Hopkins with his usual BS. Headbutts, excessive holding, etc. Deduct a point already! I'm so sick of this guy getting away with this stuff fight after fight.
I would say 10-2 or 9-3 Dawson. There's no way Hopkins won that fight. Only a nuthugger would think so. He clearly got out-worked, and busted up pretty good. This despite all his usual bull***** tactics. Adios Bernard.
This, Hopkins is a notorious slow starter. His strength is his ability to adjust down the stretch.
In all honesty, I would not be surprised to see him get blasted out inside the first half of the fight. Dawson is out for blood.
LOL. Hopkins is gonna' lose a wide decision here. There's no way the judges can give him a decision for this garbage. But I wouldn't be surprised TBH, though.
Cotto also never got hit with the punch Floyd took in round 2.
No, he didn't. He just got hit with a body shot that had him running for dear life toward the end of his and Mosley's fight.
I think you could have easily scored Cotto/Mosley a draw, and if not a 115-113 type win for Cotto. It was a razor thin decision, if he even did in fact pull it out.
And BTW, this thread is absolutely retarded. Why ask questions we already know the answer to?
Only a Cotto nut-hugger would think that Cotto beat Shane worse than Floyd did. This isn't even up for debate.
Even Hopkins constant dirty tactics couldn't save him from getting worked by Chad Dawson. The right man won. And after all these recent robberies in boxing, this is good for the sport. Time for ole' Bernard to move on with his life. He's made a ton of money in the sport, and no longer needs to box.
God, I hate Top Rank and Bob Arum so much. They rob the fans of fights they deserve to see. ALL THE TIME.
This fight is so bogus. Well know Timmy is going there to do a job. And that job is to get beat by Manny Pacquiao. I will eat my work boots if he somehow beats Pacman.
I'm so sick of this whole Pacman charade. If Manny wasn't a complete and utter fackin' retard, he would have left Top Rank YEARS ago.
Manny is beyond retarded.
And to think this guy could potentially be in a high position in political office is simply mind-boggling. Even if it IS the Phillipines.
Pinoys, I know you love Pacquiao, and I respect that. But whatever you do, DON'T VOTE FOR THIS GUY.
You simply cannot have someone with a third grade education as president of a country of 92,000,000 people. You think the Philippines are riddled with poverty and squalor now? HA! Let Pacman run it for a year, and you'll be lucky if the population of the country is above 50,000,000!
This guy can't even handle his own finances, let alone that of an ENTIRE COUNTRY.
LOL.
I'm sorry, but the Filipino people are completely delusional if they think this moron can run a country.
I hope he loses as well. Not because of his age. But because of that B.S. stunt he pulled in his last fight with Dawson. Not only do I hope he loses, but I also hope he gets KTFO.
It's his just do for pulling such a pathetic display of cowardice.
Floyd won that fight clearly. I don't know why this is even up for debate. I remember thinking the same thing about Manny/JMM 3. (And that fight was A LOT closer than this one.) I watched Manny/JMM 3 and thought Manny clearly won either 8-4 or 7-5. He won CLEARLY. And I am the furthest thing from Pacquiao supporter, but that being said, the man won.
People need to give Floyd his props. He absolutely whipped Cotto on the inside. He could have easily boxed from the outside and boxed a shutout, but he gave the fans some action. And he's still getting ripped for it.
In the hater's eyes, this man can do NOTHING right.
It was an exceptional performance from both men, so let's just leave it at that.
The score cards were absolutely fine.
Exactly. And only a ******* would disagree. This fight only proves further that Floyd will absolutely DESTROY Manny Pacquiao if Manny ever decides to take the tests. Floyd even called him out. He just said Manny has to take thet tests.
Which is a completely fair demand, IMO. Mosley, Oritz, and Cotto all had no problems with it. Yet Manny does?
Fack off.
Arum knows Manny will lose to Floyd. And furthermore, we might see a VERY different looking Manny Pacquiao in the event of OST.
Sorry *******s. I know the truth hurts.
you should be banned you flom0sexual. with your stupid name and your stupid comment.
AHAHAHAHAH. U MAD brah?
U mad Floyd absolutely WORKED Cotto. And you being the one calling me names, I think if anyone is banned around here, it should be YOU.
Man, this fight is worth-while though. I wouldn't feel ripped if I paid for it. You get Floyd/Cotto and Canelo/Mosley in HD (I'm guessing?). I'd love that man! That's how you throw a party brother!
I'll be watching on some crappy stream.

People will compare tonite's fight to Pac's beatdown of Cotto.
Not me. IMO, this fight is much more impressive than the Pacman fight. This fight is at 154lbs where Cotto is much more comfortable than 144lbs. He was definately drained for the Pacman fight.
He moved up from 140lbs because he could not make weight. At 144lbs he was drained for sure.
At this weight, he should be much more comfortable, and I could see him pushing Floyd quite a bit. I think Floyd will win an 8-4 or 7-5 type decision. This reminds me a lot of the Floyd/DLH fight.
Floyd is clearly going to be the smaller man in there. But I think he'll outbox Cotto, and cruise to a decision.
Cotto will look bush league out there tonight. Floyd is just light years ahead of him. He has zero defense, and is going to get picked off all night.
I have absolutely no idea how anyone could score that fight a draw, or a Cotto win.
Worst case scenario it was 116-112 decision for Floyd. He worked Cotto. Masterclass man. If you can't appreciate the man's skills, you really should not watch boxing.
That was a clinic. He made Cotto look absolutey ordinary. He had complete control of the fight, and probably could have stopped Cotto in the 12th.
hahahahah your name says it all !!!!!! if manny is so dumb why is he a congressman and mayfeather is not !!!!! manny is helping president obama to bring down terrorism and the national deficit while
Ya' really believe that, eh?
You do realize that Manny Pacquiao probably has about a third grade education, right? Furthermore, he's only a congressman by default. Because the idiotic people of the Philippines are stupid enough to vote in an uneducated retard like Manny Pacquiao.
Do you think if a boxer ever ran for congress in the US they would ever come CLOSE to being voted in? Fakk off.
Your argument is completely invalid. But what should I expect from someone who supports an uneducated cheating piece of crap?
And now we see the difference of Cotto at 144lbs and Cotto at 154lbs. Selective matchmaking at it's finest. **** Bob Arum, Top Rank, and all of Team Pacquiao.
Man up, and take th ****in' tests already! Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto all did!
Where you at Manny?
Floyd just called you out last night, and you're only going to hide behind your promoter, as usual.
Let's see what you look like with random OST.
thanks for the clearification !!!!!!!!! because going from 40 to 32 in one fight is suspicious!!!!!! hopefully more big name fighters follow his and oscar model in te future !!!! and cut out more of the middle man !!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, kinda' like your idiotic man-crush Manny Pacquiao who automatically gives away 32% of his earnings right off the hop. Seems to me, that the followers are almost as stupid as Pacroid is himself. (Notice I said ALMOST.)
Because to be quite honest, Manny Pacquiao is easily one of the dumbest people I've ever seen. If it wasn't for his natural athletic ability, and performance enhancing drugs, he'd be fakked in life.
