Boxing schedule for the month of June

[HERESY]

How was Cotto, a big payday fight, considered high risk? Martinez was the favorite, was in a weight class above Cotto and a pound for pound champion. It was even considered a cherry pick for Martinez, fighting a smaller guy like Cotto instead of Golovkin or even rematching Murray. Turns out Sergio is shot and would have lost to anyone that night. Cotto was considered low risk high reward.

It was high risk because he was coming off of a long period of inactivity and two surgeries to face an elite fighter/future HOF who's resume is basically a who's who of boxing. A guy who has held multiple championships in multiple weight classes. So there is no way fighting an opponent of that caliber is a cherry pick. Seriously, look at it on paper.

Martinez comeback fight = Cotto.

Cotto comeback fight = Rodriguez.

Who has the cherry pick? So hell no it wasn't a low risk high reward fight. It was high risk all the way.

@HERESY .. not sure if you got a chance to watch it..

Good lookin out, fam. He snuck that hook in there and finally landed it. He missed it a couple of times in that fight, and I wanted to see a bit more head movement and not just upper body. And he seemed flat at times but he worked the body, cut the ring off, used his jab and pulled out the win. He still needs a bit more competition but he has a future ahead of him.

Clarification is in order. When I said it was a cherry pick I was talking about a money fight, yeah, and there were others in the division but a cherry pick doesn't ensure victory and he didn't take that fight because he was DUCKING. See how it works? It wasn't a cherry pick because it was an easy fight, like the onw Cotto took with 17th and non ranked Rodriguez. Rather, it could be considered one because of what I stated. Money and othera in the division.

Seems your firecracker was a dud :-(

Hahaha man you are trying way too hard to justify your faulty logic. You said it was a cherry pick.Plain and simple. A cherry pick is NOT considered high risk.

I just explained it in full detail. It was a CP because there were more dangerous people. But like I said, Cotto fought a tomato can past his prime. Sergio fought an elite fighter and did so on bad legs. I didn't know, at the time, that his legs were that bad. You, on the other hand, did know so that makes it worse on your end.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

If I knew they were that bad I wouldn't have picked Martinez by KO.

Anyway you slice it a cherry pick cannot be considered high risk, which is what you said. It's like you simply refuse fault. You said Cotto was a cherry pick (a cherry pick is low risk), Cotto ended up winning and now you flip it and say Cotto was a high risk fight so it fits your agenda lol. Stop it man.

Cotto was definitely a "safe" fight for a comeback. Never fought at MW, hadn't looked very good in years, and it was a payday for Martinez coming from injury and inactivity.

There's a difference when comparing the kind of fight Cotto took against Rodriguez and Martinez against Cotto. Cotto was coming off 2 loses, where as Martinez was coming back off injury but was the lineal champ of the division. He had to fight someone credible and he took a calculated financial risk with Cotto not being a real middleweight and not being what he was and it didn't pan out for him.

Anyone that wasn't in the Martinez camp could only speculate about what condition Martinez was coming in fight night. I believe the only reason Cotto's people took the fight is because they were banking on him not being healthy. We can all go back and say that it was a dangerous fight after seeing what happened, but Cotto was the dog on the books, was out sized, fighting the lineal champ in a division and we've seen gut out knee issues in the ring before against real middleweights.

They need to put him in tough man. Normally when fighters are with big promoters like Top Rank are moved that slow, there's a reason for it, and it isn't good.
