E.Steward: I think this will be Floyd’s toughest fight since 1st fight with Castillo

It was after Oscar threw a combination. There weren't many, but Floyd's hand moved forward to parry and left the right side of his face open.

Floyd wasn't "locked" in that part, but he was defending against the ropes and Augustus/Burton landed a few throughout the fight when in the pocket.

 

A few knowledgeable saw something in Cotto(e), and they were right. Floyd's daddy also predicted it wouldn't be as easy as usual for Floyd.

 

Except the part about the success of the left hook, but for once, he was glaringly right.

 

good prediction. He was right on :good I liked how he gave Floyd a lot of praise after the fight for it's entertainment and for his performance. Gave Cotto a lot of props too

 

He did a good job being objective even though it was his former pupil in there. Steward kept repeating how many of these combos you see Cotto(e) throwing are being picked off by the shoulder roll.

 

very true. Everybody was getting excited and it was Steward being the one to point it out.

 

A few people in early in the thread giving Steward grief - but the fight did turn out exactly as he said. A competitive fight with many close round - a victory, but a difficult one, for FMjr.

 

:rofl

 

Oh you mean the part where Manny said himself on the broadcast that Cotto hasn't really been in position to shoot the hook to the body properly?

 

lol, okay

 

most anti climactic 2 main fights I have ever seen in my life.

Oh well, I just helped Floyd's ******ed lifestyle.

Its not that it was his toughest fight, its just been that his opponents were pretty bad and obviously hand picked.

Come on Floyd your lame 12 round flurry against Cotto is not what the fans wanted to see. It was you fighting Manny Pacquiao.
