    Surprised you didn't pick Cotto by first round KO..
    Hey I was one of the ones who thought Cotto would lose, maybe even get knocked out. Too slow, chin wouldn't hold up ect...... I thought it was a great showing by Cotto. Just giving credit where credit is due.

      I agree for the most part. I wish he would of been a little more agressive and tried to close the show against Tito. I think he might have been able to stop him.

        tito's problem was that he let winky dictate the fight,you let winky do that he will.tito need to let his hands go instead of spacing out with lean back playing in his head,doing his best bobblehead impersonation.

            I remember watching the fitght saying damn, Cotto looks about as fast as Shane. He out jabed shane despite giving a big reach advantage, and speed suposedly. Cotto also boxed well in the fight. It even surprised Shane.

              he's just smooth,with very good hand speed,he doesn't need to dart in an out,he is very economical with his punches.he's a very subtle mover.

                Cotto would kill Winky.

                  Winky's jab could definitely keep Cotto off of him.

                      First, no way in hell that Winky makes 154.

                      Regardless, Winky UDs Cotto. Same old story: block, block, block, block, block, counterpunch. Repeat 100,000 times.
