    The last time, i cried during a boxing event or post fight.

    Was: Mike Tyson vs Kevin Mcbride..

    I can remember lying in bed, crying myself to sleep. I was only young at the time, and i just empathized with Mike Tyson allot.

    You may laugh, but i was crying...:lol:

    Yesterday, i was reading through the general forum and i stumbled across one quote.....the search facility has been disabled, when i logged onto eastside today, or maybe i just can't be bothered looking for this quote.

    But it when something like this:

    "Real men appreciate another mans art, because we all strive to improve"

    Somebody, was commenting on Miguel Cotto's physique and also Manny Pac's...during the weigh in.

    Last night i got abit emotional, when Miguel Cotto was back pedalling and in survival mode. And at times the crowd was booing, seeing a once great warrior, a man who when he saw the sight of his own blood.....only fought on harder...back pedalling trying to survive...

    It just got to me...

    I didn't cry, but it just got to me people. Allot of **** has been getting to me of late, life has been greatly amplified.....

    I was watching Riddick Bowe vs Evander Holyfield I, and i was filling up when i was watching the 10th round.


    Emotion is not a weakness within a man, it's a strength.

    Ive been here along time, along time people....for real people.

    Kostya Tsyzu's losing speech against Hatton was one of the most emotional things i've seen in the game.

    I didn't get emotional really, mainly because I wanted Pacquiao to win. I did feel sorry for him though in the last few rounds.

    I must admit to a display of emotion when the transmission I was watching failed.

    It was quite sad to see Cotto backpedaling, just trying to survive the 12 rounds, must have been hard for him to do that.

    I did get emotional seeing a Cotto (one of my favorite boxers) getting outclassed by eventually a ATG (what ever level you want to put him at.)

    I am the same when I see Cotto getting beat by Margarito, retiring because of the sustained pressure he was subjected to... also tampered gloves debate makes me question the legitimacy of the result but am not gonna go there today.

    No not really. Wanted Pac to win and knew he would. Just a question of when.
    Cotto ran by this boards definition.

    Made me realise why I ****ing love this sport, true warriors like Cotto who give it there all for their craft, makes me realise why I have gone right off football these last few years, ****ing cry baby metrosexuals rolling around at the slightest nudge. This is sport at its most basic and best, man v man for the winner of themselves

    Long may it reign

    Seriously, WTF was all that booing for towards the mid/latter stages of the fight! Some ungrateful ****s in that crowd last night. They should have been applauding Cotto for being prepared to go out on his shield - even though the job was becoming increasingly futile.

    I wasnt crying but seeing that happen to your favourite ever fighter isnt an experience I'd like to repeat anytime soon! Especially when you have to try and go to sleep right after it.

    Even in defeat Cotto showed why I love him, waited in the ring after for an interview, praised Pac, fought his heart out, apparently tried to attend the post fight press conference but was sent to hospital and despite the beating did have some decent moments in the fight. He's still a brilliant fighter.

    But sometimes you just have to say the opponent was to good, which he was. It's not like he was fighting (no disrespect) Collazo, Cintron, Berto or someone, he was against one of the greatest ever. He lost, im sure he'll move on.

    The booing was ****ing sickening though, the disrespectful shitbags.
