well what about Cotto now.......

I totally agree with you. Cotto won!.
They said cotto ran the later rounds, but what was shane doing in rounds 5-9, he was in survival mode.
Something was clearly wrong with Cotto in the later rounds, he was doing the clottey, when clottey injured himself versus margarito. If cotto would of kept the same pace he had in the earlier rounds, he would of won in a larger margin.

 

He didn't win. But you can keep telling yourself he did, if it makes you feel better.

 

Cotto is better than I thought, for sure.

Even though he lost tonight -- with real judging -- he showed a TON of skills and heart.

 

Yep. He sure did.

 

Cotto dissapointed me with his mentality. His skills should surprise nobody, they have always, always been apparrent.

 

He wasn't robbed. He said himself it was a close fight.

 

I was very dissapointed with the "De La Hoya" in the last 4 rounds. Not good, especially for a guy who is all about wearing you down.

 

I think you will see more people come to this conclusion as the weekend rolls on. I'm interested in media takes on this.

 

Cotto's stock doesnt rise, nor does it fall either.

He still top 10 P4P but not top 5.

 

For some fighters running is obviously a good thing, it makes sense.

But I agree 100% for Cotto, a "wearing down his opposition" type fight it was not the best fight-plan. He could have and should have impossed himself. What he did was riskier than risking being KO'd.

 

He showed great versitility in winning a boxing match towards the end of the fight countering like a true boxer.

 

I agree.

But I believe he would have been wiser to go forward and not risk Mosley's empty flurries winning rounds.

 

Cotto appears to be the total package. He can box, he can punch, and his powers of recovery are enough to get him out of any jam. I was impressed with his jab tonight (he outjabbed Mosley) and as somebody mentioned in another thread, his handspeed was tremendous.

Don't be surprised if he goes undefeated.

 

I heard that his body attack was the best and nobody could take it for so long. I didn't see that.....maybe I was ****ing drunk..
