all others are delusional.

    The real Martinez was in the ring but he was facing a real Miguel Cotto and Martinez began to fold in half.

    It's the same argument people use against Mayweather. Great fighters face him and when they lose, stupid fans say "It wasn't the real version, Floyd fought the shot version of him"

    Sergio Martinez would be disgusted that you're his fan. Sergio doesnt want excuses made for him.

    I still didn't rewatch the whole show but there's definitely a sense of wrong in the air, not cause Cotto earned 7 mil and Sergio earned 1,5 mil, not cause the Champ entered first, not cause the Champ was presented first. Cotto was supposed to lose, this is the common knowledge that we share in our community, the rest is the fanbase wishing well for the fighter. Martinez in normal conditions, sends natural welterweight Miguel Cotto steamrolling out of the ring or Cotto burns himself out tryin to keep up with the hard pace imposed by the taller, better conditioned, technically in better situation to dispose of the incoming bully challenger. I wouldn't get surprised. Those who say that the judges got it wrong or got corrupted, fail to believe and come to terms that the fighters themselves for finantial reasons or others also keep on selling themselves to other parties.

    It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.

    I saw him do the shoulder jerk. Then it jerked again when Cotto popped him in the chops with a left hook. Then his knees jerked. Then he flopped on the floor like a fish....

    According to this forum, current Ricky Hatton and Prince Naseem would of beat Martinez. Martinez confirmed D level fighter and both his knees are shot. Feather fisted fighter with no defense.

    Downplaying Sergio Martinez now because you guys thought he was gonna wreck Cotto and aren't man enough to swallow your ignorance.

    It wasn't fixed, but I turned out to be a handicap match.

    The guy knew his career was over and shouldn't fight with the injury but pretended to be fine to get the payday and I don't have a problem with him getting one last payday.It was clear from round 1 his knee wasn't ok.
