The worst commentating I have ever seen. Biased to the nth degree in favor of Mayweather. It isn't just the judging we have to deal with in boxing or the ridiculous numbers of belts, it is now also the appalling excuse for commentary that we seem to be getting.
Really? Biased? I thought he gave Cotto a lot of credit during the fight, Mayweather was giving Cotto a boxing lesson and several times Sheridan did mention that Cotto was giving his all and that he was a great champion and fighter, but Mayweather was too good. He was right.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
I watched it on HBO, but that's exactly the same thing they said regarding Cotto and it was only in order to make Floyd sound good. Saying Cotto was a great champion giving it his all without actually acknowledging that he was in the fight or commenting on what he was doing. For whatever reason it seems you didn't want to see a good fight either though, at least those guys were getting paid.
Yes, it was extremely biased.
Cotto wasn't exactly hitting air all night as they repeatedly tried to insist, I certainly didn't see him receive enough credit for his work at all. And then every time Mayweather opened up he was apparently putting on a masterclass despite a lot of his work not landing cleanly. Very biased.
Mayweather won and was more exciting than normal, but it was hard fought. Mayweather only really pulled away in the final 2 rounds. Cotto had evened up the fight somewhat with his mid fight effort. The cards were off and the commentary was quite definitely off.
It was almost painful to listen to at times as it didn't match what I was seeing at all.
quite literally the entire fight was about Mayweather, how exceptional he was how when cot to was hitting him to body 3 times the commentary would say 'and he cannot land a head shot' point is aside from the fact he did, look at floods face, but he was actually throwing 4 or 5 shots to the body so of course he wasn't going to get a head shot!
I just thought it was a complete joke!!!
I had it 117-111 and while i'll admit Mayweather did it tough Cotto was never really in the hunt as far as a win is concerned. I gave Cotto rounds 6, 8 and 9. Mayweather did what he had to do and Cotto was lucky to survive the final round. Cotto just couldn't hit him often enough, Mayweather fought him on his terms, at his weight and clearly won the fight.
They're both the same height, Cotto is actually shorter at 5'7 even tho they list him at 5'8, and the same size as well. Mayweather chose to come in at 151 to gain a speed edge I imagine.
Regardless I think its crazy not to give Cotto ANY of the first 5 rounds.
Miguel showed the best defense I've ever seen from him and blocked many of Floyd's shots, he also did some great body work which was often ignored by the commentators. Most clearly he found a home for his single, power jab which caught Floyd backing straight up numerous times.
I think the commentary along with the aura of invincibility of Floyd influenced some to give Floyd every single close round.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
Third man you must of been watchin on a stream It was shocking commentary!
They were so bad they were talking over one of those sexy super slow-mo's showing Floyd getting hit square on the chin while saying ''well that punch was clearly blocked''.
Fuck it, Bob sheridan must of been watching a stream!

All i can say is i think there is more bias against Floyd than anything coming from Bob Sheridan. I had another look and Sheridan on no less than 3 occasions states that Cotto is a world class champion getting beaten by an all time great. That is exactly what happened and i am a great admirer of Miguel Cotto, but he only won 3 rounds IMO despite fighting a great fight.
Commentators were a joke and it spoilt a very good fight for me. The love for Floyd was awful and Cotto’s work was invisible. Even when Floyd was doing nothing, he was called a defensive genius.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
And Sheridan kept saying the crowd is going nuts when Cotto is doing good work but they don't know what's really happening - that he's getting the worst of the exchanges. Funny thing is he kept whining about Floyd laying too much at the ropes when he's doing great at a distance. I was like WTF, what is it really you blind arse kissing muthaf*cka!
