Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

[NEETzsche]

i gave cotto 3 rounds, based on mayweather taking his foot off the gas in them.

Long post ahead. TL;DR...Cotto won and I'm surprised how much people let their admiration for a fighter and/or the media's shenanigans fool them into thinking Floyd won by UD.

First want to say that I came into the fight cheering for Cotto, but knowing Floyd would win. I'm not a Cotto fan. I'm not a fan a Floyd's Money persona either, but a major sucker for his story, seemingly invincibility, and superb defensive skills. I thought Cotto should've lost a split decision to Clottey, so I'm not delusional fan of his. I also think Floyd would beat Pacquiao's ass, so I'm not delusional fan of Pacquiao. I'm a fan of boxing.

Last night, as a boxing fan with no agenda, I saw Cotto beat Floyd by UD. If you want to be generous, Cotto won by MD. He was the one controlling the whole fight. Yes, he got caught by some flashy counters, and Floyd did throw some crowing pleasing combinations. However, none of that hurt Cotto (apart from that nice left uppercut in the last round that shook Cotto a bit), and more importantly, none of Floyd's attack disrupted him in his overall game plan. Cotto had an answer for everything Floyd did. Cotto hit Floyd everywhere and so many times. I was mind-blown. He was well prepared. Great job by Diaz. I watched the fight twice already. First time live, high, and second time this morning, sober. Same result.

Floyd has insane defensive skills, but they are just that. He didn't do anything significant on the offensive end. Cotto was the better man that night. I'm pretty surprised people would think otherwise. I guess everybody has their agenda. It makes me mad actually.

[conspiracy theory]
Everything was wrong: the announcer, the scores, the punch stats. Cotto knows, that's why he left early, in disgust...I would've done the same...think JMM. Floyd also knows, that's why his voice was trembling in the interview with Merchant. Gotta keep selling the lie, but it's hard being a live actor. Diaz was right. Invincible man only exists in movie. This whole thing is a movie.

I became a fan of Cotto yesterday. I did some boxing before, but stopped because I'm a chicken and an anti-social guy. However Cotto is making me want to do it again. I want to honor him and his boxing style. He truly his one of the best in this generation. I thank him for the great fight.

Mine, fly as usual. No big deal.

Firstly pay my 50 Mil that Cotto got to the 9th round. For a guy who thought Cotto was a harder match up, you expected him to get stopped.

Secondly you can watch round 1 of the Judah fight just to see that a straight left can land flush. The shell doesn't work as well against south paws, basic knowledge. I suggest go to a gym and spar and you will see, if you even box.

Do you?

Pac feints pretty well and can counter, be aggressive. Cotto is no more unpredictable than Pac. Cotto comes in with a jab, throws hooks to the body and head, or vice versa. Unpredictable? He was doing this since mofo time.

Yeah.. Actually I do.
have been training since 13 but on and off since 17.
I know a little about boxing my friend.
I tell you right now, the orthodox jag isn't anything close to the left cross.
Same way the southpaw jab isn't anything close to a right cross.

I have found I have a lot of problems with the southpaws jab but I never have problems with a orthodox's right.
and by nature I have a pretty passive style and like to wait for my opponent to attack.
When i spar a southpaw I wait until they uncork their left hand than I answer back with maybe a 2-1 or 2-3 combo.

What did I say About my bet that Mayweather would stop Cotto?
I set it up on a gut feeling a couple of hours before the fight..
I have been predicting Cotto to give Mayweather problems for months, even putting a parley bet on Cotto beating Mayweather

ohh and your money... Relaaax I will send it soon.

Is is just me or did you also shake your head in disgust when Michael Buffer announced the fight was for the WBA Super Welterweight and the"WBC Diamond Belt Championship"?

Seriously, what the hell is that!?

No sanctioning body disgusts me more then the WBC

Better recognize fool

If Mayweather-Cotto was competitive in 2012, imagine 2008.

I've always said that Mayweather-Cotto (2008) would've been a damn good scrap. Considering the outcome and how competitive it was last night, how do you guys see this fight playing out before Mayweather retired and Cotto fought Margarito?

I always thought Mayweather would've won, but damn, that would've been a good fight.

[zab191]
