I wonder where that chump FronzenDummy is? He said Shane was going to knock Cotto out.
;D
Not by the hair on my chinny, chin, chin.
BTW, FrozenDummy, There is no way in hell Floyd could put a dent in Cotto
;)

I picked Cotto by UD! U f@K

I was screaming for Mosley at times though.:)

Yea good job boys i said Mosley would win but like i said im fan of both so i didn't care who won good job Cotto.

I was wrong.................................way wrong. Good call guys.

Well done Cotto, but that fight could of gone either way. 115-113 to Mosley and i wouldn't of grumbled.

:bag: yeah i said Cotto would win in a close one ;D ;D ;D

Been a fan for years :smilie_pinoc:
















Truthfully though i'm glad hes proved me wrong... hes great for boxing and its night like this Danny that you should relish as youve backed him all the way... and its the highes of being a boxing fan and reminds us why we love the sport so much ;)

I think this was the best possible outcome, even though I picked Shane to win both guy gave a good account of themselves.

look at both compubox #'s and the ebb and flow of the fight. The two fighters landed exactly 246 punches each. But Mosley landed 27 more power punches. And his were the more powerful of the two considering he was never clearly hurt and Cotto obviously was. Also Mosley FORCED Cotto out of his pressure style by obviously hurting him and making Cotto fight going backwards for the last 4 rounds of the fight. A FULL THIRD of the fight. So in the end Mosley forced his will upon Cotto and racked up more power punches. Sounds like the winner of a fight to me.

I saw it that way, but it was close enough that I'm not complaining. Cotto's a damn great fighter, and tonight he showed why by staying in there with an ATG, in my opinion.

You have to take a championship belt away from a champion and that didnt happen.

That is not true. You must have missed Hopkins-Taylor I.

Are you going to post this in each and every thread? We saw the #rs and they are all close Mosley has the advantage in power punches but did you count thr power punches? I don't trust these numbers. Mosley admitted defeat. I don't hear Mosley complaining other than that his ear is hurting like a mother phuker.

I wear the dumbarse whoops award tonight on this one......Mosley fought dumb and reserved, No tko Tonight.
Cotto fought ,Marched threw,and adjusted Well .......He fought and ONLY in the 12th made Michael Nunn proud. :moped:

and still.................... :D

Same here Ice....I thought Mosley would outbox Cotto and win the UD but hey Cotto did a great job and I give Him hats off....I also said I liked both gus and it really did not matter to me who won...Both are class acts....

I am a proud Cotto fan tonight.

I have followed Cotto since day one & up until this year...I had never had doubts...but Cotto far surpassed any expectations that I have ever had of him.

Truely...I really didn't think that he could handle Shane...& in the end...I will probably be shocked over this win for days...weeks.

I have no issues with admitting that I was wrong...especially seeing that I get more out of being wrong than I do being right this time.

Now...as far as arguing about numbers & what not...unless you are deaf & blind...you can't argue with the facts.

Cotto won.
Mosley lost.

Shane confirmed it verbally & if you looked at Mosley...it was all over his face.

Much respect to Cotto...just don't fight Floyd.

That's all I want.

And you'll be wrong come December the 8th aswell hehe ;D

GOOOOOOOOOOO RICKY HATTON!!!!

I have been underetimating Cotto for too long, I picked Zab to beat him and Shane...I dont know if I'll pick against him anymore ;)

I was wrong myself....I actually thoght Shane's speed and combos would win the fight for him :-\..but it didn't...Oh well....Hats off to Both Cotto and Mosley for performing like champions....

You know what impressed me most about Cotto is the fact he is improving...he is not just a come in and hope his power gets him through guy....he is learning that somtimes you need to back off a bit make sure you do not get over zelous....and he will keep getting better....IMO Cotto's future is going no where but up

at 147 other then PBF, I really don't see who could stop Cotto.

I have to get this off my chest. I just do cause I didn't really do this when BCD became champ and I really didn't do it when Kess became champ.

I've been defending & preaching the Cotto bible for years now (5) to be more exact. It feels good to be following a fighter and supporting a fighter from his beginings. I remember sitting around the house friday nights when his fights we're being shown on Solo Boxeo the kid was just 9-0 and already I was a fan. It just feels good to see him come along all this way. 8)

CC,it feels great to support a fighter from the beginning and see him blossom doesn't it? I hope my boy Linares manages to do this too. As for Cotto,never bet against this guy. Mayweather would cause him problems,but only with his movement. ;D

I hope I am, I hope I am Lefty. Nothing would make me happier than having to listen to you rub it in if Hatton wins, plus giving you 50cc's. You won't hear me crying.

Honestly i think Cotto is the best welter now i mean look who he has beat at welter and then look who PBF beat i have to say Cotto has better wins.

Danny, based on your reasoning, Floyd Mayweather is a chump too because he predicted Shane would KO Cotto after the first power punch (or was that Roger who said that?) ::**

Hey, there were too many CHUMPS on the Mosley bandwagon. Even fat azz Vargas said Shane was going to knock out Cotto in the first. LOL

Like I said before, there are a lot of people who are going to get this wrong and they did.
If Floyd said that, I know he is afraid of Cotto now. He claims he is the all knowing of this sport? He thinks he is the shiet that don't stink but when Cotto stomps him, the smell will come out of Floyd just like the rest of his fast super speed opponents that were posed to beat Cotto. Not even Floyds track shoes or shoulder roll will help him. Can you feel the tention? Floyd has not even got past Hatton yet and his fans are trembling because of Cotto. ;D
:o

I have to agree with Danny. ALOT of people made out that Migule was a class below Shane,a step below,heck even Hatton aid Cotto would lose because he's "too crude and does not have enough variation" or something along those lines. Ironic,because those are the 2 reasons he won't beat Floyd.

As for Floyd,he has another fighter to beat,but someone MUCH MUCH tougher than ANYONE he has faced for a LONG time. Someone young,in their prime,and monstrous at 147,who is NOT coming off a loss,NOT old,and NOT fighting at 147 for only the second time,having scraped a W in his only other fight at WW.

Well done to Cotto, I must say im gutted as Im a massive Mosley fan and I predicted a KO win over Cotto in the 10th. i knew it would be a tough fight for both fighters.

You cant feel bad for picking mosley it was damn close, and like i said age my only concern and that was more than likley the difference, could you imagine shane at 27 in there against cotto, hed of won easily

I do not know about Cotto "improving." He's always had the ability to adjust in fights and that's what separated him from most up and comers who never have a plan b if one is necessary. Cotto has always had that jab, and when he abandons it (see Corley and Torres) he has problems. Cotto has always had the ability to box and "backed off a bit" against N'dou and Abdullaev. So maybe Cotto is "learning" to start everthing with the jab, if anything. The KO will come, but the jab will make it come.

IMO he is getting better....Even if it means knowing when to back off and when to work off the jab,,,it means he is using his head more and that will only help him in the future....It is good to see a guy with power like Cotto box more....How many times in the past have we seen decent boxers with power forget how to use the basics and rely on power only?......just to have it backfire

Yeah, and setting up off a double jab moving in too sometimes.
