Cotto's Jab

Shane's defense is too sloppy to beat Cotto. Had he boxed and moved more he could have squeaked out at least a draw. Cotto was looking real good early on though. I'm gonna have to watch the fight again and just watch Cotto. I think he broke Shane's body down and Shane wasn't even letting his hands go late. When you watch it again take a look at the 4th round for example.. Mosley's defense was waaaaay past sloppy, it was ATROCIOUS. Generally, Shane Mosley has not been that bad on D. That was ridiculous..

Yep.................... Ah well...

Thanks Addison. Thruthfully, I read a lot of your post and sometimes I get pissed off about what you are saying. But you always give a reason for your thoughts, and they all make sense, even if I disagree. Much respect. Absolutely, Joe. You let the outcome speak for itself. Your every word leading up to this fight was validated in the results. Believe that I'm very humbled and impressed. Nice!

yea, addison, i give u respect.. u're not making any excuses, good job man.. it was a real close fight, and had me worried as fuck, i'm just glad that my man won, but i think we all realize the respect that shane deserves, and i think he's still a force to be reckoned with Thanks, KT. Cotto impressed everyone, me most of all. He's really a fantastic talent. Much respect to you, my man. Much respect.

Its impresive how good Cotto's jab was. I also dint expect Cotto to win the early rounds. I had Cotto winning 7 rounds to 5, but I thought Cotto took a big risk by going backwards the last few rounds. The fight could have easily been 6 rounds to 6, or even 7 rounds to 5 for Mosley. But honestly, Cotto deserved the win more than Mosley. Addison, I remember your arguments for Mosley beating Cotto. You were the only one that said the way for Mosley to win was to jump on top of Cotto and trade with him. You said that boxing with Cotto was not a good idea. I believe you were right. It might had been a whole different fight if Mosley had done that. I have always thought this, and I say it all the time. Cotto seems real slow when you see him fight on TV. His speed is real deceptive, and his jab is real good. Cotto won fair and square, and he really impressed me tonight. Thank you, Joe. That was my feeling, indeed. Congratulations, man. You have showed as much class leading up to this fight as anyone I can think of, and you show just as much in victory. You're a gentleman, and most of all a winner. Much respect. :notworthy
