Thread: I don't want to jinx it but GOOD JOB

Mad respect for both the fighters AND the fans for having class and simply enjoying a classic fight where both fighters fought their hearts out.



Margarito and Cotto never talked shit, they never called each other names, and they were very respectful during and after the fight.


So far the fans of both fighters have accepted the outcome and not called names or done anything but be respectful of the fans and the fighters and that's what I wish would happen after every big fight

Agreed Lyle.What a difference from aftermath of Hopkins/Calzaghe or dare I say, Pac/Marquez ......

Breath of fresh air indeed!

Reps to you for this post, Lyle. Yes... as saddened as I am over the outcome of the fight, I have nothing but the utmost respect for Margarito... the man and the fighter. I also remain a true Cotto fan and have the utmost respect for him also. I feel proud of the effort Cotto put forth in defeat.

No excuses... Cotto left it all out in the ring, and simply lost to a more powerful opponent. It was a classic fight.

I have faith Cotto will be back and be more dangerous than ever....and you have to figure Margarito may move up to 154 after a while. I would love to see Margarito vs Mora (because I hate Mora), Mayorga (would be a big battle), or Duddy if he can win a title

On the way to youtube to go watch this fight right now.

Lyle, you should rename your post to "I'm glad no one has called mo out yet."

Could all the Cotto fans have shown the same "class" if Cotto would have done what the world thought he was gonna do? Would you? If you would like I can quote you a post from April where you swore on that Cotto would KO Tony, being rude as f#@$ and even betting 500 rep point on this fight. I hope you have paid up cuz I will remind the person you bet with to collect.

Most all of Cotto's fans have been gracious in his defeat and I didnt take offense to what any of them said about this fight except for you and Danny G. Others were offensive to Tony but you guys were rude to me and I dont care about that as I know that its a very passionate sport and discussions. But I kinda see you changing your tune on why and how this happened now on some of the post fight posts.

Just repeat after me..."Cotto got Owned"
