    Ricardo Torres

    I thought the fight could have gone either way but Torres was much more agressive, I had him winning 114-113. I was surprised how bad Torres looked compared to when he fought Cotto, he was slooooooow, wasn't that strong, and didn't have the same steam on his punches.

    But he did manage to get the W on a night where he certainly wasn't at his best.

        Torres is good but not as good. Cotto just fought the wrong fight, he wanted to test his own chin, but if he had used his jab and fought smart it would of been a shut out for him.

          Torres looked bad tonight.. Because Mike was a southpaw... Mike mad a mistake not going for the kill in the 7th. He deserves the L on his record.. He could've ended the fight there.. Torres on the other hand did what he had to do.. Did ok in the early rounds... Got knocked down.. Got back on his feet and started landing that jab a little more... No complains from me. What immpressed me was how Torres got up from the knock down and survived the whole fight.

            i think torres just couldn't find his rhythm at all, i suppose the style of arnaoutis wouldn't have helped that either.........

            torres had a shoulder injury after the cotto fight and only fought once, for two rounds.........so maybe it was a combination of ring rust, styles, etc..............so credit to him for sticking it thru and getting the W.

                Torres looked like **** to me.I cant believe he walked away with the victory,he was agrressive,so what,he was barely effective.Maybe mike was too cautious but look what happened to cotto when he wasnt.Arnoutis defenitely deserved the win tonight.Especially considering that KD.

                he only looked better in the cotto fight because cotto fought torres's fight,so torres looked a little better that night, but still lost.I dont think he deserved the nod tonight, and he definetly wont beat a decent boxer even.

                  Mike could've won by KO.. Thing is he didn't capitalize when he knocked Torres down. After that Torres started to wake up a lil bit. It could've been a draw.. But what got me mad is that Mike ain't go for the kill. He was to cautious and thinking about getting hit, but he seem to take Torres punches well. This decison was very controversial.. Even when one judge scored it.. What was it? 111-116 for Torres. HA! Mike got by that judge.
