Going into this fight I was surprised so many still favored Martinez. We all knew his knees were bad, but there was more than just that. Simply put, he has been getting hit and hurt his last few fights. His reflexes and smoothness left him since the Chavez fight. The writing was on the wall.
I sort of expected Cotto to win, but still had questions about him also. Roach seems to have lit some renewed confidence in Miguel. He fights more confident and went in there and took command. Two fights in a row where he seems to have found what he lost years ago. You could see it before he even threw a punch in the first round. He seemed focused, sharp and determined.
