Comments Thread For: Team Cotto: We Proved Mayweather is Not Invincible!

You say that, but their is still an element of bias in your scorecard. Round 2 was very very close, aswell as round 5 being very close. These could have gone either way imo. I gave round 2 to cotto, and round 5 to may. Round three and round 7 were also close, these could have gone either way. I gave round 3 to cotto, an 7 to mayweather.

You almost have to watch the fight without sound and not pay any attention to compubox. Announcers were saying ***** like he's not landind...when in fact, he was landing. Compubox had cotto only landing 3 shots in the 3rd round? Lol, gtfo with that b.s.. He landed some good hard shots, left an right hooks to the body, aswell as numerous good hard jabs. These were all close, competitive rounds.

And of course, if you know how to score a fight, you'll score it like me lol.

Re-watching the fight as we speak and I also gave it to Cotto..Most of mays punches hit cottos gloves except for maybe 3 or 4 that were actually good punches.

All I know is that Cotto was taking all of Mayweathers shots and just kept coming..

I see something like that being a standard practice. Just to make sure there are no hidden complications from the fight. But who knows about the. Context of the visit I guess.

It was reported he went for "observation". Miguel took alot of head shots. Post fight, when his mom went in dressing room, his face looked bad. That said Miguel fought hard and proved how good he is.

he hasnt lost it, thats for sure. cotto didnt give him much of a chance to throw it, he didnt wanna lead all fight.

There was one time in the 2nd round I believe, Cotto hit Floyd with a flush jab. Then, Floyd basically baited him to throw it again, Cotto throws then he instantly pulled countered him. It was crazy how he corrected it that quick. I always know when Floyd is going to do the pull counter because he always stands on the toes of his back foot.

As a guy that wanted Cotto to win the fight, I'm going to be honest here and say that in the fight I got caught up with the moment a bit and scored it 116-112 to Mayweather, having watched the fight again, I think that there were 2 clear Cotto rounds, 5 clear mayweather rounds, and 5 fairly close competetive rounds, although many of those competetive rounds leaned towards Mayweather. I think out of these 5 close competetive rounds, 3 of them were fairly easy to score to mayweather, 1 of them was fairly easy to score for cotto, and 1 was up for grabs and I felt it could of gone either way.

Going by this analysis I made, i think the widest you could have the fight would be 118-110, and the closest you could have the fight was 116-112 , therefore the 3 judges scorecards of 118-110, 117-111,117-111 seem pretty fair to me, I think the reason some people have it even closer than this is because Mayweather has never lost you changed the expectation of what someone has to do to beat them, therefore some people could maybe score 4 of those 5 close rounds to Cotto even though 3 of them were pretty clear Mayweather rounds. I think this was the most competetive Mayweather fight I've seen since the May-DLH fight but I still think it was clear who the winner was, But Miguel Cotto can hold his head up high, great fight.

i think its standard for a doctor to look at u in the dressing room, if somethings wrong then they typically send u to the hospital. altho i suspect cotto went to get outta the pst fight festivities.

This was a close fight and showed that Cotto is not finished. He gave Mayweather a run for his money and I had Mayweather winning by no more than three rounds. Great win for Mayweather. And great performance by Cotto who showed he still is a top fighter in the sport.

The score cards were spot on for a change

I agree. It was a closely contested fight, and the rounds were sort of close in spots, but the scores were perfect. I gave Cotto 3 rounds, the 3rd one maybe through generosity.

People only feel he did better because usually no one wins more than single round or makes any of the others even remotely close. It only looked that way because Cotto fought so much better than most others do. He still lost most rounds though unfortunately.

I watched the fight with the volume down and scored it to Floyd by a point. I thought the margins were ridiculous, but the right man won. I gotta feel for Miguel, fought his balls off and got shafted by the judges.

You should have cut your Tv off because you can't see anyway if you scored it by 1 point.

Good scrap mate... I watched it again...

Cott's jab is vicious. He mostly landed jabs all night and then maybe once or twice, he landed the left hook.

I don't think those body shots were landing though. I think that they showed that a fighter has to have a strong enough jab to keep Floyd from countering and the fighter also has to be bigger and stronger than Floyd.

After Cotto landed enough jabs and Floyd tried to fight him inside, Cotto showed him that he was stronger... Lifted the little guy up off his feet (good thing he didn't pull a B-Hop and fall on the ground and say his shoulder popped out)...

But Cotto established a strong jab AND while I don't think he could outbox Floyd on the inside, he was able to bully Floyd...

This might be the blueprint BUT Cotto still lost and I don't think Floyd will continue to fight at 154 and definitely not any higher...

3rd round or the fight? If you gave the 3rd to Cotto, fine, if you gave the fight to Cotto, you're a ****ing ******. No offense.

Cotto did amazingly well. In fact, I think this was honestly the single greatest fight of his entire career against the best fighter of his career. He had the fire, determination and tenacity of his earlier 140 career plus the skill and experience of his later career all rolled into one brilliant fight. He's just not a great fighter though. Very good, not great.
