    NO CLINCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!! See how great and different boxing is, without CLINCHING. Cotto had to use his feet, instead of his arms to defend himself.

    Povetkin should demand Bayless as the referee for his fight with Wladimir and you´ll see the great and improved Wladimir go belly up again. :bears::bears:

    I want to say Cotto stock has gone up in my eyes, he fought a great fight but was just up against the BEST WELTERWEIGHT IN WORLD.

    And if Cotto, a proven puncher who has discouraged or stopped all his previous opponents can't get Margarito to take a backwards step, how the hell would Mayweather ever keep him off him?

    Tonight in vindication for everyone who has said Mayweather ducked Margarito, because we were all proven right tonight. That question mark will always blight Mayweathers career, hopefully he mans up and comes out to get the beating he deserves.

    What a great fight between 2 great warriors. This is whats good about boxing. Who cares about loud mouthed, arrogant, safety first, avoid the biggest challenges, 'fighters'.

    I like Bayless but I thought he didnt let them fight enough on the inside and was calling for a break a tad too soon

    No, it's just that infighting, fighting out of the clinch and dirty boxing is a lost art to many fans and I think it should be a part of boxing

    He had me worried at first

    i thought he was going to take a point off for a bs low blow. I'm glad he didn't wreck this great fight.
