    Comments Thread For: Foreman-Cotto: The Quest For A Competitve HBO Telecast

    By Jake Donovan - It’s been more than 30 years since a boxing has been staged at Yankee Stadium, but this weekend’s featured attraction between Yuri Foreman and Miguel Cotto could potentially represent something else that hasn’t been seen in quite some time on HBO – a bout that’s both competitive and entertaining.

    You have to go back to the end of April to find a telecast that fits such a criteria. The month of May proved to be a lucrative one, thanks to the boatloads of cash generated in Floyd Mayweather’s landslide win over Shane Mosley. But from a competitive standpoint, there wasn’t a single bout for which HBO paid that even came close to delivering. [Click Here To Read More]

        well, you can say the same about cotto last few fights. not only was he not very impressive, he lost twice by way of TKO. i like cotto as a boxer but watching bob proudly introducing yuri as a young, talented israeli champion (pls, this is not racism) to the press after the santos fight makes me wonder, is cotto being fed to the lions? i mean, we all know who bob is. some of us even called him the devil. so, just thinking...

          Well this lion's got some really dull teeth.

          If Cotto still has some bullets left in his ******* he should have this.

          Use the Dead-eye Cotto!!

              I've only seen one Foreman fight......

              From what I've seen people shouldn't be expecting a freaking War cause that is simply not Foreman's style....
