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

[voneric]

After rewatching the Fight, i thought Cotto got 4 rounds. Mayweather clearly won the fight but i will agree that Cotto earned the right not to be called a Jotto by me anymore. My only Problem with Cotto was the fact that he let the 35 year old defensive wizard OutPunch him nearly every round. Once again i think Cotto's Stamina got the best of him as he was clearly pacing himself instead of Laying it all on the Line against one of the Greatest of All Time. Wouldnt be surprised if they had a rematch as neither fighter really has an option besides PacMan and i dont think Cotto or Mayweather wants to tangle with the Filipino after their grueling affair.

2 rounds isn't enough and yes, most people only had a round or two difference but I think most people are upset because it wasn't a landslide like a lot of people seem to be talking about. Mayweather won, 8 to 4 on my card but there were a lot of close rounds, no need to discredit either fighter. Very nice fight. Possibly Mayweathers toughest fight(the castillo fight was closer but Mayweather never had to grind like he did Saturday), but also one of his more entertaining ones. Both fighters deserve praise.

You do realise he choose to stand and grind though dont you? It wasn't like he couldnt of boxed and made the fight boring, he stood and made it a toe to toe battle. It's not like he was getting bullied into it so he was FORCED to do that, it was his choice.

A message to Team Cotto: Do not confuse a good showing with reality...Cotto fought well at times, yes he hit mayweather, yes he roughed mayweather up, yes he clearly won rd8, BUT dont overlook reality, mayweather was sticking cotto with those right hands all night, sticking cotto with that uppercut all night, and inside hitting cotto with some nice body shots, and on the outside was sticking that jab in cotto's stomach...i've watched the fight 4 times and judged it 3 times. first time i judged it was an unbias judge and i had floyd winning 117-111 (9rds to 3rds).....second time i judged it as a really really pro cotto fan and scored it 115-113 still for floyd...third time i judged the fight as a floyd fan and scored it 118-110 floyd...So now no matter how well Team Cotto think they did, they still clearly lost

Cotto won 6,7,8 and whoever think he won the 3rd is bugging because that's when Floyd started heating up on him. I can't believe I live in a world where grown men hate on other grown men so much like b!tches.

He only landed a handful of right hands. He did get some good ones in though. It was sneaky.

Cotto looks slow but it's obvious that he's not. Everyone that fights him say's he has deceptive speed but I think it's his timing that allows his shot's to be sneaky and effective.

But the jab was his punch. It was the only punch he landed on a consistent basis.

In the postfight presser, Floyd said (verbatim) "Cotto is slow, but he is so awkward".

Floyd is very accustomed to using his spidey senses to know when a guy is gonna throw, and Cotto surprised Floyd on several occasions.

I remember one time, Floyd landed a combo, and turned Cotto. Just as Floyd relaxed, Cotto landed a left hook up top. I thought to myself, "Hmmm, if that was Pacquiao power, Floyd would be in some trouble there".

Of course he didn't land every time he threw it.

But you're saying he took his right hook away from him when he really didn't do anything of the sort.

He landed it effectively in almost every round.

He was able to land the right hook throughout the fight, with success here and there, but only because miguel effectively took away his lead rights/pull counters. Its a give and take, the right hook was there because the lead right wasnt. I think i would rather be hit by a right hook from mayweather than a lead right from mayweather, those are brutal.

If Floyd would have dedicated himself to that left upper cut that almost floor Cotto and hurt him prior then Miguel would have been out of there. Floyd won. I gave Cotto 3 rounds along with the utmost respect and admiration. 9 rounds to 3 Mayweather. Cotto lost. He made it competitive but it wasn't close.

Grustler stop acting like you aren't on NSB. DOn't you know this stands for Non STop *****in.

[IronDanHamza]

Yea, I know. But it still looked as good as it looked in years past.

Yeah, it was sharp when he used it.
