That is the First time I have seen floyd breathing heavy during a fight ! After 5 rds he was blowing out his arse ... Is he finally showing age or did he over train ? He was mega confident in the 24-7 . But walking too the ring he genuinely looked worried !!!! Maybe it was the bieber effect ? Cotto looked uninterested walking to the ring an'all
i think age is finally catching up, but gotta still give credit to cotto for putting up a good fight.
None of the above , its just the first time in a while he has fought a fighter who isnt completely shot like Mosley , isnt a top level fighter in Ortiz and didnt have to jump up two weight classed in JMM. If he fights Matinez at 154 he will look more than worried when walking to the ring .
The bloody nose had him uncomfortable. That's why he was breathing hard, IMHO. The fact Cotto landed some decent body shots didn't help his cause, either. I don't believe he overtrained.
I didn't notice that but the pace was much quicker than any fight Post-Hatton. I think Mayweather hurt his hands too
I know , I know. I am just not trying to get on to the whole Floyd is overated thing and give both Floyd and Cotto respect. Personally I think Cotto is shot and that Floyd didnt look great , but that would just open a whole can of worms.
I actually thought Mayweather started looking his age in their last night, but I'll have a second viewing (great fight afterall). Nah, Cotto isn't shot...yet.
