Cotto v Geale Thread

[TitoFan]

So now Geale is garbage eh. You really cant make this shit up. The guy comes in as half a man to fight for a title he was not allowed to make weight for, looks like death warmed over at the weigh in and appears weakened from the opening bell. Why the need for a catch with this garbage? Why any celebration at all over this win? Its tainted tuna. The Hbo kissing ass after the fight was almost as bad as the script given to Geale. The real middleweight champion was barely mentioned and instead they concentrate on yet another non middleweight fight. So speaking of garbage, what kind of trash is he going to try and pass on to Alvarez? I mean Cotto was under 154. Whats he doing at 160 when he has no inclination of defending 160? Why does the establishment allow this open cheating?

Garbage indeed.

Wow! Geale was asked to lose 3 whole goddamn pounds below his normal fighting weight. That has to be a first in the history of boxing!! No wonder the hatemongers are out in force. I'm surprised there isn't a lynch mob in front of Cotto's house right now. Because no other fighter in history has asked for a catchweight... and no other fighter in history has agreed to a catchweight. Deplorable! Cotto didn't weight 160 for the fight? Unacceptable! He should've been force fed a double helping of lasagna and half a dozen chocolate milkshakes before the fight, to pump him up to 160. THEN we would've had a fair fight. Personally, I would ask for a Congressional inquiry into this whole stinking mess, in which I'm sure all Cotto's fellow professional boxers would turn state's witnesses in order to bring this cheater to justice.... and boxing can proceed with the order and normality that it currently does now.

Geale is a middleweight, he was apparently fighting for the middleweight title. Dragging him below the middleweight limit where he's bone dry is both reckless, dangerous and a black eye on boxing and any attempts it has made to improve fighter safety over the years.


I've had nothing but respect for Cotto throughout his career but on this occasion I view him as nothing more than a cheat and no better than a guy who comes to the ring jacked up to his eyeballs.


A disgraceful and dangerous act of cowardice. That goes for anyone who thought this was an OK thing to do.

Ironic thing is, in all likelihood, he didn't need those 3 pounds. He would have outclassed Geale regardless, all he did was tarnish his win
