    More surprising result Cotto vs Martinez or Garcia vs Matthysse?

    The winners of both fights were generally given very little chance to win by NSB posters.

    Matthysse/Garcia was much more surprising to me. I honestly felt like Matthysse was going to murder that fool, whereas I'm on record here multiple times stating that I felt Cotto/Martinez was 50/50 and that people picking Sergio by domination or stoppage were absolutely ******ed.

          I wasn't that surprised by either even though I picked wrong on both occasions.

          I was more surprised about how Garcia was able to move and box Matthysse. I always thought he was too flat footed.

          Cotto did what he should have done against a near crippled man.

            Mattyhsse/Garcia, the knee was always in the back of people's minds for this fight even if there was an overwhelming majority picking Martinez.

              Garcia Matthysse two people in their prime vs The Handicap Martinez we all knew he wasnt himself but how much you can never know and once the fight started we knew he was 100% disabled and that El Handicap killer has striked again.

                I was one of those fools who thought Sergio would murk Cotto. Cotto made a fool out of me. Props to him, that's boxing.

                  both fights were even going in imo. that's probably because i don't beat off to the fights of certain fighters and base myself esteem in how well they do in the ring.

                    garcia/lucas because i was 100% convinced, and i still am, that lucas has what it takes to beat garcia. this was a 50/50 fight which i picked sergio to win but could easily see cotto winning
