    Eh, you picked right, and props to you for that. I thought this was a sure bet for Cotto, same as you thought Margarito was the sure thing. I was wrong, and you know what? Its ok to gloat, but what the **** is your problem man?




























    Want a fookin cookie *****? :D

    . Make no mistake.

    He did a full retreat after rising from taking his first knee. He went from corner to corner, did not take a punch, and when Margo closed in for the kill, he went to a knee again, telling the ref and the corner that he was finished.

    He didn't want and couldn't handle any more. He quit, and wisely so. He was about to suffer a 10-7 round and be down by 5 points on two judges card, if he made it through the round.

    Either by KO or by score cards, Cotto was on his way to defeat. He probably knew that, and so he decided to "No Mas" it and fight another day.

    Though this will taint his legacy, all in all, it was probably the smartest choice.

    Exactly. Picking Cotto by KO, given Margarito's proven punch resistance, was the most absurd call at all. If Cotto's was gonna win, it was almost certainly going to be by decision.

    I picked Cotto decision, which wasn't absurd as that did look like happening for a certain period.

    I underestimated how much Margarito's size and strength would take its toll, and how badly Cotto's stamina would fade.

    I picked Margo by KO, however comparing the fight to Taylor Pavlik is just weird. Taylor - Pavlik I was a war, you cannot deny that Taylor knocked the **** out of Pavlik, all credit to Pavlik for coming off the canvas to get the win, Taylor - Pavlik II however was a straight robbery, Taylor won that fight and anyone who wasn't a Pavlik fanboy knows it.

    I'm just glad that no Butt or low blow controversy ruined last night's fight.
    Just 2 prime fighter's doing what they do best...Someone had to lose.

    No shame in that.

    oh shut the **** up. you act like you never get a ****ing prediction wrong and disrespect fighters constantly...pisses me off. ive seen your youtube videos you fat ***** - step in the boxing ring and see what its like.

    you must be pretty tough to call fighters frauds and jokes sitting on your fat lazy ass, typing on a keyboard.

    **** off or die - either one would be fine by me.
