    I'm riding with Viva tonight. He deserves it.

    I gave Viva a hard time for the 1,378 threads. So i'm now eating my words.

      What part of this was warrior-like?

      I saw Clottey and Williams go 12 with Tony. So, please. Stop yourself.
      Exactly.

      Sorry Cotto fans but he did not go out like a man tonight.

        um....how else was he going to fight back if he wasn't getting air?

        He gave all and when he thought he wasn't able to last, he bowed out. No shame.

            Did Clottey and Williams look as damaged as Cotto at the end? No huh..... then those guys weren't tested like Cotto was.... He was hurt multiple times... and he kept going... he was beaten up... he was out of juice.... and when he realized he had nothing left what was he supposed to do?

            It is different when you quit and had reserves in the tank.... in this fight Cotto threw it all in there and it wasn't enough hell he even threw the tank.... any man that does that goes out like a man in my book.

              There were a few more moments in that fight when he could have folded but he ****** it up and gave as good as he got. He was hurt, exhausted, DEFENSELESS and saw absolutely no way of stopping what was in front of him. Cotto's faced adversity before and showed he had heart. If his body was still able to continue and compete, why wouldn't he? Why do people insist that the only way for a fighter to go out is to get knocked unconcious and risk brain damage?
