    Comments Thread For: Roach: Martinez Will Get KO'd, No Defense Whatsoever

    Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Cotto is on a mission to do something none of his countrymen have been able to do in boxing and that is win four titles in four different weight classes. Cotto will be making a venture into the middleweight division and will have to defeat current champion Sergio Martinez in order to secure his mark in the history books.

    Cotto is currently in Los Angeles putting the final touches on his training camp at the famed Wild Card Gym and from speaking to head trainer Freddie Roach, everything has been going as planned and they are ready for whatever Martinez may bring.

    How many times has Roach been wrong since 2012 he said Marquez would be KO'D and it was Pacquaio who was knocked out

      Martinez in his prime would be a substantial favorite. This version of Martinez is beatable, and I think it's a 50/50 fight or maybe a very slight edge to Martinez. I like what Roach brings to the table with Cotto although Roach has become an egotistical person as of late. I think Cotto needs to impose himself on Martinez early. Cotto is a different fighter when he's coming forward although he can box and fight and backing up as well. When Cotto is able to absorb shots and come forward he's at his best. The key to this fight is whether Cotto can take Martinez' power. We know Cotto is not a one punch KO artist, but we also know Cotto will carry power to 159 and do damage. If Cotto can handle Martinez's power and be effective to the body, he'll win the fight.

          The reason cotto was so dominant early in his career was because his uncle was training him. Once they had the feud and split, cotto has had multiple trainers and neither got the best out of him. With Roach, I see I younger, hungrier, looking to knock you out cotto same as when he was with his uncle. People say Martinez is to skillful and fast but they forget cotto beat a more skillful, faster fighter in Shane mosley back when mosley was considered top three p4p. A lot of people will be shocked to see the fight cotto puts on come Saturday, even though he won't get the recognition he'll deserve because they'll say Martinez was old and the injuries caught up with him

            I'm convinced both of these guys are going to come in ridiculously dirty. Neither will look their age at all.

                The last KO win Cotto got was against mayorga and margarito, and he stated he hurt his arm and on top of that a lot of people knocked out mayorga, margirito really should not have been boxing in the first place with half an eye so what makes him think the lil power he had at 154 will carry to 160 to hurt someone who jccjr couldnt knock out and he was a light heavy weight?

                  The Wild Card 'shakes' are going to work wonders for Cotto this Saturday.
