    why vende patria.. i have to blindly follow boxers from PR just because they are from there. vende patria son los que siguen votando por los populares y penepes y dejando que los gringos sigan siendo dueños y señores de borinquen

    What was even more impressive about that fight was that Clottey didn't have any footing in the ring in the 2nd half of the fight. He was literally ice skating in there. Really unable to load up on anything because everytime he did, you could see his feet sliding out from under him.

    Before the fight most everyone was predicting a close, competitive fight. Clottey is tough style match for Cotto.

    And ya clottey is that good. He beat judahs ass. Was beating a prime margo till he hurt his hand. The list goes on.

    Cotto's cut was bad and he was clearly bothered by it, think I saw him flip Clottey to the canvas lol. If Clottey knew how to step it up in crunch time he'd be seen as a lot better. Clottey's performance against Pac was far worse than the rest of his because he had an idiotic gameplan. On the scene /joshua-clottey-i-wear-down-manny-pacquiao--25778

    You dont have to blindly follow fighters from PR but it just looks bad when you throw them to the wolves,,,but thats ok...its known already that most puertoricans follow only undefeated fighters and thats some bull**** as soon as they loose they become "shot to ****" and people start saying ohh well he wasnt that good to begin with so **** That give respect where is due,being a boxer is not as easy as throwing a rock...y mas vende patria son esos mismos independetistas que se pasan hablando mierda pero viven de welfare y cupones:hi:

    No i mean its not like he had a 2-3 inch gash dripping blood directly in his eye. How would it affect him if he cant see out of 1 eye?

    How is giving an opinion on a message board throwing him to the wolves. Is true that he never was as good as the hype. Cotto was one of the first puertorrican that didnt have to earn it in the ring. Top rank signed him after the olympics an made the path to a championship a lot easier than if he had to earn it from the bottom.

    I know how hard it is to be a boxer i was a boxer and still train to stay in shape.

    And from your last sentence i can easily say you're not puertorrican or not very educated.

    Por mas cupones y welfare que estados unidos le de a los puertorriqueños. No se acerca a los billones que le roban a mi patria todos los años. Y el daño moral y social que le han hecho que tomara mucho tiempo en arreglar.
