That is a mistake that should not happen again. Contrary to Cotto, JuanMa is not known to screw around when not trainning. In Puerto Rico, Cotto is known as a guy who loves to go out, hang out, get drunk, chase women and even do some coke. JuanMa is more of a disciplined athlete. Then again, as a boxer, he understimated his opponent and almost paid for it with a loss.
It's imposible to please everyone, but the facts are the following:
1) It's the first time that JuanMa goes the distance in a fight, he ran out of gas...
2) There were 2 knockdowns that were not recognized by the referee.
3) Mtagwa got a difficult style, and can take a punch. (Africans got bigtime stamina)
4) JuanMa won at least 8 rounds.
5) JuanMa needs to keep his gloves up.
6) If JuanMa KO Mtagwa in the first round... (he knocked up a bum)
7) No need for a re-match, JuanMa would make adjustments and kill him.
8) Juanma can outbox an opponent.
9) Noone expeted the brawl we witnessed and we should not complaint for a good fight that was worth the money. (for those that paid for the PPV)
10) Every single boxing star had had a bad night, let's see if juanma learned from it.
11) BoB Arum is **** if JuanMa doesn't fight Caballero next.
12) Styles makes fights. Mathebula beated Caballero, got robbed. Mtagwa would had probably KO Caballero.
13) Rojas and Luveano are top featherweights... would love to see them fight juanma and Gamboa. (I am not entirely sure, but I believe Rojas beated JuanMa as an amateur)
14) Both Gamboa and Juanma better improve their defenses or else, they will be KO against better opponents.
15) Mtagwa took JuanMa for twelve rounds, and that doesn't take value away from JuanMa, to the contrary, it shows that in boxing any given Saturday, you my win or lose fight. Juanma is not an exception.
Last but not least, 1,000,000 PPVs for a boring fight between the suppose best boxer in the world against a blown boxer who was two-to-three weight classes below couple of weeks ago. A fight that was boring with an expected outcome.
Tonight there were 7,000 people watching the streaming of this fight (over 1,000 from Puerto Rico)... this fight will have a very low number of PPVs... this fight was a war worth watching. Latin Fury PPVs suck and usually are joke, JuanMa and Mtagwa saved the night. As a boxing fan, I really enjoy Tonight's main event, and to say the contrary will be unrespectful to Boxing as a sport.
