    I suppose that's where the "dispute" aspect comes in. A great many people felt Cotto was in serious peril when Estevez stepped in to have the wet spot wiped down. HBO commentators among others included.

          For me Cotto was most badly damaged when Mosley landed that haymaker at 1:48 in the 3rd round. Shane failed on his promise to follow up on it, and Cotto did an exceptional job of playing it off.

          In my view, Mosley rocked him hard with that shot and if not for Cotto's good disposition and strong legs it might have been a KD.

            It is possible the fix was in... but I still think Cotto took the fight.. Would a Knockdown have changed things??? yes I think the fight was close enough it might have made a difference..

            It is one fight where I think a rematch is in order... But I dont think the final result would differ.. But Mosely is the kind of guy.. you never want to count out.. who knows??

              Agreed. Mosley was not pro-active about seeking the rematch. Even Cotto himself talked about another fight when Mosley was silent. Of course Mosley has now expressed interest well past the 11th hour, and that makes me wonder how truly enthusiastic he is about getting back in there with Cotto.

                  Was there anyone who picked two or more that did not bet on Mosley?

                    HaHA.. George throws it out there in situations I've looked at literally dozens of times and I still can't see what he's referring to.

                      by hurt I am interpreting that as more than buzzed, stunned or in trouble so no he wasnt although Mosley did buzz him on several occasions.
