    Granted the combinations didn't hurt Cotto much.

    However, from a boxing standpoint, at certain times in the fight he did make Cotto look... rather... bad. I don't think you can deny that.

      I could deny it, Paulie may have looked much faster AT TIMES, but I dont see how Cotto looked bad. I will say that at times he was sleepin out there.

        Especially in the middle rounds with Paulie was landing big combinations square on Cotto's nose, not giving Cotto the chance to even punch back. Paulie even wobbled Cotto with a left when he came in.


        ive watched the fight 3 times already and Cotto was NEVER hurt by malignaggi.

          Getting wobbled by a punch is different than physically being hurt by a punch.

          Cotto just got hit with a very solid left-hand that sent him a bit off balance...

            You want to call it "sleeping," I want to call it "looking bad"

              Wow, in 12 rounds, Cotto went off balance once. Thanks delivery guy...

                Ive watched that punch several times, Paulie did not send him off balance, he caught Cotto while Cotto was off balance. Huge difference.

                  Yes, I was surprised that Pauli was able to take so much punishment, even with all the holding that he did.

                    Bernstein wasn't one of the announcers...

                      I could've sworn he was.
