    probably why Mosley slapped him around then and didn't get hurt, unlike Cotto who was ASSAULTED :lol: Margarito should be in jail for what he did to Cotto - WE ALL KNOW HE DID IT

    It was that one devastating punch that ended the fight obviously,but it landed due to the fact Ricky was unable to adapt/change tactic. The first round was terrible for Hatton as was the first for Marquez against Pac, but Marquez was able to adapt,recover and almost win the fight. Hattons mistakes were glaringly obvious and so, you would think, amendable. But does he have the desire or the ability?

    Ha Ha, if ever proven I'll sign your protest gladfully. Until it is we can only speculate. I just think he was worn out form the energy he'd exerted and then his defence was shown up.

    Cotto looks a fighter with obvious flaws at the moment, but Hatton is a fighter with obvious flaws.... Cotto would end this fight mid to late rounds

    Possibly - I have my suspicions though - Mosley seemed to hit Cotto with some awesome power shots and he just took them. The way he seemed to get caught by Margarito seemed so flimsy, it would make sense if his wraps were stiffened like casts. Margarito probably put some of that spray on his chin as well :lol: Ultimately Cotto was exhausted from battering Margarito's chin, so it can be explained - I really would be surprised though if something foul was afoot - infact I would say I suspect it was.

    Margarito is not going to confess now though - it's one of his greatest victories and he's already banned for a year despite not actually using those hand casts.

    Yeah fair do's. Its amazing though that Cotto's uncle never checked his hand wraps pre-fight. His excuse, when Cotto asked him why not was "Well they never came and checked yours" ha ha

    Pre FMJ I'd have gone for Hatton. He'd be lucky to see the end of the 3rd now.

    ok then,
    1, nope,i don't rate cottos win over mosley,and i defo don't rate mayorga,he is a crude slugger,not good at all,and he out fought mosley,i think mosley had a off night with cotto,and the battering of margo goes some way of proving my point

    2. cotto's face was marked up from the constant twating from margos fists:rofl

    3. pressure fighters hold on the world over,loads of em,its what happens when they get to close,come to think of it show me a fight where theres no holding,u be lucky npt to find a round luv:hey

    4.when did i say a persistent holder, i said he held on like **** in margo,has he did in jennings,mosley,all his fights :think

    5. the ref helped hatton,are you bettys mate glitter,get them hate tinted glasses off,him and zoo were both hitting below,behind the head ect ect,its boxing,you don't like it love,watch WWF.

    and stop boiling at posts,take a pill,role a fat one,open a can,sick back and now....................................................................................................................relax:good
