Comments Thread For: Mayweather Goes To War, Defeats Cotto in Twelve

[TerrisJ3]

I don't see why people are saying Floyd has slowed??? Miguel only had success when he trapped Floyd on the ropes, what I thought would happen from time to time. And even then, Floyd dipped and dodged most of the punches, and countered Cotto a ton off the ropes.

I thought he looked the same as the Mosley and Ortiz fights, how about you???

the thing is... Cotto is not Mosley or Ortiz. and i think we all found that out the hard way tonight, especially Mayweather!

Cotto has the most effective jab than anyone from 140lbs-154lbs.

Which is why I don't understand why he didn't use it more, especially in the later rounds where he was fading

Cotto has one of the best jabs. Ever.

You gotta love Manny, at least he gives chances to accomplished fighters like Bradley. He ain't giving no young fairy tails a chance like surfer boy Ortiz who came off a life and death struggle against the Berto hype train.

Manny gets mauled by both of them tonight at 154 , and Floyd would toy with Bradley at 147 , the only reason Bradley got the fight is because Pac DUCKED Cotto and Bob had promised Tim the fight 6 mths ago , Pac is better off fighting JWW and LWs because everybody is on to his draining CW scams .

There were some close rounds, and everyone is automatically giving Floyd the close rounds.

I felt while watching the fight that it was a really close fight. I didn't know who was going to get the decision. I need to re-watch it though in a more relaxed state of mind. Great fight

you must've watched the fight on you phone or something. Floyd clearly won. Didn't dominate the rounds but clearly won way more rounds even if you're generous to Cotto. Good fight for Cotto though. Don't know why he stormed out and didn't interview, but he did that after Margarito beat him too.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

yea, the jab because cotto is one-handed, the jab is his dominant hand, and the left is the money punch vs floyd, everyone who knows anything knows that

with pacquiao it'll be a cross tho, not a jab

Cotto is far from one handed, what happened is that Floyd stands in that philly shell and doesn't let himself get hit with the right hand much.

Cotto was doing right by leading with a stiff left jab and throwing the right hook to the body and setting up the left hook up top.

Either way Floyd won a UD, had it scored 8-4 for Floyd but have to give Cotto his props, he made it a much tougher fight than I expected.

Pac is the only fight I want to see Floyd in now. Pac as a lefty with that left hand coming so fast would be interesting to see how Floyd handles that.

I was off on my late stoppage prediction. But it was a clear UD for Mayweather. I need to watch it again, but I had him winning 8 or 9 rounds. He had Cotto hurt in the 12th, I just wish he would have pressed him and possibly got him out of there.

Cotto was a tougher test for sure, Floyd still won a wide and comfortable UD. The fact we have clowns saying the fight was close, let alone Cotto won, is a testament to how dominant Floyd is and how much people hate Floyd.

And Floyd was actually respectful tonight as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how repsectful he was the HBO.

[mikemurni]

Yeah it wasn't, but he still schooled Pac there and got robbed.

How does that differ from Floyd barely squeezing a win over Cotto..

[spoonwars]

Bradley is his first legit fight since Cotto/Clottey, his first absolute prime opponent since Solis, and his best opponent selection since Marquez in 08'....

Ortiz was the #2 ranked WW after beating Berto, and I recall a bunch of fans on here saying "Pac-Ortiz, good fight if it gets made" and "Floyd won't fight Ortiz, too much of a risk".

You're a troll, and you need to grow up.

Really? When was Mayweather's last legit fight before Cotto? Baldomir? Judah? Clown.
