Kneeguel Cotto has a soft change of heart.. it's now catchweight @ 159

[bzkfn]

I lost respect when he started crying on HBO faceoff , going far as to pulling out his Ipad to reach for an evidence that dont exist... he was like trying desperately to prove that margarito's gauge didnt look right poo hoo lol.. I understand how devastating it is to lose your first fight but dam take the loss like a man and stop looking for excuses!

He's a crybaby.. no wonder Tito is closer to Juanma.. there is no room for crying business in boxing.

Finito, criticizing a fighter like Cotto who has fought the best throughout his career for doing a catchweight and crying on TV makes you look like an idiot when you're defending a proven cheater in the same post. Margarito is a scumbag for doing what he did, and his reason for attempting it is down to lack of belief in his own ability to beat the best.

Margarito got caught with substances in his glove against Mosley, not Cotto.. He's innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.

And to clear things up, this whole plaster controversy was so overblown it's not even funny.. There were traces of substance, we are talking about a pinch of powder so all these talks of him carrying bricks and brass knuckles are rubbish..

They didnt have any concrete evidence to convict margarito..

Seeing such bitterness out of an adolescent breaks my heart. Cotto has had a great career and is headed for the HOF. Margarito is a convicted cheater, and is probably telling his stories while serving fries at a Tijuana McDonalds.

Accept it and move on.

159? wtf

159? wtf

It's a pussymove by kneeguel.

159? wtf

It's a pussymove by kneeguel.

why is it so bad? cotto is a small 154 pounder and martinez is a small 160 pounder. at 159, cotto is still giving up quite a bit of weight and an extra pound isnt going to make much of a difference. martinez has always stated that he could fight at 154 if the fight was right. remember that he stayed at 160 because he was the champion. he wanted to move back down in weight.

You summed it up perfectly by saying "an extra poud isn't going to make much of a difference."

It's going to make absolutely no difference. It's just a cheap ploy to throw off Martinez's normal routine and make him extra miserable trying to adjust for that one pound. It's a ploy that Manny used on Cotto. It's bullshit, bush-league gamesmanship

Enough with the fucking catchweights. You can't fight a guy at his weight, don't challenge him. But a minus one lb catchweight? Cotto should be ashamed of himself.

You're a fucking moron.

You keep saying Margarito hadn't been "caught" cheating before the Mosley fight. So by THAT rational you're saying Panama Lewis didn't give Aaron Pryor anything illegal when he fought Arguello and Lewis called for "the black bottle, the one I mixed"

Luis Resto also disclosed that Lewis would break apart pills used to treat asthma and pour the medicine into his water bottles, giving Resto greater lung capacity in the later rounds of a fight



But you were saying you ignorant little shitstain?

[Lineal]

159 don't mean sh-t! Sergio came up from 154 anyway & doesn't seem to have any trouble making 160

[La Cucaracha]

Don't you love catchweights

Martinez is the middleweight champion. His 160 pound title is at stake. He has to be within that range. I like Cotto and I am a fan but he is a guest in the house of Martinez and he has paid some dues as well. My belief not an opinion which is an unsubstantiated belief is that while we accommodate a guest it is still our abode. 160 is the limit and if Martinez agrees to give up a pound and all is well at the castle then so be it. Bottom line, catch weights and demands on a champion no matter how small is unfair unless he agrees otherwise take a long walk off a short pier as we used to hear in boot camp, rules are fucking rules.
