    Good for Cotto. I'm a fan of his, but I hope he refrains from excess trash talking that will make him a sore winner. Business is done. WrapGate is finished. Move on to RoidGate.

    Bad translation.

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZg69r8NO2U&feature=channel_video_title[/ame]

    0:16-0:27

    Cotto said: "No, simplemente me pare, a mirarlo. Simplemente me pare, a saborear la victoria. No se si con el ojo que le quedaba abierto me miro, pero en realidad no se."

    Which translates to: "No, I simply stood there, to look at him. I simply stood there, to savor the victory. I don't know if, with the one eye he had open, he saw me. In reality, i don't know."

    I was not sure if something could top the Mosley beating and seeing Margo crying on his trainers shoulder being patted like a baby.. Then we see Margarito not able to look Cotto in the eye after he got whooped..

    Yeah Margo is tough but he is soft on the inside and the shades and braids got you thinking he is a G... Real G's do not need to cheat simple as that.

    And you know he didn't repeat the sentiment later, phrasing it differently? Is that the only time he spoke on the matter?

    The quote is clearly taken from the press conference based on the translation produced from the translator. So I'm guessing Cotto didn't produce precisely what the translator said in the press conference.

    I hope Cotto doesnt go overboard in his 'savouring' (ie gloating) of the victory. That would make him seem more classless than Margorito.

    The fiction:

    The facts:

    "Cotto smacked me around for nine rounds ruining my already ****ed up eye and pretty much ending my viable career. Now I will be a gatekeeper in Mexico, nothing more." Margarito

    So a little girl could do that to Margarito ?

    So now explain why Margarito is a G ?

    the part where he was staring at him was ****ing awesome. My respect for Cotto has shot through the roof after that.

    "He has his own life, I have my own. He can keep with his life, I'm going to keep with mine. He means nothing to me"

    Cotto a G.

    Tony is finished. Good riddance.

    All these "translators" ****ing blow at sports events. Every time I see these clowns completely butcher the language in corners and press events it makes me wonder if they're even getting paid. I mean ****, I'd do it for free with far more accuracy if they'd comp me everything needed to go to the fights.
