Yeah, I'm a big fan of Maravilla. It ****** watching him go down repeatedly like that. It's boxing. You stick around long enough, that kind of shit happens. Props to Cotto for bringing it. Even a sub-100% Martinez is no small order.It was a combination of factors. I couldn't make a pick on this one; too many variables. Martinez is definitely fading pretty quickly but Cotto at the same time has had a bit of a rebirth. Seems like he just needed a fresh take on things and Roach has done a tremendous job with him. Two of my favorite fighters - especially Martinez - and a fantastic performance from Cotto while being a fairly sad night for Maravilla.Comment

Last night was Miguel's finest hour. It's a great memory to have as a fan.BOW DOWN TO THE KING!! Jk.. maybe...

Today you have shown that you are a true class act and I regret thinking differently through the buildup of the fight so you won't get anything but respect from me.
I think a lot of people were surprised by what they saw last night, this is Miguel Cotto at his finest at the late stage of his career. Not many expected to see what they saw last night. Truly impressive to watch.
I always knew Cotto was capable of being this type of fighter but I wondered when he'd be able to put it all together and with Roach he finally did. The conditioning coach also did a tremendous job with Cotto with moving him up in weight effectively.
It's just a great team with a great fighter who is willing to listen, learn and execute instructions. Many wonder what would have happened if these two would have paired sooner but I believe that it was because of all Cotto has gone thru that he's acquired the maturity that has allowed him to reach his full potential as a fighter.
It was an awesome night for me personally, one of my best memories as a boxing fan... I was screaming like a true psycho through the entire first round lol. Last night was a great example of why I love this sport.Comment

Understand: When I say Cotto is "the man," I mean it in a very broad sense. "He's the ****in' man." He deserves greater respect than most. I didn't mean to say he's "the man at 160." I didn't even think Sergio was the man at 160. Right now, it's looking like the boogeyman at middleweight is Golovkin. I don't think Miguel is going after him. I believe the writing is on the wall. Cotto will await the winner of Alvarez-Lara, in hopes Canelo wins. If Alvarez takes it, he's moving up for a megabucks showdown with Miguel.Comment
