    Boys, Let's give Miguel credit. Yuri too for that matter....

    I can see people throwing out Yuri being hurt and what not.

    Let's be real, the fight was going the way it went. Yuri, however, fought like a man. You can say he ran all you want. At the end of the day he fought like a champ.

    But Cotto....it was a very good win. Not a career changing win, but one that can lead us to believe that he is still a factor. And it was pretty entertaining as usual with Cotto fights.

    Cheers to Cotto...he still seems like he wants it, if nothing else.

    Although I picked Yuri to win, I wasn't overly impressed with Miguel. I'm not sure where he goes from here to be honest savor.

      I respect your opinion my man.

      I don't think it was a dominant performance by any means.

      But I think it showed that if matched right, Cotto can still give most everyone trouble.

        I agree with you, he should stay away from punches for a while. But he could fit just fine in the division he looks good tonight, it wasn't an expectacular performance but his stamina was better than it used to be.

          Just got back from Yankee Stadium myself...

          Not too impressed with Cotto's performance...I thought Yuri would offer more...he does have a lotta guts tho...that ankle ended him...although he was losing anyway IMO...

                He was hitting cotto w/ counters and he's avoiding cotto's punches.....IMO, it was a 50/50 match before the injury...now, we'll never know what could have happened if the fight reached 12 rounds...

                    I agree........insane

                    Are you close to being legally blind or something?

                    The fight wasn't even close.
