    I scored it 115-113 Cotto

    He just did enough to deserve the verdict to.

    I had the fight 7-5 ... with a round or two going even ... and I had Cotto winning by a point the second time.

    The first time I had Cotto winning by a bigger margin but after watching the championship rounds again ... I didn't see the score as I had it the first time.

    STFU :lol: I agree though, and I'll be celebrating too, although I'll be cursing you too :good Cotto's demenour is the best in boxing if you ask me, cold as ice, silent assassin look of his is truely ****ing brilliant to watch. The only other fighter that made me appreciate his persona more was Salvador Sanchez, his facial expressions never changed, even when he was murdering the opp :bbb

    I wasn't suprised that Cotto outbox Mosley ... I was more surprised at Cotto's speed and agility ... along with his right hand ... it might not have hurt Mosley but it scored and it scored everytime he threw it.

    I never thought that Mosley was a good boxer ... he's just fast and how power ... he was never a fighter with good head and shoulder movement ... a fighter with a good jab ... he never pivot'd and used angles.

    When he got on his toes and started to move against Cotto ... he seemed stiff, tense, and uncomfortable ...

    He kept his left hand down to and was paying for it throughout that fight ...

    word. i know right... i swear his handspeed went up 2levels since his fight with zab when i watching this, i didnt expect him to have faster hands then mosley, i expected the opposite ....but yeah he boxed pretty beautifully, soon as i noticed he was going to beat mosely, and he showed he can mix it up in the inside and box from a distance, he went from A class fighter to Elite

    I can tell you this ... not to take the subject to a different direction ... but Cotto showed me that he was in a different league than most fighters at or around his division.

    I'm not saying that he's the best ... since the retirement of PBF, but he's damn good.

    Also this shed some light on the fight coming up ... Cotto is too fast for Margarito ... and Margarito is too stiff ...

    I also watched Margarito v Cintron ... and Cintron hit Margarito but he wasn't in position to be effective with his punches ... I think that Margarito's chin will be tested on Saturday night.

    I had it 7-4 for cotto with one even. Cottos speed was incredible your right. It was a close fight but clear and unanimous. If anything i think the HBO commentators made the fight even closer by saying cotto was hurt a whole bunch of times when he really wasnt.

    No ... everyone could see that Cotto was hurt ... the crowd errupted in the latter rounds when they seen Mosley hawking and beating Cotto down for those few minutes.

    You hear chants of "Mosley" ... then you heard chants of "Cotto" ...

    yeah yeah i feel you.......but at the same time, i think the mosley that showed up that night easily beats all welters aside from Cotto, Mayweather, and maaaaaaaaaybe Berto and Williams

    I think Paul Williams can beat Cotto ... his speed, length, endurance, and workrate ... he also has a decent chin ...

    I think that Cotto will kill Berto ...
