Oh man what a brilliant fight . Wt am devastated that Sergio lost.
He shouldn't have taken the fight after Murray fight with all the injury, he just was not the same powerful guy.
Round 1 3 knockdowns by cot to roach did a good job perfection the left power of cotto, I was scared it would end first round but good it didn't.
Sergio had a good start but got caught with cottos left and clever body punches to reduce his recovery by cotto.
Second round an onwards to round 9 Sergio was fast but speed had no power against cotto who was bigger muscularly and was very polished in his boxing jabbing and power punches, he landed 54% power punches which is crazy.
The fourth knockdown didn't look like a knock down his gloves didn't look like they touched the floor.
But cotto was his best since his fight against margarito but Martinez lost his power and accuracy, mainly accuracy I see a lot of straight towards cotto but lands over shoulder even cot to wasn't moving much. I don't know if It was his knee or other injuries but I think we might have seen past prime Martinez due to injury or was it the first round ko that affected his performance, but people cannot say he should win as he did against bigger people like Paul Williams, others as that was a while ago and shouldn't criticise him for it.
Then they stopped the fight as was getting hit a lot and cannot comeback as he would require a ko to win but would not last many rounds but permanent injury so I guess it was a god job of Pablo to stop the fight.
Cot to is very good with roach he loves power punchers cot to has a durable chin and only goes down himself no one can topple him easily, as roach is good at attack and power but not good with defence which did have surprisingly as well but he can take shots, now first puerto Rican to win in four divisions.
Cotto vs gennady, Martinez would not last against gennady, cot to has a good chance of beating golovkin.
Not going to get rematch with may weather he should fight canelo.
Good fight for both.
