Mayweather won the fight, but Cotto won the event!

Cotto's gonna move on and make millions upon millions of dollars in his next couple of fights. I think he'll be good. :good

 

i agree with most of this post.

the part i don't agree with...i think cotto has exposed some kinks in floyds armor. he has given a blue print on how to beat floyd. problem was...cotto didn't have the stamina nor the patience/intelligence to get it done. if he would have stuck to the body work...he would have had a much easier floyd to deal with in the final rounds. both fighters made adjustment after adjustment after adjustment. i take nothing away from either. they will both go down as two of the best of this era. great fight for boxing fans.

 

yep he came to fight and gained some fans. **** if this fight is as big as they are saying it was he made a **** ton of money as well

 

Based on.... not getting KO'd? super. Mayweather took Cotto's own strategy and began to beat his ass with it.

 

protested? the rules stipulate 10oz for anything above 147.

 

You're a lame, people have been saying that since Castillo. atsch

 

The commission would've agreed to it but Cotto(e)'s team didn't want them.

 

I really think this is a case where both fighters "won" the event. . . Cotto's stock goes up slightly in the loss. . Mayweather proved he was still Mayweather. . .

Cotto could step right back in against any big name (probably even a Pac rematch @ 150-154) based off the common perception of his performance (which was good, but he wans't close to winning like some mainstream fans might think). . But still, just because he did that good against FLoyd, his stock goes up.

 

When the crowd who bought tickets to see you boos you, because you are such an ******* that you want to leave the ring without talking to them, I would say you lost the event.

Floyd won it, when he gave fans an exciting fight and dug deep with all his injuries and sickness to dominate Cotto in a spirited fight.

 

Floyd was sick and he had a hand injury. This is fact.

Cotto was absolutely dominated by Floyd,

 

Mayweather won by a wide margin on the cards. That is not Cotto winning the event. Cotto is not a young fighter who didn't have a title who was biting off more than he can chew. He had a title and he lost it in a rather wide decision. The fight was tougher than the cards showed,but Cotto did not win the event. Mayweather won the fight and won the event. Abril is more of a guy who won the event againts Rios.

 

I thought both fighters showed a lot in that fight. Floyd didn't run for many years now and fought in the pocket as he promised.
