Juanma: "They Should Have Stopped it in Round 7 or 8"

[president]

Cotto was shot and weight drained.


Why are you proud of a running quitter?

Same reason you are proud of a runner, and soon-to-be quitter.

...make more sense if they stopped it. The reason why he started backing up was he found out that He didn't have the power to actually beat Pac, even if he just boxes and uses his jab and if he misses, he will get hit 4 times. As I predicted Pac was just too fast and Cotto was just too slow..what was surprising was that Pac let himself get hit and Cotto didn't take advantage of it..When Pac took all of Cottos punches and still was able to go on and attack Cotto, it was actually the end of it. Cotto for me is still the best WW, He just lost to a boxing phenom and there is no shame there. Cotto fought the best boxer and didn't turn down any boxer.
Unlike Mayweather, classless! He is a welterweight but who did he beat other than Baldomir and Dela Hoya ? he almost lost to ODLH. He should fight Mosley first and try to get the Sugar's belt, then He can fight Pac.

Great fight last saturday!

I agree with you baby, lets give credit to Cotto... he is the real warrior.

It so happens that Pac is really fast and strong for him.

Proud to be Pinoy..... PACMAN the Great..

I am puerto rican, I know Juanma isn't talking ****?!?!?!? Stopping the fight in the 7th or 8th. If we went by that logic they should have stopped his last fight when he was almost KTFO and ran the last 3rds as well.

I was about to post the same exact thing!

[zeidrich]

cotto have a puncher chance so i dont agree with lopez

this is what i think on why its not stopped

cotto i still trying for a hail mary shot w/c has a good chance of landing

[ShoguNinja]

Nah! I dont agree with Juanma! Cotto always has a Punchers Chance but not againts Pacquiao who took away his heart and his will to win. The only thing left for Cotto in that fight is his Pride not to get KTFO and be added to Pacs highlight reel.lol

[lopez36]

funny how pacman motioned to him to fight and cotto ran ran ran....lol

This is a post I made a couple of hours after the Pacquiao-Cotto fight. I was kind of heated. It's simply copy/pasted here....


The ref should have stopped this fight earlier. But there were people in Cotto's corner that bore an even greater responsibility to Miguel. Joe Santiago, turn in your punch mitts! This is YOUR fighter. YOU are ultimately responsible for his career and, more importantly, his health.

Cotto was getting busted up in there. If you think it looks bad on TV, even in hi-def, it looks worse live. I don't know where Miguel's trainer's head was at. Maybe he was holding such a grudge against Freddie Roach that he wanted to make him eat his words at all costs.

There came a point, long before the (un)merciful stoppage, where it became clear that Cotto stood NO CHANCE of winning the fight against Manny. When that point was reached, SOMEONE'S finger should have been hovering over the "eject" button. Joe Santiago, you were asleep at the wheel!

HUGE props to Manny Pacquiao for a career-affirming, unquestionable victory over Miguel Cotto. (I wonder how I could have ever doubted you.) BIG props to Miguel for fighting on in the face of a murderous beatdown, like the true warrior he is. (No surprise that you wanted to continue.) Last, AND least: Thanks, Joe, for destroying what was left of a great fighter and class act. If Miguel Cotto wasn’t broken after Margarito, he surely is NOW.

Very true...

It seems Melissa knows more about boxing and the dangers and hazards it brings to a boxer than "Average" Joe as she walked out just before the 9th round ended. The inexperienced corner almost cause Miguel Cotto's boxing career...

[El_Cholo]

Cotto looked finished after that left uppercut that sent him down.

[mellow_mood]

tell them goat!!! we know u know!

[EL ANIMAL]

your failure to see the connection with running scared and floyd mayweather is a bigger mystery than the meaning of life. You should be spanked like a baby for calling cotto a *****. The man fought with grit and steely determination until bayless stepped in. Credit where credit is due. Both of those men are warriors in their own right.

nuff said!!!
