Roach is a joke. Canelo won and made it look easy. This fight was not close. I gave cotto 3 rounds max. The punch stats all favored canelo. Cotto ran to avoid getting knocked out and still got out boxed and cut up. Then ran out the ring refusing to give interviews like a sore loser. Can't respect him for that.
No need for a rematch. And I take it Roach didn't bet his houses.
It was a close fight. I had Cotto winning, but I don't have a problem with Canelo getting the nod. I do have a problem with the scorecards. It makes me think that no matter what, Canelo was getting the decision.
Sorry Mr. Roach but Canelo won this fight 8 rounds to 4. Where there close rounds? Yes.....but to me all Cotto was doing effectively was landing a single or double jab but never landed really anything effective off his jab......he was constantly getting countered, and pot shoted when Canelo was throwing back.
Canelo was landing a lot of his leads whether he was going to the body or head. Majority of Cotto's combos weren't landing flush, they were hitting Canelo's gloves.
His power wasn't bothering Canelo clearly, but when Canelo landed you can tell Cotto was feeling his power.
You got me on the 119 to 109 but the other's I can see why those margins were so big. Effective punching. One fighter was throwing more quality punches and landing, while the other was throwing more quantity and not landing.
Your fighter was no where near close to knocking Canelo out. Stop being salty that both your fighters in Pac and Cotto came up short after you were talking mad S___T that you your guys were going to stop both Money May and Canelo.
Roach is fast becoming "Joke roach" like Mayweather Snr used to call him; he is such a whiner.
Just like with Pacquaio against Mayweather, Roach failed to come up with the right strategy - or, like Manny, did Cotto just not follow the "masterplan"?
Cotto needs to retire, he was done years ago and after 140 he has no power other than stopping damaged goods.
As for Roach Freddy did a great job with him. He gave him extra years and trained him to be competitive.
Not showing up to the presser is an insult to all boxing fans mostly his own.
If you don't need medical attention you go to the presser its part of being a pro!
