    I Think the guerilla guy writes for esb's frontpage under the name "Yerro" I forget the last name...

    Because he went down on a knee... which in some people's mind is quitting.... i personally thought it was a good move to buy him some time... but In the end i guess he did quit

    Can We Say This Was The Best Fight Of The Past 10 Years?

    No. Cotto gave his all. Margo had assistance.

    :good

    Yep... He had a chin and a lot of stamina. That's really all it takes to beat Cotto.

    Yes it is. He was just shell shocked against Mosley as his armory had been discovered and taken away pre-fight. He lacked the heart to win on his own merits. In fact he lacked the heart to even try.

    Yes he took to much damage in this match and in camp before and after to be really competitive against Mosley. I think Cotto cracked his chin. It's simple unbelievable how much clean shots did he take and after the match he looked so fresh. But the blood on Cotto's face is a clear sigh that his gloves were loaded. Maybe he was going to win the match anyway tough.

    I hate watching this...No way Mosley gets a fight with Pac or Floyd if Cotto wins this fight.

    Cotto never stepped into a left hook, never tried to test his physical strength against Margarito in the clinch. His straight right-jab combination looked nice, but Cotto couldn't get any leverage into those shots. It wasn't a good gameplan.

    Still, I can't help but wonder if Margarito loaded his gloves. I guess we'll never know.

    :nonoClinching is for defensless, cheating, bitches like Mosley... Cotto doesn't fall under those categories, so **** that idea. You see how much more exciting a fight is to watch without two dudes grabbing like they love each other every 4 seconds? Now that's the sport at it's finest.
