    What alot of you are failing to realize is that Cotto is very good at slipping punches. He made Mosley miss most of his power shots. Mosley was throwing some bombs, but Cotto deflected or slipped most of them.

    You have to admire the accuracy in which cotto was able to achieve on Mosley, I dont think anyone had found Mosley as many times as Cotto did.

        There was something off and I could see it when he was still in the dressing room. All that light and energy he had this last week was completely gone. Dare I say; I KNEW things weren't going to go well before the fight started.


        Either way Cotto was going to give him a very tough and determined challenge and although this fight was clearly winnable for Mosley (if he had done more to be honest), that little bit of shortcoming was enough. Cotto was FAST, accurate, and intelligent. Very impressive.
        I thought Shane was behind 6-5 going into the 12 but he didn't land any real punches in 12 and even though Cotto was on the move constantly i see Cotto landing the shots and Mosley just stalking and not landing anything but it could of gone either way but what makes me laugh is that these judges i thought almost got it spot on but in Casamayor fight the judges couldn't have been anymore wrong if they tried.

          yea rounds 11 and 12 tough to score, but I thought they would go to the aggressor even if there was few punches thrown or landed... usually happens in any fight where someone thinks they have a comfortable lead.
