RYAN BATES: Alfonso, I want to start by saying something that I've been saying on the record, and I'll say it directly to you: You may have lost the fight, but you didn't lose the war. You stood in there, you went toe-to-toe with the champion, Miguel Cotto. The night didn't go your way, but I think your stock went way up. And frankly, I was far more impressed with your performance than I was with Kermit Cintron's on the featured undercard. Cintron had it taken to him by Antonio Margarito, but when he got put down, he stayed down. You went down, and got back up. And for that I give you nothing but respect and admiration, I thought it was a valiant performance.
Sorry What!
RYAN: Well, Alfonso, as I said, it was a truly great performance, even in defeat,
Once again WHAT!
