    Very good timing on that jab.

    He should have thrown it more later in the fight, he had good success with it in the middle rounds. I think it was the jabs that had Mayweather bleeding from the nose.

    I didn't expect the crowd to show their appreciation of Mayweather bleeding the way they did when they saw him between rounds, that was brutal

      Love your sig, Floyd having all those celebrities by his side was a ****in joke lol


      Cotto's jab was his money punch in this fight, and imho it's the best punch in his arsenal.

        Im kinda disappointed he didnt use it as much in the beginning stages of the fight. But overall it was good. Where are the people saying cotto was too slow with it and floyd would counter it all night?

        If anybody has a better quality of the fight, would love to see a gif of this
        (1:22-26)

          Cotto wished he could use his jab all night long on Floyd but it's not because he suddenly "forgot" how to do it. He was frustrated because he couldn't find the target when he wanted to and it got him tired in the end. It was the same with De La Hoya.

          A perfect timed jab will always cause you trouble. He knocked Clottey down with that jab and kept Mosley away with it.

          Cotto's a southpaw but fights orthodox. His powershot is all in his left hand. That jab is really like a powerful straight right hand. He couldn't hurt Mayweather though.

            Yeah agreed. But he was finding it hard to use it regularly. Whereas Mayweather was landing his jab with relative ease.

              I think had Cotto used his jab as often as he did in the Mosley fight the fight would have been so much closer.

              Kudos to Miguel, that dude dispelled previous demons and debunked any notions of him being a quitter.

              MUCH respect to Cotto...

                There's a reason why Cotto couldn't use his jab at will and that reason is Mayweather. It was the same thing that happened to De La Hoya.

                    Floyd ate a good number jabs. He jumped into multiple.

                    He's no Pernell Whitaker.
