    So many threads today about Martinez and his condition ,I have to give Cotto his due I picked Sergio by KO ,but Cotto pulled it out .If anyone watched Teddy Atlas's prediction on FNF he called it accurate ! Congratulations to Cotto ,I was fortunate to be wrong live :lol:

    Good stuff Imperial, I was shocked by the level of confidence some fans had with selecting Martinez he's a wonderful fighter with almost every physical advantage coming into this fight however I've been around the game to long and knew Cotto's boxing IQ, technique and skill set would shine vs an athlete like Martinez knee or no knee.

    Much respect to Roach and Cotto for exciting their game plan..I thought Martinez would win based on what you described ..I also didn't think Martinez being the bigger fighter would fight as small as he did ,I think that played right into Cotto's game plan

    Great win for Cotto. But of course haters will always find a way to discredit his win. Props to those of you man enough to admit you ere wrong.

    The ring looked small for some reason and he was performing some beautiful cutting off of the ring he deserved that.
