If you know the rules a boxer is considered down if you are hit and you use the ropes to keep you up or if you're going down and are holding on to the opponent. Cotto was clearly on his way down and tried a last second ditch to grab on to torres' waist! torres took cotto off him but it was very obvious and the ref knew that cott was going down and held on to the opponents waist therefore its an official and real knock down.
welcom to the board. Nice to see you know everything about posters here in your 11th posts:ugh:
relax bro... having more post than others doesnt means you know more or less... making valid points does.... and 3 years after that fight u still complainin about that kd...(which i think was more a push... but anyway he was going down seconds later...so.. good cotto was knock down. ) that told me that you are more a fanatic than a boxing follower... :boxing: anyway.. .thanks for the welcome...
Cotto was a lucky man against Torres thats for sure, on many occasions you see fighters in far less trouble get saved by the Ref, see Corley!
Reffing in both fights was biased to say the least.
P4pking I went to basic training for 4 months, and your still hating on Miguel? Come on man, face the facts, he's the shit, and he owned your man Zab, he owned your man Mosley, and he owned Gomez. Get over it. Zab sucks. He sucks. He sucks. Get it through your head, he's a boxing disaster. Cotto would beat Zab 100 times out of 100.
:ugh: Yeah he owned mosley...that wasn't a close fight or anything..
oh wait..
anyone with 2 eyes can see that he was hurt yes, but was shoved down to the mat. yes he was basically out on his feet, but he did the veteran thing and tried to hold on, but torres did him one better with working his spaghetti legs to his advantage to get that KD called.
we will see..........tony is not gonna box cotto...hes gonna throw his fist in his face and body as hard as he can for 12 rounds hopeing to ko cotto we will see if cotto can pick and choose his spots like he has been able to do with fighters who dont have even close to the stamina and endurance and heart and will that tony will bring on fight night same goes for cotto....its gonna be a good fight.......
true enough, but margarito is too slow and cotto is too skilled.
I have to agree, Cotto is A level and Margarito is B level. Cotto will easily outbox Margarito.

This confirms my theory. There is No unbiased fan. Another Mexican trying to make Cotto look bad. I am sorry Chavez is too old but Margarito is a clown compared to Cotto and will be beaten soundly. THere will be NO excuse, no low blows, now biased ref etc. He is a B level at best fighter...Cotto is A level. It is over Mexico... start looking for a PR killer cause it seems like it's a wrap. Juanma Lopez is Daddy. :banana:

Cotto has NO CHIN. Paulie Malignaggi almost dropped him. here is the vid.
Look at 1:46, HAHAHAHA Damn, if that happened, what do you think a Margs right will do. :nonono:
They bumped knees, and Paulie landed a right hand while Cotto was off balance.

Even George Foreman said "It was more off balance than anything." Do you think that weak ass punch really shook Cotto? LOL.

I am a Torres fan, but lets be honest, Cotto was shoved. It was a 10-8 round either way and Miguel was getting his ass kicked, but it was a total shove.
Watch the damn video! He is getting beaten on, for sure, but at that point he grabs, and Torres pushes behind his head, trying to turn himself around and keep punching. Cotto is totally out of it and loses his balance. Blatent push, but if you want to call it a knockdown you could almost score that round 10-7. Cotto showed a great chin in that fight, because he took some FUCKING HARD punches. He ate Torres' full array. He was rocked in the 1st and second by hooks and right hands, he ate some good body shots, and then was rocked by that massive combination punctuated by an uppercut in round 5. Its a great fight, and its been over for three years, dont ruin it by complaining about a minor thing which is obviously not true. He lost that round by 2 points either way, so stop complaining that he was knocked down. He was pushed,
right after torres lands that 1-2 cotto's head comes down he wobbles foward with his hands on trying to hold on. You cant hold on to anything when your own your way down or its considered a knockdown. Cotto was on his way down and only trying to hold on on the way down that's why the ref didnt rule it a push because he was already going down. I hate when people say he only when down cause torres pushed him :ugh: cotto was well on the way to the canvas. watch the video the video dont lie

So you are conceding? LMFAO. I own you motherfucker. :D
your a joke of a poster that contradicts himself ALL THE TIME get the fuck out of here and pay p4pking the 10k you owe him you disgraceful son of a bitch. :slap:
wow i was expecting to see some recent sparring or something. The Ricardo Torres fight? Is this an old thread that was dug up? It cant possibly be new because i mean he fought Torres September of 05.
and for the record, Cotto was CLEARLY hurt/dazed/rocked/had no idea where he was, but was also CLEARLY, 100% CLEARLY shown on replay in slow motion pushed/shoved/thrown/tossed down onto the canvas.
It is called persisitent low blows which got him around 6 minutes to recover from the uppercuts. If he didn't cheat Zab would have took him out in one round.

Almost dropped??? Please! - be honest and see that Cotto was caught off balance with that shot - He came right back busted that eye socket for real...You see what you want to see.
Props to my boy Paulie for not giving up and giving Cotto one hell of a fight though!!
