come on what fight were you guys watching.Cotto landed the best and effective punch in every round even when he boxed the last 3 rounds.
Mosley seriously ruined a great fight around round 5 when he started running. It really pissed me off.
you need to watch the rerun. mosely dictated that fight in the championship rounds, landed more punches. cotto ran and laid on the ropes, hid in the corners, and shane isn't even a power puncher. shane got shafted, but during his career he was on the receiving end sometimes. I wanna see cotto-margarito next. if cotto has the balls that is.
You're calling a bull**** decision after seeing that Casamayor fight? Please, stop ruining boxing. Cotto won the fight, and you can't change it.
**** in your pants by UD. You are saying that this fight was a "robbery" so you can later on use it as an excuse for Floyd not to fight Cotto and still be "the man" at welterweight.
I had it a draw. 114-114. Cotto's rounds were a bit more emphatic though so i could see him getting the verdict. I think that Cotto would win the rematch a bit more impressivly as shane isnt quite as good as he used to be.
i had it even. there were a couple of differences from your scoring to mine but i also had it level. ironically cotto got the sort of margins that de la hoya deserved when he fought mosley back in 2003. :yep not that bothered about a rematch though. get mosley fighting for one of the other titles and lets see cotto-margarito. :hey
