    Donaire is going bald, round faced and is getting hit a bit more than usual.

    Cotto is freezing sometimes when he gets hit by shots. I first noticed it in the Jennings fight.

    Mayweather hit him with a straight right in the early round that froze him for a second, I think it's just a problem with right hands, because feather fisted Foreman landed a similar clean right hand at the point of the chin that also froze Cotto for a split second.

    Hut needs to sleep it off. CANELO is barely a world class fighter,even that is debateable. He is slow and can't punch for shit. Shane has a good chin, but come on. He took ridiculous shots that looked and sounded hard and Shane looked annoyed, not hurt LIKE how is this ginger faggot hitting me. Shane looked ashamed, never hurt and Gingerbreadman landed at least 100 full power shots to the head and body.

    You better change that to "Yuri" :lol:

    Jennings caught him with a long right and Cotto sort of flinch-froze.....it was then I reckoned that Margarito had dented something inside him.

    Yup. Anybody that gave Cotto 5 rounds can't score for shit.

    He won 4 rounds tops.

    To me, he only won 3.

    It was a competitive fight, but people are starting to overrate how competitive it was.

    winning 3 rounds is hardly "competitive" or even 4 rounds..

    it's funny that Floyd is so dominate that now if he loses 3 rounds out of 12 it was "a tough fight" lol

    It was a good fight, competitive for a bit. Cotto didn't win 5 rounds. He won 3 and a share of maybe another.

    118-110 did not reflect his effort, his success or his competitiveness, but then again, the cards rarely do.

    people act like this was the battle of the ages.. lol

    it's funny.. it shows how good floyd is really.. since when is it news to have a lil blood on your nose in a boxing match? lol

    Floyd IMO could have boxed more and been more dominate.. he also could have turned it up and knocked him out.. but Floyd is a smart businessman.. if he did that.. pac would never fight

    now.. winning like he did.. pac might wanna fight now and not be a little bitch

    then we'll see the lion in floyd again

    Absolutely. If you win 1 minute and 29 seconds of every round, you can lose 120-108.

    Bollocks, 2, 3, 6, 8, there's 4 rounds you can easily give to Cotto, and there is one other arguable Cotto round.

    I scored the fight objectively, some rounds Floyd won easily, where as Cotto rounds were all close apart from 6 and I think round 8.

    But it was a close fight, even in terms of rounds. People are underrating what Cotto was doing in the rounds he won, which was control the fight with his physical strength on the ropes etc, land good bodyshots, and time Floyd with nice jabs.

    In the rounds he won, Cotto kind of looked like a (really) poor man's Duran, stylistically, attacking and countering, pinning against the ropes, landing good body shots, not rushing, applying intelligent pressure, using physical strength to bully.
