During a recent Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, something gave me a slight adrenaline rush for a split second. I saw what looked to be a high octane portrait of the cast from one of my favorite action movie series at courtside [click here to see this].
Then I realized I wasn't looking at Vin Diesel- or the same picture at all.
Not long removed from a domestic disturbance call made to authorities by his wife, Miguel Cotto didn't look too comfortable sitting next to the wild actress Michelle Rodriguez from “Fast and Furious” fame. But Cotto really isn't a man engineered for nonsense, drama, or too much talking from a distance.
Especially bitching from Sergio Martinez.
On the attack and feeling some kind of way because of contentious negotiations, the on-the-mend WBC middleweight champ had a few choice words for the ballsy Puerto Rican product.
"He should never forget that I'm the champion. He has a lot of demands but I'm the champion. I'll say it, I don't think that he'll last five rounds. I would like to fight Cotto, but he is showing signs that he doesn't want to (fight), by asking for complicated conditions and he does not respect boxing history. I'm ready to knock Cotto out in five or six rounds and I know I will. He can not resist me. Disrespecting me is a very unfortunate thing. He should not forget that I'm the champion," Martinez said, in an interview with notifight.com
Now- I don't know about you, but he has a lot of nerve making those remarks. Let’s remove how crass and obnoxious they are, and point out a few facts.
For starters, Cotto doesn't really need Martinez. This is a fight that Martinez has been lobbying for- and for obvious reasons. It is a big fight with an opponent who has name recognition and star power.
