Cotto is so ****ed. ***. This is some ****, I can't see him winning in June. Just can't. This is gonna take away from his training camp and ****.

Knowing Cotto he'll prob go out drinking and what not and get his weight all ****ed up.

So, because Cotto used self-defense he is going to be charged with something? His uncle was trying to kill Cotto, and cotto pays the price?

Damn, Cotto fucked his uncle up. This is bad for Cotto considering his upcoming fight, so I hope Cotto can get his head cleared up and let the **** settle.

The police should stay out of this, sometimes two men just have to beat the crap out of each other to hash things out.

This is insanity. I knew and the world knew these guys did not get along but this is ridiculous. In a sense it's a good thing this whole debacle reached it's end because obviously this relationship was detrimental to Cotto's frame of mind, being always around a guy you're constantly feuding.

But holy **** a brawl? In training camp, amongst all those people? Then it continues later on where Evangelista follows Miguel to his apartment? And throws a brick at him?? I can understand a fight amongst men but that's insane **** when you start using friggin' bricks to try and seriously hurt the man, maybe even kill him.

Evangelista is not well in the head. You don't physically assault your nephew. That's family why would you do that. And you definitely don't follow him to his home when he left to prevent the situation from escalating further to throw bricks at him. Absolutely surreal, crazy situation.

I don't know which is worse an uncle attacking his nephew or the nephew defending himself but maybe going too far and hurting his uncle pretty bad. How the hell is Cotto going to manage training for Clottey with this circus going on around him assuming he is charged.

i trust that nothing will come of this, making a big deal out of a familial beat down; it happens!

I'm from Caguas and I'll be the firtst one to tell you that this is all bull****. The police aren't going to do **** and Cotto, Evangelista or anyone who was there won't say ****. This is a family squabble and Evangelista got what he deserved.
