no, more like you just hate cotto, or dont know boxing. or both.
getting shaken up once from a perfect temple shot which you dont see is nothing to be ashamed of.
Well in the 2nd fight he'll definately know what to look out for, but my question is what's he going to do the next time he ups his competition and doesn't know what to "look out for"? (against the likes of Hatton, Harris, Tszyu, Mayweather, Witter, etc.)
You must be a Cotto fan..
He should have shown his greatness the first time around, while he knew nothing about Corley's style. Of course he's going to win impressively in the rematch.

They NEED to fight again. That stoppage was suspect and that referee was a joke. They gotta fight again.
Wouldnt you rather see him fight someone else tho? I kinda wanted the rematch too,at first,but now Im expecting a boring fight, unless corley goes for temple shots,or cotto leaves himself wide open again.Cotto/Harris, thats the ****!,lets see that, cotto already showed he could beat chop under these circumstances: Fighting a stupid fight/and getting rocked,surviving with two minutes left in the round,cotto HAS to move up,and soon, so i wish he'd hurry up and fight other great fighters at his current weight, why waste everybodys time with a Chop rematch,nothing against chop,but really cotto should be moving on, and if he did,and dominated, then nobody would care about that chop fight anyways.
I told all of you before that I dont understand why Cotto is fighting Chop again. Chop is my boy but I want to see Cotto fight Harris.

This fight showed all of us why Cotto's been a protected fighter. When he fights a top guy with some skill & more pop in his punches than Corley, he'll get KO'ed.
ANY fighter is susceptible to being shocked...
What a dumb comment!

Cotto will most likely beat him again and look more impressive doing so than the last time, but the only reason why is because it his second chance at fighting him, and he sees what Corley brings to the table now. I said it once and I'll say it again, if it was someone else in the 140 division Cotto would have been KO'd, but he'll be exposed in due time. He showed us that last fight that he is susceptible to being shocked..

Well fans everywhere, and especially in Puerto Rico, made him out to the next best thing since Félix Trinidad...In the "Chop Chop" fight everyone held him to that standard and he kind of failed them. People are always going to remember what happened in the the Corley fight, just like how before Roy Jones Jr. loss twice people were always talking about the Lou De Valle knock down using that as a reference when they said Jones had trouble with southpaws..
I don't see how Cotto failed when he pretty much won every round of the fight.

i want the fight again cause coto isnt gonna have 4 times to make weight and im hoping he aint gonan be 20 pounds more liek a middleweight and there is gonan be a experned ref and corley is gonan bring it cause he wont be paid to lose this time
If Cotto didn't fight Corley again everybody would be talking shit now that he is willing to fight Corley again everybody doesn't want it.
Exactly. Double edged sword that's unfair for Cotto either way.
I highly doubt that any of you will see Cotto come into another fight like he did against Corley. He usually fights at half of that pace and takes half the punches that he took against Corley.
It'd be very interesting to see how Cotto deals with Harris' range though.

That's true but, Then again it's not that hard to KO someone after a temple shot like that. i don't know why Corley didn't but come on it wouldn't be that hard. there had to be more of a reason of why Corley didn't go in there and finish him off. He must of felt something in that ring that we didn't feel thru our T.V screen??? Anyone can get shocked at any point and time. No one is immune to that.

corley would beat coto this time
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. I don't think that there's going to be any temple shots this time around. Expect the usual patient breaking down the body Cotto in that ring come June 11th. I believe he learned that he has to focus on the guy in front of him rather than pleasing the crowd.
