    I like this fight more skill involved all the fights ive seen so far suck. Dudes are throwing huge numbers and just trying to score. This vid almost looks pro.

    Yeah both Cotto and Abdulaev had a pro style in the amatuers, what most people don't know is that Abdulaev went on to win the gold medal.

    Miguel Cotto is one of the best composite punchers in boxing today hands down.
