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

[Mirage MGM]

Fight was really close if you ignore the replays which 95% of them was Mayweather landing shots, and the commentating. I'll probably rewatch it tomorrow.

Yup the replay was biased. Cotto threw bombs and good body shots in there. Sky sports had better highlight real for cotto's potent punches. Floyd's gashing nose tells it all.

and pac destroyed cotto...and hatton, and delahoya, and mosley...
hey, atleast floyd/floyd fans can brag about his fight with marquez, in which floyd ignored the catchweight, paid off the overage weight fee...ignoring to make the catchweight is much worse than pac having cotto lose 1 pound off of his normal 146 official weigh in weight for their 145 catchweight...and needless to say, the sucka punch against ortiz

lol true.. This is all they can brag about now hehe

Just wanted to make sure everyone was using proper numbers to compare

Pac seems to be more accurate fighting cotto. Now I can see why Floyd is dodging him.

Larry explicitly asked him about the PURSE SPLIT and what does Floyd answer with? The same ol' trusty 'take the test' routine. Its getting really old Floyd.

Dodging maybe? I think he miscalculated Cotto.. He chose cotto thinking it's going to be a cakewalk now making a mistake fighting him will only make floyd think of another road block for sure..

After this fight i will put my money with Pacquiao if finally they meet.. Pacman will win ud... This make me change the bet for that fight...

You just realized that floyd is human like most of us, and he defintely can't compete with a typhoon from the pacific.

Great fight. Cotto fought a great fight, applied pressure when needed, tactically had the right intentions.

116-112 in favor of Mayweather for me.

After watching the fight I feel Pacquiao has a decent shot at beating Mayweather. His straight left through the middle is punch that would give Mayweather nightmares.

steward is much better he understands a good jab and double jab is

helpful from floyds straight right counter

also WHY DONT THESE FIGHTERS GO TO THE BODY ONLY WHEN FLOYD IS

ON THE DAMN ROPES, YOU CANT HIT HIS HEAD, STAY ON THE BODY

Coz if you noticed when cotto got in he would tie him up and muscle cotto so he can't punch.. Floyd's upper body looks massive. Bigger than Cotto. a legit 154 fighter.. Roiding maybe.. He got bigger..

That straight left will get Floyd one way or the other. Pac will throw that left with abandon.

I think the reason this fight was close was Cotto's strength. Everytime Floyd tied him up, he would walk Floyd to the ropes. I think if Cotto was not so strong, Floyd would not have got taken to the ropes so much and it would have been a more dominant performance.
All in all, I thought the rounds were close, I didn't score it at the time but I would say Cotto won 3 rounds clear, Mayweather won 6 rounds clear and the others were up for grabs.
Mayweather does not have the accuracy he once had, I noticed this in the Ortiz fight (which I was ringside).
He is not as calm when he is in the action anymore and this is causing him to close his eyes a bit when getting hit and this is why his counters are missing more.
Mayweather is way past prime but Cotto looked really strong and fast so it was a great win at 35 as thats the best I've seen Cotto in a long time.

actually the blue print didn't come from cotto it's from the ortiz 4th round fight. Ortiz pressing floyd to the ropes I can see now floyd's weakness..

Ortiz showed the way..
