Cotto Paulie-post your thoughts here

Firstly what happened to the site? Just got on now after trying all day! Good fight,big mouth is a tough little bastard but my boy Cotto was very impressive!Great jab,body work,combos and although Paulie won a few of the middle rounds that was entirely due to Cotto's inactivity,which any Cotto fan will tell you is normal(in every fight,he just sits back a few rounds).The commentary was awful,Foreman and those other2 morons missed some of the action and 1 guy said he had Paulie winning at one point!!
Paulie could not make the next day conference,that's how badly he was busted up but he made me a fan,he really is tough! I had it Cotto by 5,possibly 6.His defence ws very good,Paulie only caught him clean later in the fight.

magalini will be forgotten, cotto will be remembered for all time as the man who saved us from that joke ass punk

THANK YOU COTTO :D

I thought Cotto was fortunate to come away with the win. I had it level going into the last. Cotto dug deep and pulled out the 12th. By no means did Cotto win convincingly. Paulie had him in all sorts of trouble with his hand speed.

Err.......Paulie landed hardly anything clean,Cotto was jabbing beautifully,breaking him down to the body and the left hook did not miss all night. Paulie won a couple of the middle rounds but I can guarantee you are one of the few that had it so close!!Pulled out the 12th,he was systematically breaking Paulie down,11 and 12! Dude,I think you should go and watch the fight again. ???

Paulie deserves big respect he said what he was gonna do and almost did it...

he'll be back... Cotto's matchmaker has a hard job to keep him unbeaten from here on in...

put him in with a puncher he struggles
put him in with a feather fist he struggles

on another note 2 pounds lighter for both fighters at the weigh-in stinks of scale tampering IMO

MOVE UP COTTO BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

STHU!!! Malignaggi made it a close fight with a broken nose and fractured jaw, how can you NOT respect that? Malignaggi is real!! He isn't a joke. Cotto was just the better fighter that night.

Please tell me how he struggled Mr. Boss sir(don't want to get my ass booted out of here!)?!? When did he struggle with big punchers?>? Pinto?Banged him,Torres? Knockdown was a push,and dropped him how many times? Cotto has shown he can fight fron foot,back foot,power punchers and now slick movers too. If and when Cotto and Hatton fight@147,I know who my money is on!!
I presume you did not see Cotto's combos,great D,jab and body work?!? The only reason Paulie is getting over hyped i because firstly even though he looks like a boyband member,he is tough and secondly,Cotto did not ko him...he just broke all his bones instead..

147,Cotto would be stupid to take it at 140.One can sense he wants to move up asap.

I don't think cotto can beat hatton at 140 or 147, but i think his best chance would be at 140.

yeah bring it on it would be a classic and any weight... ricky has proved he can do welter ((not a great Welter)) but can make the weight and Cotto would be more effective at that weight so for me i'd like to see it at Welter to stop any excuses after the fight ;)

most people where picking Cotto to walk through this guy but Paulie's jab was fantastic...

scorecards where close for what was a mismatch before the fight... so for me it was a struggled.

he struggled against Ndou, Torres and Corley.

dont get me wrong Cotto is a good fighter for sure... just not the great he was touted at a few years ago ;)

Actually, I'm not. Without the flash knockdown, even the judges with the widest margin would have had only 3 points in it.

Sky also said 116-111 was far too wide. Paulie landed plenty of flush shots and hurt Cotto at least once. Just because Paulie was moe marked up does not mean that he ws being overwhelmed. He outboxed Cotto for much of the fight.

Paulie did well for himself. It was a good showing and he's got a ton of heart. But Cotto was brutal towards the end. Cotto vs Hatton, there's no reason why this fight shouldn't happen in November.

I didn't get to see the fight...damn it.....it read like a good one though.... I'll wait a few days/weeks and HBO should have it on regular Cable...can't wait to watch it ...... PAULIE!!!!!!!!!!!
