Cotto/Mosley Was A Disappointment

[TheEvilSaint]

it wasnt a bad fight and i dont regret paying for it, but it was disappointing because the fight could have been so much better. the first half of that fight was awesome. but in the middle rounds, mosley got on his toes, flicked his jab, and ran away. then in the later rounds, inexplicably, cotto got on his bike and started peddling. the 12th round was really a downer. neither fighter did anything in that round.

if neither fighter ran away, this fight would have been fantastic. but i paid to see a fight, not half a fight with a mix of jogging.

props to mosley. he hung tough, hes tougher than i thought he was. he was a very good sport about losing, too. mosley's a role model for professional athletes.

i think max kellerman is the only person ****** and/or biased enough to suggest a rematch.

i liked what lampley said "most fighters would have said 'i won the fight, it was a robbery!'". everyone knows that's a jab at floyd. (yes, floyd has never lost, but you KNOW thats what his reaction would be)

Both fighters ran a bit in this fight, Mosley ran in the middle of the rounds(probably was hurt a bit) and Cotto ran more near the end(also probably was hurt).

It was a good fight but, Cotto was a focused fighter tonight and didnt press, he came forward but didnt over extend or exert to much energy on one-thing.. Mosely just fought as he recently has been and thats to **** with you and if he has a opening put you a way.. tonight he didnt have that opeing and unlike a younger version of himself he was unable to deploy a different tactic to finish the job!

Both fighters ran a bit but they were both seriously hurt when they opted to do so. Doesn't take away from the fact that they traded bombs for several rounds. It does knock it out of the FOTY category though, with the holding and running.

cotto vs margarito is such A lolcano. margarito blasts him out quickly

The first 7 rounds where amazing back to back action ( just like Calzaghe-Kessler)

The 8th and 9th Mosley started backing off on his toes,jabbing and moving,the 10th round Cotto backed off,he looked a bit tired,it wasnt FOTY but it was a solid fight

agree, but i felt mosley was boxing well when he backed up, cotto didn't do so good when he backed up

Somebody mustv'e been high to call the mosley/cotto fight a "disapointment"!
It was a hell of a fight , imo. Way better than the crap Mayweather and Delahoya gave us. Fight was a very close fight and couldv'e gone either way.

It's all about expectations. This was exactly what I thought it would be a good fight, short of great. A classic fight is more like Margarito/Cotto. People kind of forgot that Shane likes to clinch sometimes.
