I saw the fight in a bar and could not hear the commentators, I saw it as a VERY close fight, an exciting fight, and to an extent it reminded me of the great Hagler-Duran match where those guys fought hard but were respectful of each other before, during, and after the fight (amazing for Floyd really). The only thing I really didn't like was Justin fucking Beiber being in Floyd's entourage.....the fuck Money?!?!?
Other than that it was a great fight, both fighters showed big heart, they both gave 100%, and Floyd really earned my respect in the way he fought and manner he approached the fight....maybe he feels sometimes like he has to play a certain character but this time it wasn't a movie and didn't seem like Floyd was reading a script he carried himself like a true champion and as a boxing fan I like that.
Miguel Cotto is always going to be one of my favorite fighters, he has great heart and is always in exciting matches. I always knew he would challenge Floyd and he did not disappoint! He'll win a title back and up next for him I wouldn't mind seeing Cotto-Pacquiao II (won't happen though), Cotto-Martinez, Cotto-Alvarez, Cotto-Kirkland....all very winnable fights for Miguel.
As for HBO....I'm just worn out from sports "journalism" altogether there's always an angle, there's always someone playing Devil's Advocate....it's tiring, it's boring....I can't even watch ESPN anymore and like it, it's just too up it's own ass
