Did Cotto deserve to finish, or did Pacquiao deserve his knockout?

yeah miguel was in **** state when bayliss stopped it he was blurry eyed

 

I agree with this completely. If a guy is getting whipped and guaranteed a loss by the 9th, all he has left is his dignity. You stop it when he is actually moving? Damn, now he doesn't have that.

 

after the first knockdown the fight looked like it could be stopped in every round

 

Odds are Pac would have knocked Cotto the **** out in that round. Cotto ate a big shot right before Bayless stopped it and was trapped against the ropes. I bet on Pac by decision, but I'm not bothered by the stoppage cause I think Cotto wouldn't have made the final bell.

There was over 2 minute left and Cotto was stuck in the corner with his ass on the ropes after eating a HUGE straight left. He wasn't out on his feet but he was in a terrible spot.

Las Vegas––Z Gorres has been medically-induced into a coma at the University Medical Center (UMC) in Las Vegas yesterday after his skull was opened to drain the fluid in his brain to relieve pressure.

Gorres was rushed to the hospital after he collapsed in his corner right after he was proclaimed the winner by unanimous decision against Luis Melendez of Colombia at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

The boxing event organized by Top Rank was a prelude to today’s match-up between Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines and WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Dr. Allan Recto, who visited Gorres in the hospital, said Gorres remains in critical condition.

Recto said he was told by Dr. Michael Seiss, the critical care specialist attending Gorres, that Gorres would be in coma for three to five days and “hopefully he will return to consciousness.”

“If an ordinary person, like you and me, would be in Gorres' condition,” Dr. Recto said, “the chances of survival are very slim. Only because Gorres is an athlete does he have more chances to survive.”

ALA Gym President Michael Aldeguer and Vice President Dennis Canete are in the hospitalto monitor Gorres' condition.

prayers

Meanwhile, ALA chairman Antonio L. Aldeguer, who has nurtured Gorres' boxing career since Gorres was nine years old, has asked for prayers for Gorres' recovery.

“Gorres is a very good family man with a loving wife and four children. He is a very kind and gentle person. A rare human being. Please ask the Lord not to take him yet. We need your prayers for him,” Aldeguer said in a text message.

 

I was drunk at the end of the fight and I was paranoid about what was happening. I believe, Cotto came out in the 10th asking Pacquiao not to knock him out, either in body language or said to him, could be wrong about that, but I definitely think Pacquiao took it a little easier and the corner was telling him to knock him out perhaps for more money or something, and then they paid off Bayless to stop it in the 12th.

Just a drunken hunch I had though.

 

I think it is also within the context of the Z Gorres incident the day before. It"s the last round and if Manny throws everything he"s got, Cotto might be severely hurt.
