Cotto vs Alvarez live

[TitoFan]

First things first. Canelo won the fight, and my congratulations to him and his team. He fought well enough to win, although I thought the scorecards were excessively wide. Still.... he did a great job, and my hat's off to him. He also spoke very well during and after the fight. He's got a great future ahead of him, provided he keeps his discipline and fights at the weight he's meant to fight.

No regrets from Cotto's effort, though. He fought his heart out, and did the best he possibly could. It turns out I was right. The size, age, and power difference were just too much to overcome. Cotto outboxed Canelo in several rounds, hence my opinion that the judges were, albeit predictably, very unkind to him.

Cotto has nothing to hang his head about. He lost to a bigger, stronger, younger, up-and-coming fighter in what to me was a great fight. If he were to walk away from boxing at this point, he's had a spectacular HOF career and has nothing left to prove. Cotto haters are elated, of course, but hey you can't win them all. I was happy with Cotto's effort, but willing to accept the defeat.

Thanks Freedom!!!!

Mayweather taught these two well. Very defensive fight by both. 8th round was the only standout round imo. All Canelo. I had it 6-4-2 even. Canelo.
9/10 really hard to score.
Bad advice from Roach in the championship rounds. but..based on the score cards it wouldn't have mattered.

Solid jab per Cotto, but nothing else. Canelo best asset imo was using the center of the ring as a basis for his work.
He didn't cut the ring off BUT!! He didn't chase/follow Cotto. He kinda... would step back toward the center ring which allowed him to just simply turn to compensate for all of Cotto's movement.

Canelo was ready to trade, but Roach and Cotto wanted none of that.

The defense i am seeing from this guy is getting better every time i see it i mean he is still so young not sure he has even peaked yet. GGG is going to be hard fight but Canelo can box has a great chin and has the enough power to back him off going to be a great fight if it happens.

I honestly think he is about peaked. I think he will be on the downhill in 3 years max. Probably more like 2 though.
