The Quality of the First 4 Rounds are Being Underrated

[SkillspayBills]

Those are rounds we will be highlighting for years. Great ****ing fight until Cotto lost it.

[Chups]

Exactly bro, look at what happened to Ali after the Foreman fight.

He became a legend? Will never be forgotten?

I dont think this mentally **** matters at all. There was absolutly nothing he could have done to beat Pac.

I agree. I just think a couple years ago he would have been more game to go toe to toe for a couple more rounds before he retreated for good.

All I'm saying is the action and skill of the first 4-5 rounds was amazing. The give and take, the ebb and flow, it was freakin' amazing.

I agree those first five rounds were amazing to watch. These guys were showing the world the beauty of this sport when it is done right.

It matters in boxing because is a mental sport as well as a physical sport. Would he had done better if this was the undefeated Cotto of 06-07? I can't answer that question maybe probably he would have but to say "mental" don't matter is ******.

People forget Cotto won the first round and was winning round 3 and 4 but he got KD. Then he started moving back insted of bringing pressure to Pacquiao or boxing in the midle of the ring. and pacquiao's face did not look good after the fight so Cotto did some damage but mentaly Cotto is not the same guy he was back in 06-07.

Hi there

It was, but Cotto was ruined mentally by Margarito he lost his come forward through everything approach. He had that fight up till the 2nd knockdown he only lost the 2nd round in my opinion except for the knockdowns. But Marg, as a lot of people said, took something from Cotto and after the way he looked against Manny I'm not sure if he'll ever get it back. There has to be a Marg/Cotto rematch and Cotto's going to have get what he lost back in that fight, if that's even possible.

How was he ruined mentally by Margrito?

He was trying to fight smart. He only got knocked down because he was throwing everthing he had at Pac.

He, like most people, believed he could hurt Pac if he caught him. He was wrong.

I think his loss to Margrito is grossly overplayed. He looked fine in his last few fights against very tough WW.
Pac just destroyed him.

[The Noose]

And yea. Those early rounds were great. Seemed like it could of gone either way up until the 2nd KD.

[Pullcounter]

The first 4-5 rounds of this fight were phenomenal.

I mean, as good as we thought this fight could have been, the first half lived up to that and then some. Cotto just couldn't sustain that pace.

But how about we appreciate just how good the first half of the fight was?

People were predicting a high speed chess match....that's EXACTLY what the first half was.

THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT COTTO ISN'T SHOT!!!! HE'S JUST A 6 ROUND FIGHTER JUST LIKE i TOLD ALL YOU COTTO STANS!!!!

bwahahahahah!!!!

BWHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!

EAT IT *****!!! SUCK IT!!! SWALLOW IT!!! YOU TALK SO MUCH BULL****!!!! RIGHT IN YOUR MUTHA****IN VAGINA!!!!! BWAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Cotto did alot better then expected; some people are overlooking that. This wasn't exactly B-Hop vs. Pavlik, far from that really. Cotto was able to outbox Pacquiao for most of the rounds, only to have Pacquiao steal them in the last seconds. Cotto ate some really hard body shots early on also.

WTF???!!! COTTO IS THE ELITE LEGIT WW THAT IS RANKED #2!!!! HE GOT ****ING MURKED BY A FORMER 106 LBER!!!!! AND HE STARTED RUNNING LIKE A *****!!!! HE WANTED TO QUIT IN THE 11TH!!!!

SO MUCH BULL****TING SINCE BEFORE THE FIGHT EVEN GOT SIGNED!!!! ****IN TAKE IT IN YOUR WHINY ASS VAGINAS COTTO STANS!!!!!!

[Iceta]

Cotto lost to a guy who he probably outweiged on fight night along with the fact that Pacquiao's training camp was a lot worse than Cotto's. This mentally shot **** needs to go out the window. Pac is just the better fighter.
