Re: I should be ashamed of myself (Cotto Vs. Gomez)
Okay, I used to be a fan of Gomez's when I watched the show, but since he beat Gatti, his head swelled with self importance, as evident with his cheesy videos he made for the fight, plus all the crap he was spewing before the fight. So I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Cotto embarrass, and humble him. He needed to be taken down a notch.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't want to see the kid get seriously hurt. I was pissed that his own father didn't stop the fight, as some of you have said.
I've watched the fight 8 times already, and I'll probably keep watching it some more. I keep hitting the instant replay button at a few points in the fight, like when Cotto gives him a look right after the bell rings at the end of the 1st round, it's a look as though he's telling Gomez that he doesn't deserve to be in the ring with him. Also the body shot, putting him down. I just love watching those over and over again. I'm going to ask Danny to make gifs of those for me. ;D
Re: I should be ashamed of myself (Cotto Vs. Gomez)
Cotto took it easy on him. This was a pro vs. an amateur. I liked it, because it illustrated the difference between a top pro and a nobody. Cotto could've really hurt Gomez if he wanted to, but he was happy to merely humiliate him. Some chump in a couple years is gonna beat Gomez and pretend this makes him a challenger. Any good fighter can look like gangbusters vs. mediocre talent. Every fighter out there has a highlight film vs. chumps like these. Its when you step up to the top guys is when you make your bones.
Cotto is and has been the real deal, he took this fight because it made some good money and was a good prelude to the Margo fight. He has been fighting some top guys, so he deserves a bunny.
I'm a Floyd fan, but if Floyd wasn't from my home town and gym, I'd be a bigger Cotto fan. I love this guy's skills and attitude, who doesn't? I still think Floyd is too skilled not to beat him right now, but Cotto is just awesome to me.

Well just make sure you have a gif made of Gomez getting knocked down by that nice stiff jab.
Make sure his face goes on the Miguel Cotto art gallery;D
Cheers... Have some rep if it allows:cool:

I just saw this reply now I must have missed it...
Majesty,
My issue is NOT with his religion or his belief. You need to re-read my post. My issue is that he says "I don't mean to sound horrible but I knew there was gonna be a stretcher"
Nevermind the Allah part cause that's not what my post is about. Cross the Allah part out. I just put there to complete the quote. The issue the part about the stretcher. How the fuck you say that.
It's like saying I don't mean to sound horrible or anything but I knew I was gonna send him to the emergency room. or I knew he was gonna get hospitalized. I mean really... :mad:
So leave the 'religion' thing out that's not what my post was about. :)

Is it like when Ray Robinson said he didnt wanna fight Doyle because he had a dream he would kill him or he knew a death would be involved? And then he went into the fight and actually did kill him?

I think there's a difference in dreaming about something and just thinking up something. :)

I agree. But I dont think he(Hamed) said whether he dreamed it or thought it, he just said he knew in some way so he very well may have. I dont know, I didnt see anything wrong with him saying he didnt want to sound horrible but knew there would be a stretcher, didnt he also say he hopes the kid will be alright and that allah keeps him safe? That sounded classy to me.
If he had went out and said "I knew i was gonna put him on a stretcher because its my power, look at them carrying him out on a stretcher thats what I do." I could see a big problem with something. But he seemed to care about the wellbeing of his opponent, I didnt see anything wrong with that. But hey different opinions :) I rep you anyway
