Comments Thread For: Mayweather Fends Off a Determined Cotto in Las Vegas

[dukecanela]

and there are some who think floyd won clearly....this is comedy

Cotto didnt land****, just a few jabs. Thats it!! may ****ed Cottos left eye up. did you see cottos face after the fight. MAyweather was fresh in the 12, while Cotto was on shaky ground. Cotto did nothing to adjust when he saw his strategy wasnt working.

You have a Pacman avatar so...

I honestly don't know how any rational person would even say that Cotto won. People like them belong over at e@side boxing

I say it. So did the LA Times and USA Today. 115-113, both.

I also said Cotto would not get a decision no matter what unless he knocked down Mayweather early.

Cotto pushed and kept Floyd in a cirner, but it was Floyd who was dishing out the punishment. Most of Cottos punches were slipped and rolled. Floyd ****ed cottos face up and had him badly hurt in the 12. Sorry but it wasnt even close. and the few rounds that cotto might hhave won, werent really clear. Cotto never dominated for more than 1 minute.

NOTICEL gave the fight to Mayweather, 115-113. I can live with that.
USA TODAY and LA Times, 115-113, Cotto.

Some judges give close rounds to the Champ, cause they think the challenger has to prove himself. Some judges give close rounds to the fighter that presses the action.

Here it seems judges are either star struck, pro-industry, or just bought.

I'm not automatically giving Floyd Mayweather any close rounds just because he's Mayweather.

How did I know this was coming. A bunch of idiot Pacquiao fans talking **** who dont know **** about boxing. Mayweather fought Cotto as a weight Cotto was comfortable at. He also fought him while Cotto was coming off a career resurrecting win. Not a weight drained Cotto who was coming off a career changing loss.

That clown Pacquiao drained all his weight because he was afraid to move up. Unlike Floyd who stepped up to the plate and didnt fret over a couple pounds. He came into the fight 147.

No one with sense will question that Mayweather won the fight clearly. Unlike the last Marquez Pacquiao fight in which Pacman got his ass kicked and handed a decision. Marquez put on a boxing clinic.

You guys should just be worried about Bradley. He's a dangerous young fighter. Mayweather wins AGAIN proving he belongs with the GOAT. Hell of a fight. Hey, how much money will Pacquiao make off the Bradley fight? What is he guaranteed?

When you have nothing but celebrities behind you and don't get KO'd, you won't lose. 26% landed to 21%. The effective punches were Cottos. LEDDERMAN even went back on his word. Cotto hasn't walked out on post fight interview since he got cheated with plaster. Coincidence? Who was running, bleeding? Lol I saw FloydMayweather win 4 - 6 rounds - (1,4,6,9,12) the most, some by a landslide, but who didn't see that ASS whipping? I like Floyds skill buy I never seen him all ****rd up like thay in mh life. You got TL be a real *****. Great Fight, bad decision. Floyd held on too much, and Cotto could have let go more, but it wasn't a loss at all? Do people know boxing? Is anybody thinking about @FloydMayweather walking in with the oddest group of people? Triple H has more $ than 50. I'm not Floyd bashing, I give Floyd his rounds. I lost all respect for #Boxing. By far, that is not a win for FloydMayweather. It's all about the money, this is BS. -- Off boxing scene brothers. Those guys weren't just Floyd fans, trust me. Even though I disagree with this agreement, I am keeping my word. One love to all the true boxing fans who see through the bull****. @TJayMacks, hit me up for some real ****.

The minute I read your comment I knew you were Rican without looking at your avatar. This is the problem with cotto fans, they only say half truths. First of all, No plaster was used vs Margarito it's a fact (maybe Cotto did ), and you talk about hugging? Cotto was hugging and running for dear life in the rematch before the fight was stopped. Other than that I agree Cotto won vs Floyd.

The wife was going for Cotto, I was going for Mayweather. I want Pac to get the glory of defeating Mayweather. However I saw Cotto winning round after round, at the end I knew Cotto won. But I also knew there was no way he was going to get the win without a knockout.
Cotto's highguard was blocking most of Mayweather's shots. Right of the bat the first 3 rounds were Cotto's.

[lacson]

We had the volume down while watching, can't stand the colonel's non-stop, blabbing. So I wasn't listening to any biased opinions during the fight. And the impression I got was Cotto deserved that win.

I'll be looking at it again. Maybe I'll look at the HBO version next.

Great fight no doubt and a very strong performance by Cotto but please cut the bull ***** everyone who says Cotto was robbed. Competitive doesnt equal a win man. Floyd fought his hardest fight and CLEARLYwon the fight he had to dig deep and fight, thats what champions do.

It was a very good fight & Cotto fought his heart out & gave Floyd a MUCH better fight that what many thought or were predicting, but Floyd skills were too much for Cotto..They both were in shape & came to fight & to win..Cotto had a good game plan & had his moments, but Floyd's defense was as great as always & made Cotto miss a lot shots & Cotto defense wasn't bad cause he did block a lot of shot & made Floyd miss, but not as good as his opponent.Floyd hurt Cotto really bad in the 12th & final round, he even wobbled Cotto but I don't think Floyd even noticed cause he didn't go for the kill & let Cotto recover & like a true warrior Cotto then came on trying to do his thing.& in a post fight interview Floyd said he wanted to take Cotto out but couldn't but the most important thing was to get that win..Undoubtedly Cotto gave Floyd 1 of his toughest(if not the toughest)fights of his career & has nothing to be ashamed of, too bad the scorecards didn't show that..I had 116-112 & yahoo sports had even closer at 115-113..Even thou the score cards weren't the most accurate it doesn't take away the fact that Floyd clearly won the fight & I don't see the reason Cotto walked away without giving a post fight interview cause the announcers & the fans have no fault of what the judges do & if he wasn't happy with the scoring, he should have spoke his mind out at the post fight interview & not walk away like some spoiled sentimental brat..& the excuse that he had to use the restroom, C'MON!!That's just some dum B U L L S H I T!!
