I think Castillo has it in him to pull this win over Hatton. He knows this is it for him if he losses. I agree with you on Hatton's body attack on Castillo.
everyone here has made very good points. Should a match between Cotto and Mayweather be in the works, and preliminaries get inked, a few factors will definate delay this fight...
1) PBF will want it at MGM Grand in Vegas
2) He'll pull a De La Hoya and want 70% of the revenues
3) Team Mayweather will steer away from a June date
4) Will tell Bob Arum it will be promoted by Filthy Rich promotions
5) Team Cotto will not settle for agreement brought to the table
there are certainly many others. IMHO opinion, the Winner should get the Titles, Lions share of the purse, and P4P status! While PBF can defiantely out point Cotto....you all know PBF can't hang with Cotto. He can pot shot all him all nite to a Split Decision, but PBF bess not brawl with Cotto!
I Agree with this quote.
Martinez was robbed!! Come on. He out boxed Cintron and landed the harder punches.Cintron was too flat footed and did nothing to cut the ring off. Martinez was the better fighter.
Same here man, Cintron lost and started acting like a BITCH. That boy needs to take my damn flag off his trunks...bitch cries, don't live here in PR and BARELY speaks spanish... GTFO:boxing:
But, that being said....it was hilarious watching him make an ass of himself and screaming it was a head butt...lol And seriously....stop saying that shit "no one hits that hard"....:bottle:
Well said!! He is a freaken thug with no class.. Don't get me wrong. I think he is a good fighter, but he lost last night. Plain and simple. I heard that he is moving down to welter and fight Cotto. Cotto will kill him and after the fight, Cintron will complain again about lord knows what.
This is another song from the soundtrack!..(when Margarito gets exposed and they show silent clips of him getting dropped..Capetillo huggin him..Capetillo taking the blame in the courts..and when they get their licenses revoked)
Movie is a true tear jerker!..pretty emotional!...I give it an F+!!!!!!!
That is some funny shit!!
Ahh, headbutt, headbutt.
But he knocked you down with a bodyshot.
Nah, headbutt to the ribcage! C'mon!
(Ravishing Rick Rude dance, as he rises)
LOL!! I agree.
Cotto lost, that is it.. We will never know unless Margo's team admits to cheating or try and check the blood srains on the wrap. My opinion, he cheated. Cotto will move on and will be the 1pfp fighter while Margo will be fighting in Mexico and blaming his camp for his wraps.
I will say I will give him an B... it is hard to say it was the best performance of his life because of it being Michael Jennings and all but he has shown character from coming back from his recent loss and getting over those mental scars, it was an easy victory because his opponent wasn't on his level but we have to consider it was just a confidence build up.
Cotto at first was picking his punches fighting a smart fight, not getting careless and waiting for an opening where he can catch his opponent with a good shot and unleash on him, so in a way he fought a good intelligent fight to come away with the win.
I would of gave him an A for how he fought, he was more cautious and fought with a lot more intelligence and you could see he has improved on his defense more, it was a good KO victory where he shown he had a lot of skills as a fighter... however due to the quality of his opponent I can't bring myself by saying it was an A because of the performance because we all knew it would have been an easy fight for him... in which I brought it down to a B to kind of cancel it out (if that makes sense).
There my thoughts anyway. :boxing:
I agree with you 100%. I gave him a B also. I thought his defense was good and he took his time. The most important thing too was that he did not get careless.
I think that Cotto did the right thing by feeling his opponent out and not getting careless. Jennings made him work a little more than anyone expected. He gave him movement and was not standing in front on him. That was actually good for Cotto. Cotto established his jab, countered and worked the body well. On top of that, he got the result he wanted.
Fact of the matter is that Jennings got his ass whooped. That is it!! It was wrong, but let's not forget the Hatton Vs Floyd.. There will always be boooooos against each others anthems.
JMM fought a great fight. Diaz is a good fighter, but not a great fighter. He lacks power and doesn't time his punches well. He just goes in and waste to much punches.
I am a Cotto fan but he dont want Paul. You have to be extremly fast with hands and feet to box Paul or to be able to take huge shots to get inside. Cotto headhunted all night v margs but pwills head movement is difficult to time. Plus he throws from every possible angle. How about that uppercut across his other arm?!?!?!?. Cotto is too small. No we can't beat Paul, including the retired one (who wouldn't fight him for a hundred million dollars probably)
Do you remember when Quintana fought Cotto? Everyone was saying that Quintana is exrtremely fast and the only way Cotto is going to beat him is to get inside and that was going to be very hard. What did Cotto do? He beat Quintana to the punch and knocked him around the ring. After the fight Quintana said that Cotto was one of the fastest he has ever faced and one of the hardest punchers also. lets not count Cotto out yet!!!
Are you comparing Carlos Quintana to a 6"2 87 inch reach Williams?
Yes, the Quintana that got to Williams. That Quintana.. He is only 5'9 1/2 " and he got to Williams. Remember Tyson? Every person he faced was taller than he was and what happened?
He is at least 6'3. I was at the fight in Ontario and Williams was towering over this one guy. This guy was talking to someone about how tall Williams was and that he was 6'1. But anyway, Williams is a machine. This guy will dominate the middle weight division. What he has going for him is that he can fight in the inside and or on the outside. He is a great fighter.
I don't think Paul will destroy Cotto and or win. I like Williams. but he will struggle making weight at welter. I see Cotto giving him angles and going to the body. Remember what Quintana did to Williams in the first fight? He countered and gave him angles. AGAIN, let's not get crazy and say, "It's because you are Puerto Rican". NOOOO, I LIKE WILLIAMS. But, that is my opinion.
Come on boxer12!! Do you really think he did not cheat against Cotto? It explains why he started coming on at the middle rounds against cotto. To let the cast get nice and hard!!
I would like to see the Cotto-Margarito rematch!.. I still think Cotto is the best welter, but there has to be a rematch. This time Cotto will go to the body like he was supposed to in the first fight.
I agree.. But Cotto has to fight his fight this time. Not like Mosley. He kept boxing like he was 6/10. He is the shorter guy.. Get inside, work the body, go up stairs then clinch. Everytime he moved away from Margo in the first fight, he got hit.
It sounds like denial to me.. Do you mean the same commissioner that signed off on Margo's plaster wraps before Sugars trainer went in to dressing room and found something strange with his wraps??
