he was brawling with cotto in spots and landed a few. the surpising thing was he was able to keep this up until the late rounds.
he didn't gas. looks like he really worked hard for this fight.
I really dont think Mayorga (i hope anyway) hasnt retired, maybe it was a spur of the moment thing because he'd lost and broken his thumb? Did he really only get 50k for fighting cotto?
Sure, He was fighting a torn cotto.. If that was the 2007 Cotto Mayorga wouldnt have lasted 7 rounds.
I think Cotto is just more of a boxer now and he picks his punches a lot more so the fight inevitably lasted longer, i think the talk got to cotto a little bit as well.

that's hard to say.
cotto of today is probably not as good as pre-margo cotto
but i think the way the fight went should be attributed to how well-prepared mayorga was, not much on how "shot" cotto was.

Not bad for a 38 year old brawler. He always puts up exciting fights tho, win or lose. Props to Mayo for that but it's time to hang up the gloves.
yeah, he probaly should hang them up. but that mayorga would still give most of the 154 lbers trouble imo.
I thought he would be week and weight drained. I like Cotto but this fight was tougher than it was supposed to be. Too bad Mayorga retired, coming off this showing, he could still make a splash if he remained active.
Imagine Mayorga against Kirkland.
really wanted Mayorga to win that fight
Cotto victory looks better since Mayorga fought well
Cotto took most of the rounds but had some trouble
it wasn't the easy win it was supposed to be
yeah, i was rooting for him too.
i thought mayorga will gas for sure the way he was fighting the first few rounds.
