    did u guys not see on multiple occasion when abduleav seemed to have hurt cotto in the body
    so hes suscepptible to right hands and lefts to the body
    he can always come back lookin better his next fight
    its not unheard of
    but this fight made him look like ****
    he really did look bad last nite

    he keeps his facial and body composure
    but watch his punches
    soon as he gets hit
    they change
    they are no longer the crisp clean punches of a rising propect
    but just another guy tryin to throw punches to keep someone off of him

    Besides the susceptibility to the right upstairs, I saw NO real weaknesses in Cotto last night. He had a tough guy in front of him and he adapted to pummel this guy and turn his face into one big swelling...
    plz dont insult the sport and urself with sucha weak case of look at his face
    ur better then that gringo
    i know u know a face doesnt tell the story of a fight
    not comparen him to gatti
    but countless times he comes out lookin the beaten fighter and its just not the case
    he was in a fight
    ofcourse hell have marks
    cotto didnt see to have any
    some guys just dont cut or mark

          You all act like Cotto is the only person who gets hit in boxing. He has flaws but every other boxer has flaws also.

            Cotto looked really really good last night. Now this was against Mohamman Abduelav who isnt a bad fighter but isnt a top fighter in the division. Ill be interested to see how he fares in his next fight which could be against a top light welterweight contender.

              no
              i act like hes not a guy that looks like he can compete with top guys
              course the other top guys get nailed and what not
              but not as often as cotto was last nite
              and by another guy who himself had yet to prove himself

                He got hit alot?? You must watch tv with your eyes closed.

                This was tough fight because both fighters were excercising good defense.

                  cotto did get hit with some pretty good shots I remember abduelav hit him once with a vicious right after the break and cotto acted like it was nothing.

                    Says who? You? Your opinion is ****, your whole view of the fight ids ******. You dont know anything about boxing, stop hating. You think Abbie came out the better fighter, you make no sense.
