Thread: Oh come on, ESPN's coverage of Pacquaio-Cotto

I guess all that really matters is that they're covering it, Pacquaio-Hatton got a lot of play on ESPN and that's good for boxing.

BUT, I was just watching sportscenter and before they go to commercial they do a little teaser showing both guys and the announcer says "Its supposed to be an easy victory for Manny Pacquaio but....that's what they said about Tyson-Douglas. Does Miguel Cotto have what it takes to pull off the big upset."

LMFAO

have they actually ever seen miguel cotto fight??

To be fair they do have Rafael on now talking about how Cotto is being underestimated.

And Rafael actually picked Cotto. In retrospect its just ESPN over dramatizing things like they do with everything but I did kind of throw up in my mouth when I heard that.

In Britain Matthew Hatton can emulate his brother by winning the IBF welterweight championship of the world tonight.

I heard that on a radio station this morning called "talk sport"

I don't know what to make of that fight. As it relates to the prediction contest I mean, which is really the only reason I still watch boxing.

Is N'dou really gonna stop him? If he doesn't will he get the decision assuming its reasonably close and Hatton throws more punches? I'm perplexed.

Well I think all Hatton has to do is stay upright - i've got money on it.

N'dou might (should) batter him easy, but he isn't a massive puncher, he doesn't have a great workrate, he's 75-years-old and in Hatton's backyard.

N'dou needs a KO to get a draw.
