    Cotto bloodied Void's nose and mouth, it was a much closer fight than Void's judges had it. Cotto had some good rounds..................Pac would have stopped Void tonight, no wonder Void is so afraid of Pac!!! Martinez would totally dominate Void!!!

    The thing is, giving up the center and failing to circle out are things I've seen Floyd do before when he was losing rounds and would have benefited from him. I give him tons of credit for standing and fighting, but at the same time I'm not gonna pretend he could have avoided a lot of those inside shots and made it "easy work."


    :thumbsup You're a good dude and a real poster BBall.

    :thinkI don't know about that, he's still very very cautious, hardly a war, a good fight, far from great imo, I'VE SEEN GREAT FIGHTS, that was not one of them.

    I was just paraphrasing what he said. Despite it not being a war, Mayweather fought exactly as he said.

    Cotto a G. I said when this fight was first announced that it wasn't going to be a easy fight. Cotto is a LOT better than people give him credit and they weren't being objective.

    I knew Cotto at this weight wasn't going to get overwhelmed. But, I knew there was nothing he could do to win. I was right cause he did everything possible.

    Margo wouldve got severely outboxed. Cotto has more skills than Margo and defense. Besides this fight wouldve happened at WW, at a time when mayweather didnt have the size he does now. This means he wouldve just outboxed him severely. Cotto outboxed that cheat for more than half the fight and his boxing ability, reflexes, speed, and stamina pales in comparison to Mayweathers. The real reason why cotto loss against Margo wasnt even the plaster of paris, but was his stamina issues. He was fighting in a way that he just didnt have the stamina to keep up.

    He would get outboxed.Whoopty doo! What's else is new?Margarito always gets outboxed. :patsch But he will keep coming at Floyd.I don't think Floyd has the power to keep Margarito away. No secrets Margarito gets outboxed. I feel he will get to Floyd like Baldimor did but with better success.Why did he duck him then if Margarito is an easy fight?:huh

    I'm not silent. I expressed my views on the post-fight edition of On the Ropes Boxing Radio.

    I thought it would be more one-sided than it was. Cotto gave a far more spirited effort than what I was expecting. He still lost the majority of the rounds, but he had some success and was a warrior throughout.

    Game effort from Cotto. The fight was far more entertaining than I'd anticipated.

    :smoke

    Floyd had the power to keep Mosley from firing and Mosley had the power to KO Margo. Go figure?

    Cotto is a natural left hander so i imagine he has a very heavy jab. Obviously he caught May with a flush jab which started the nose bleed. However, lets not make it seem like the bloody nose was from any form of sustained assault. Infact, for all his pressure, i never once saw Cotto score three (hell, even two) consecutive blows on May!
