[incredible]

Looks like the gloves are getting ready to come off. Begun this relentless clash has -- let the smack talking begin.

[Slyboots]

Holy crap. I have never ever seen Cotto talk smack like that.

That is freakin awesome!

I've been asking myself that same question for a while. I know he's serves as a sort of impromptu translator but I don't think that's his real job. He just hangs around boxers, particularly Cotto.

Ricardo Jimenez, Top Rank publicist and one of the most sincere gents in the game. His credentials go well beyond "just hanging around boxers."

Cotto's "anger" looked very very staged. Not buying it (the anger I mean, I'm getting the fight though)

u right,didn't realize what he did,i know it' not the topic of what we are talking,but this is wha the does:
In 2000, he was recruited by Bob Arum, President and Founder of Top Rank Inc, the largest boxing promotional company in the world to help promote the top Hispanic boxers in that boxing company as well as promoting two boxing series for Univision and DirecTV Latin America.

Over the last six years, Jimenez has taken Erik Morales, Jose Luis Castillo, Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto and many others to the next level as they have become household names in the Latino markets in the United States, Puerto Rico and Mexico.

As Top Rank publicist, Jimenez handles all promotional opportunities for the Hispanic boxing stars of Top Rank, from arranging newspapers, radio and television interviews for the fighters, to translation and serving as a liaison for Top Rank and the such top television networks as HBO, Showtime, ESPN, Univision and Telefutura where Top Rank Boxers appear regularly.

He can coordinate an event from top to bottom. He can write and distribute press releases in English and Spanish to over 100 media sources in the United States, Puerto Rico and Mexico, as well as organize Press Conferences and work behind the cameras to ensure that the narrators, producers and technicians have the necessary information to give the fans as complete a telecast as possible, and for the boxing promoters to get their money's worth on any Top Rank event.

lol,just in case anybody else wondered the same thing as me,didn't know who this guy was or what he did...

Cotto's comedic timing is a little off, but it's okay.



These are the times I wish I understood Spanish. Can somebody please translate what Mayorga was moaning about?
