he was emotional cause of the event as a whole. how much heart both fighters had, how it was a war, how undefeated cotto lost, how margarito finally made it, etc
WTF was that video all about after the fight? They even got a nice slow-mo zoom in of his wife and kid crying. I'm a Margarito fan and I'm glad he won but I think they should've shown Cotto the proper respect. I didn't hear anything like the usual "2 great warriors put on a classic." All I heard was how Cotto's career is through and plenty of shots of him leaving to the locker room.
I'm really happy with the outcome but Cotto was disrespected IMO.
yea that was fucked up. and it was like the 3rd time they showed it smh
he'll bounce back but i dont think he'll ever reach the point he was at right before the fight. if he were to move up in weight he wouldnt do too well imo
Margarito sucks- just a neanderthal with a thick skull no boxing skill or menatlity just a come forward and swing for the fences.
In a rematch Cotto would win, by attacking the body more and preparing to outbox for 12 rounds
how much money did you lose?
They had previously had an tacit agreement and one had the 1st and 3rd saturdays of the month the other had the 2nd and 4th saturdays of the month.
HBO in order to put further strain on the lower budgeted Showtime started going into dates that were traditionally Showtimes. Its bad for boxing in general.
i see, thanks
so does the network you compete against
and this makes sense how?
if im showtime and red bull is sponsering me, do you think theyre gonna care that my rival is losing viewers as well?
its not just black folk its americans period. look at boxing right now in terms of how popular it is. can you blame someone for wanting to play basketball/football instead and make 10+ millions more rather than gettin brain damage for chump change?
american boxing will remain the way it is untill it becomes as popular/lucrative as it was in the past
This same argument works in reverse: if more whites, especially Eastern Europeans, played football and basketball, you could as well say they'd dominate that in addition to boxing. Oh yeah . . . . . . .
Let the best individuals win. Don't make up excuses as to why those are never black anymore.
the same argument does not work in reverse cause eastern europeans have never dominated football and basketball in the first place
and lets not say the best individuals "are never black anymore". because last time i checked tiger woods and the williams sisters took a dump on two sports that were almost completely white. the nfl/nba are mostly black and the best pound for pound fighter right now is #1 cause a black man retired
thats what i cant stand about this site
if someone likes cotto it usually means they hate floyd or margarito
if someone likes wlad it usually means they hate haye
if someone likes floyd it usually means they hate cotto
etc... shit is childish - grow the fuck up
funny how some cotto fans will try to put down floyd even though he had nothing to do with cotto gettin beat down
how long has he been retired? and yall are still talkin about him? let it go already
if hopkins can improve his stamina he can edge out a win. but if he performs even older than he did against calzaghe he'll lose based on kellys punch output alone imo
What the fuck is this shit? At first I thought you photoshopped it, but its apparently an actual product. If you go to winkysspot.com it will play you some ridiculous clips from it, and they explain the plot thusly:
