[BERNIE'S CORNER]

Miguel laughing his ass off !!! As others look for different criticisms.

STOP !!

Back up the truck.

If "people typing on internet messageboards" = genuine boxing fans.....

and

" someone in real life " = a casual fan

then

Who fkn cares what a casual fan thinks, knows, or doesnt know ?

Many people here are genuine old-school boxing fans, we dont want to see the standards in boxing drop any lower, *** the idiot casual fans who dont know **** and wouldnt care anyway. Who cares what they think?

Because of those largely disinterested clowns we have to endure fights that are scored in favor of "output", "aggression", and the very worst of all..... "the guy going forward"

*** the casual fans. Catch-weights are ****, and 1lb is just a joke. Thank you Manny for making catch-weights sooooo accepted that they have now become a factor in every fight negotiation.

That fight should be at 154, but I would have accepted 150 because.....
* catch-weights are now common as hell, unfortunately
* Cotto has been shafted TWICE
* Margarito just fought at 150, and doesnt deserve to have a say in the matter

Death to all casual fans and also to any ****head who doesnt have a clue, or care, about keeping high standards within the sport of boxing.

WOW! are you a POET? I could just imagine you on stage in a cafe with drum beats in the background performing this poem!

real powerful message...*** THE CASUAL FAN! "fist up in the air like you just don't care"!!!!

Lol. One lb. This is quirky as hell. Margarito has this boy shook. And isn't there another stipulation of where Margarito can't weigh anymore than 160 lbs?

Read the thread.

No stipulation.

[Prawn Jovi]

Whatever the weight, I'm just happy the ball is rolling and the fight is on. As with any fight, when the first bell rings everyone will forget about the specifics in negotiations and watch for someone to get clocked!

Hey, this ain't too far out there, the catchweight king Pacquiao wanted a catchweight of 145 for a 147 pound fight. Cotto just took this to an extreme and showed Pacquiao how's really done, one pound!

yep,,..i read that yesterday on another site,at ************....they don't want him over 160.but maybe that changed..i remember a couple of weeks ago cotto's fans saying he wouldn't ask for a catchweight,blah,blah,blah,and look here,a catchweight,i don't care if it's one pound or five,it's a catchweight,,,they complained when manny did it to him,they should do the same now..

I feel like i might be the only one but I'm really excited for this fight. It will be interesting to see if Cotto has improved since training with Stewart and how Margs comes back from that beat down he got by Manny. It seems like Cotto is going back to his pure boxing style after training with Stewart and that should make the difference to tip the scale in his favor for this rematch.

There must be a typo in there. It probably is 152 or somthing like that but 153? Common I smell BS.
