Miguel Cotto: A superstar is born!!

My thoughts?

I'm pissed because I missed this fight because I had to take the missus to the beach. :-(

 

My opinion is that floyd will pick Hatton apart then pick Cotto apart.

He hit Shane tonight but so have many other fighters that Shane has fought. Styles make fight and i dont think Cotto will ever beat a PBF, that is just my opinion

 

I thought it was a good performance by both guys, Cotto showed he can box as well as slug it out. I just can't get over the guys in the general forum saying Shane was robbed.atsch

 

I kinda put it off last week when the Kess fight was on, I definitely wasn't going to miss that. I'll have to download this one ASAP.

So you think Cotto will give it to Floyd?! Big call mate. I'll have to see more of Cotto before I can make a genuine prediction though.

I think Floyd will have an easy night against Hatton. Hatton will be lucky to win 2 rounds. I really hope I'm wrong though because I'd love to see Hatton knock him out.

 

I must admit, leading up to this fight I was absolutley sure that mosely was all wrong for cotto and that cotto was going to get caught but regardless of how close it was today I think he handled mosley exceptionally well. His pressure style is heaps effective and stumped mosely a few times for sure.

As for mayweather, I'm not sure, I think I'll have a better idea post-hatton, but at the moment I couldn't bet against pbf. In saying that, today was the second time I have bet against cotto and lost! 20 kanga straight to the TAB.

Hope everyone enjoyed the fight, I thought it was well wicked.

 

Yeah if anyone else is after an avatar bet with Cotto vs Mayweather should it eventuate in the future just let me no.
Im all for Cotto.
Great win & a new superstar is well & truly born.:happy

 

You shoulda stayed off the net, and just d/l the fight.
I hate missing good fights too, i did with kess-calzage, but downloaded it after trying not to come on the net lol

 

Well done Cotto, a good name to have as a W on your resume.

I didn't see the fight but caught the rd by rd in the main forum...from the sound of things it was a fight of 2 halves?

From the updates I was reading, Cotto was faster than Mosely in the early rounds, and dominated them more, but then Mosely started coming back, and seemed to hurt Cotto around the 7th round and then Cotto stayed away for the rest of the fight...is that right?

It sure sounded a lot closer than the consensus on this thread in the main lounge, plenty crying robbery.

 

It was a great fight with Cotto proving again he is one of the best at 147lbs. His hand speed has improved out of sight IMO. He didnt rush and try and bomb Shane out, he applied good pressure and even though the fight was close at the end i thought he controlled the whole night.

Shane shouldnt be disapointed, he fought the best he could and held his feet well. Maybe time to say goodbye to a great boxing career.

 

lol ME TOO!!!!

Thats soo funny i had a massive spin out with my wife about it i ended having to conceed just to keep the peace ...:fire :fire :fire

 

Definitely wasnt robbery. I had it a draw and it was a fight in two halves.

Mosley got his attention in the 10th.

Shane didnt use any of his speed with combos in this fight which pissed me off.

 

heh. The funny thing is, me and the missus had a bit of a falling out on the way to the beach. I remember contemplating going to Scruffy's and watching the fight there, but unfortunately she came around and we patched things up.
