    Yo. I was very impressed. I thought we were gonna have another upset tonight. The fight in general was very exciting. The only thing about that Torres fell short on was he didn't attack the body at all when he had Cotto in trouble to set up his head shots.

    I also have to give Cotto props for being honest and saying that was the closest he got to being KO'd and for coming back strong everytime he got out of trouble. Props to the Boricua for that.

      if Torres was given an honest title shot i think he would have looked alot better. As of a few weeks ago Cotto didnt know whom he was going to fight,Gianluca Branco was whom he was going to fight but he got injured. If Torres had Stamina i think he would have looked differently. I dont consider the WBO a legit tittle, but i consider it a good contender base.

        The guy is way off balanced and form is horrible, he needs to get his fundamentals down first...

        Very sloppy too...with good form, he can be a monster.

          I was very impressed, he looked like he stepped in the ring at 140 and we all know when HBO doesent list the unofficial weights that the fighter is pretty blown up. Cotto looked like he was in the 154-158 area and I dont doubt that extra weight helped him take those punches a little better. Hopefully someone picks this kid up and gets him some decent fights with proper prep.

            Cotto was way under prepared for this fight.

            Where was his usuall tight defence and his speed was non existent also.

            This is a fight he should hopefully learn from and go on to better things.
