Disgusting commentary on Boxrec by Bob Sheridan and his sidekick

[TitoFan]

Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, and Third Man is certainly entitled to his. If he truly feels Floyd totally dominated Miguel and only lost 3 rounds, I guess it's his right. I certainly don't agree... and neither do a lot of other people, who saw Floyd having to dig down deep for the first time in a lo-n-n-n-n-n-n-g time to pull out the victory. I admire Floyd more now than before, because he met Cotto's challenge head-on, and both gave the crowd one of the more crowd-pleasing championship fights we've seen in years. I gave Miguel 5 rounds, although I'd like to see it again and score it again. Maybe I'll see it differently next time.

The sad part is, as happens with all great fights. With time, all people will remember is the unanimous decision win for Floyd over Cotto. One more notch in his belt. To be grouped into the other victims like Ortiz, Marquez, Hatton, etc. When in reality, it was nothing like those fights. As a Cotto fan, the only comfort I have is that Floyd himself knows he was in a real war... and he gave his kudos to Cotto in a very sportsmanlike manner after the fight. In a strange way, I think the Cotto fight has even increased Floyd's legacy in the boxing world.

Cotto fought a great fight, but Floyd was able to counter everything Cotto could throw at him. I have watched the fight just 2 times, i still score it the same, Floyd took some time off in the middle rounds (surely you don't believe that, do you?) and was never in any danger. Whenever i see Cotto fight, his opponents are always in danger and that includes Pacquaio in the first 2 rounds of that fight. Never at any time was Cotto able to assert himself enough for us the viewer to believe Floyd was in trouble. I think Miguel Cotto is a great fighter, he has given us some great battles, i hope he continues for a little longer. He was always going to be Floyd's toughest fight and to his credit Floyd responded.
Nobody should worry to much about Sheridan's commentary, he is a boisterous, color commentator, he is there to spice up the action, he's been around a long time. He's there for a reason, to call fights as accurately as he can and without bias. He fails miserably.

See above.

Time off? Yep, I think Floyd was ready to step on the gas whenever he felt like it and he did in round 12.

So he was just cruising the rest of the fight? Interesting.
Poor guy must've been really bored.




I'm sorry. I've tried to understand your point........... but failed miserably.
I must've watched a different fight than you.

At this point I think some posters are just looking to wind others up.
