SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: My knees are feeling great. I have been running in the mornings on the treadmill. It's been a great camp and I am feeling great and haven't felt this good in a long time.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: That is more than likely the strategy of Miguel Cotto. It shows that he is in great shape coming into this fight but once the bell rings Miguel Cotto will be the lighter man in the ring.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: The recuperation was very painful. I was on crutches for nine months and it is very hard to come back from that, but this is the road that I chose and I enjoy the achievement of coming back from something like this. Everything is going to be fine come fight time.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: Right now I am just the same as when there were no knee problems. I have overcome all obstacles.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: There is no hatred. I am a professional. Any hatred whatsoever is left behind. I am only focused on training for the fight and to beat Cotto on June 7.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: Right now we are down the stretch. The words are over and my focus is getting in the ring. Those words mean nothing now. I am just getting ready for the fight. Wait for the bell to ring and it's on.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: No, it does not bother me at all. It is something I have to keep working on, in order to achieve it... However, his demands rob on the absurd.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: Right now we just hope that Miguel doesn't hurt Freddie too bad so that Freddie can't make it to the fight on June 7. That is my main concern right now.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: Of course I realize that Miguel does not have the same power at this weight that he had at 147, but I am the one that has the power in this case. I am the power-puncher of the two of us. But the most important fact in this fight is going to be the intelligence that I am going to be able to use in this fight.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: I think it will be a great fight for the fans, very good for boxing fans. It will be a fight that when I start to find my rhythm, my timing and the right distance, the fight will be over.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: I'm sure that I will win the fight by knockout because I'm training in a very hard and intense way and with such motivation that everyday I'm hitting harder, throwing more punches. Whatever Cotto will do in the ring, doesn't matter to me, I don't care. What is important is for me to be the day of the fight in the same state that I'm working right now.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: Could be, but I hope it isn't. It could be. But first we have to finish our contract with HBO. We have one more fight and I have to respect that.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: I don't consider it a lack or respect, just absurd requests and absurd demands. I have put that in the past and I am totally focused on wrapping up training and fighting on June 7.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: As far as the judges are concerned -- they won't have to do much work that evening because this fight is definitely not going the distance -- it will end before the scheduled number of rounds.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: When I win I will get the universal respect. This is a very, very important fight -- one of the biggest of my career. I do feel that I have earned respect form the boxing community but it will be universal after June 7.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: This fight is right up there with Paul Williams and Kelly Pavlik -- a very important fight in my career.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: This fight is bigger -- bigger than the Chávez fight which was just as important as Williams and Pavlik - because of the timing of this fight because we are at a crucial point in our careers.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: I am training and preparing for a hard fight and I will adjust as I go along.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: It's the way I have always done it. I have three sparring sessions this week, three sparring sessions next week, and then the following week is the week of the fight. It's nothing new -- it's the way it's always been throughout my career.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: Basically, many more boxers would be able to do it if they took care of themselves by living the way you are supposed to live -- eating healthy for example -- if many did many would continue to box at an older age.

SERGIO MARTÍNEZ: By January I have been training for this fight and my body has responded perfectly. The way training camp has been going, and the way I feel physically, it is going to be an early stoppage.
