    Stop repeating the same wrong thing over and over, Shane did not run out of steam in the whole fight, definetly not in the 3rd round. If anyone was low on stamina it was Cotto for sure.

    Great fight between 2 great fighters at a legendary venue what more could be asked ? Infact since I have **** to do I might head into the bedroom and rewatch it and probablly start bitching that Mosley didnt get the decision agian.

    Ya I think if Cotto wasn't the young undefeated Champion we could have been looking at a MD or SD, but honestly Cotto deserved it. Shane would win in a rematch for sure, he really seemed to think he was going to get Cotto out of there with a big right hand but Cotto has a great chin at 147. Can't blame Shane, I was suprised myself.

    Shane's gameplan was awful he was flatfooed and like you said looking for one punch way to much. With Richardson im sure his strategy changes drastically.

    No doubt, I'm suprised that he made it so far with his dad in the first place.

    Ha Ha..Where Mosley points at the wet corner and the referee stops the fight so that the corner can be cleaned and they swore that the ref was protecting Cotto because Cotto was allegedly hurt...lol...I remember that.

    whether mosley ran out of steam for not being prepared for the fight or lost bc of cotto should treated the same. I honestly think that mosely looked off and i have seen just about every fight of his. however, this is no excuse. he has to come prepared. A loss is a loss for shane. it was a combination of cottos jab and strenght and shane not being in tip top condition. Just bc he threw the same amount of punches doesnt mean that the punches had the same amount of heat on them, or does not mean he was setting them up properly. either way cotto gets the same credit.

    All it means is that the first fight might not be totally indicative if how the second fight would go if shane gets himself up better for a rematch.

    Do you have any proof that Shane wasn't in tip top condition, or are you just saying this because you said so?

    Its possible as Mosley will likely beat Berto and Cotto has a chance to beat Pacquiao and you know Mayweather will refuse to face either one. Id love a rematch and would perfer it to a Mayweather fight because Cotto-Mosley is guaranteed action and thats a proved fact.

    Ya, Cotto took some serious bombs against Mosley. Several times I was SURE he must be hurt. It was a hell of a fight. I enjoyed it and would love a rematch.
