Sergio Martinez said he expects to be the same as when there were no knee problems against three-division titlewinner Miguel Cotto on June 7 at New Yorks Madison Square Garden. THE RING and WBC middleweight champion has had two surgeries to repair ligament damage in his right knee. After a unanimous decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in September 2012 during which he had to rise from a 12th-round knockdown, Martinez (51-2-2, 28 knockouts) received eight stitches to repair a cut over his left eye, two staples in his head and suffered from both a broken left hand and torn ligaments in his right knee, which required surgery to repair. Martinez required a second surgery after having re-injured the knee, later determined to be a torn right meniscus, after rising from an eighth-round knockdown during a unanimous decision over Martin Murray in his last fight in April 2013. It is not easy to prepare for a fight when you have some of the ailments that I have when preparing for a world championship fight. I struggle with joint pains, knee pain and shoulder pain, said Martinez, during a recent interview. Without my physical therapist, Dr. Raquel Bordons, I would not be able to train today and probably wouldve had to retire due to my injuries. Because I train six days a week for an average of eight hours a day, I am always in constant pain. read more #cottovsmartinez #cottomartinez #envivo #wbc #MiguelCotto #SergioMartinez #cottovsmartinezlivestream
