[ihatebobarum]

maybe but floyd di'nt do ****...where was his pullcounter?...he only scored with pittypat counters that was it...he lost and cotto got robbed bigtime

we getting late night comedy on bsc tonight people.

[tornillo57]

Don't know what was worse, Cotto's pink socks or Floyd coming into the ring with Justin Beiber....

LOL!!

I thought the same

[Fistic]

By the way, were are all the idiots that said Cotto was going to get "Gatti'd"?

[Kagami Taiga]

It's not awful and well in line with plenty. 3 was very close, 5 Lederman scored for Cotto and I thought it was clear (and agreed).

Here's my RbR (did it for CBZ). Feel free to disagree. Wouldn't be the first time:

Round One

Good feeling out round...Mayweather blocking well and landing some good jabs...Cotto had some answers late and came at the body...Mayweather with some swift counters.

Mayweather 10-9

Round Two

One of the better action rounds of Mayweather's career...Maywweather fought largely off the ropes..won the first half of the round and they contested hot down the stretch...Cotto landed some nice hooks...Mayweather cleaner.

Mayweather 20-18

Round Three

Cotto had a solid frame, counter jabbing and landing some nice body shots...Mayweather countered well early but was outboxed in spots down the stretch.

Mayweather 29-28

Round Four

Early on, a clinic of Mayweather right hands...Cotto landed some nice stuff to the body in the last thirty seconds, but not enough to steal the frame.

Mayweather 39-37

Round Five

Really good, hard round...Cotto on top of Mayweather for long stretches...blocking better than in previous rounds, but still getting touched...caught Mayweather to the head and body well...May closed strong...Cotto round.

Mayweather 48-47

Round Six

Less eventful round...Cotto went boxer after landing some heavy body shots...Floyd' bloodied up on the nose...maybe Cotto's clearest round so far...all even.

57-57

Round Seven

Cotto went back to pressing and had some luck taking the right hand away for stretches...Mayweather won with nice combo punching in the second half.

Mayweather 67-66

Round Eight

Awesome round...Mayweather tatooing him off the ropes early...Cotto came on and worked him to the body...rough round and Cotto's.

Even 76-76

Round Nine

Mayweather holding more this round...Cotto controlled much of the round but Floyd had a strong late rally...Not enough to swing it.

Cotto 86-85

Round Ten

Bit of a rally round for Mayweather...Cotto still did good body work, but Mayweather found the target well and did the better work over 3 minutes.

Even 95-95

Round Eleven

Another solid frame...Cotto had moments but Mayweather was a step ahead with a strong, clean punching finish.

Floyd 105-104

Round Twelve

Floyd had a masterful final round...had Cotto ready to go but Miguel held to finish...best battle of Floyd's career.

Floyd 115-113

Official scores: 117-111 twice, 118-110 for Mayweather

to me, its another case of what jro posted about a while ago. the underdog doing better than expected. because lets be honest. there werent many rounds won clearly by cotto. and whats to be argued? he wasnt the more aggressive fighter and he didnt land more and he certainly didnt land the cleaner punches so the only way i see the close cards making a lot of sense is no1 expected cotto to do so well and no1 expected floyd to have a bloody nose and a little swelling on his face.

[Reloaded]

cotto pac was 3 years ago

cotto has grown into 154 and was still smaller than floyd

also cotto weighed in at 146 the fight right before pac when he could have

made 147 the limit, so he weighed in under the limit. so down one more

pound at that time was not detrimental

dont flip the script..

floyds toughest fight will be pac...

This was the best shape Cotto has ever been in he was very strong and lots of stamina , Pac will be one of Floyds easist fights you wait and see , Cotto was always going to be a tougher fight not being 10 pounds lighter at 145 , Pac ducked this Cotto for a reason , Floyd has just way too much skill for Manny he will make him look like lost little boy lost .

**** it.....


Mayweather vs. Cotto II



GREAT night.

My thoughts exactly! REMATCH!

[mikemurni]

It really isn't.

The jab is the only shot that's ever landed with regularity. The trailing hand very rarely hits Mayweather as they require more movement and with his eye's and reflexes, he see's them coming and makes them miss.

You need a jab to give Mayweather problems and you need to be the bigger guy.

Not if you're a southpaw because your left hand lead has a direct access to the openings that a jab (from an orthodox stance) will have...The difficult part though would be landing the combination because you are leading with your "strong/power" hand...But what's good about Pac is that the punches from his right hand is as strong as his power punch..

Cotto won rounds 6 and 8, I could maybe see one more, maybe.

Round 5, yes Cotto had Floyd on the ropes, but he got busted up by Floyd's counters while he had there, and Floyd ended up out landing by a significant margin.

One thing is for sure, though Victor Ortiz was a good fight against the #2 WW and he's a good fighter, Miguel Cotto was a tougher test at 154 than Ortiz at 147 was.

Having the fight even going into the 11th is absurd.

Utterly absurd.

[spoonwars]

People trying to comparr pac and floyd by opponents. If they were to fight manny would struggle. Cotto is a better technical fighter than pac, hes just not a good matchup head to head.

Manny would beat most left hand dominant fighters ever around his weight. Its the right hand that pac has issues with.

After Bradley makes manny look bad people will see.

Cotto is a better technical fighter than Pac, and that's why Pac destroyed him.

Brilliant.
