Yep...fans and haters alike will watch him, just to see what happens. Never a boring fight. More than ever, both will want to see what he's got after his 2 devastating losses, his Dads death, and whether of not he can overcome his demons and regain his confidence and swagger, and mostly his ability to regain an effective, adaptive, style that can win him fights.

They're going to replay it a few times...i saw the schedule. Better catch it before they stop airing it. I recorded a replay cuz i forgot it wasn't ppv, and didn't record it.

It was an amazing night in the Bronx.. I was fortunate enough to go.. It was pretty crazy..

All was great till some people started screaming "Cotto Cotto" during the israeli national anthem.. I thought that was really disrespectful.. but everything else was great..

Cotto may be my fav boxer, but Manny is the most exciting boxer to watch, imo. I get adrenaline rushes watching him go nuts, in killer mode.

That's good. Hopefully we get more fights like this on regular HBO.
