By Chester Rivers: There’s a saying in boxing that every great fighter has at least one great fight left in them. This was evident when Shane Mosley blasted a red hot Antonio Margarito, George Foreman knocked out Michael Moorer, Bernard Hopkins shuts out Kelly Pavlik and last night when Miguel Cotto dominates Sergio Martinez.
The underlying question coming into last night was “which of these two past their prime fighters would look the oldest?” That question was answered almost immediately by Martinez. Sergio didn’t have the familiar bounce in his step or shoulders. The spry smile that he normally displays was absent replaced with the tension and stress that comes with age.
