HBO pissed off with Cotto..

[Puya]

Now should a unification bout happen between Williams and Margarito?

Out of topic go away

I didnt see any of this. I watched the British coverage . So basically HBO tried to embarass Cotto by showing all the worst parts .

I heard Cotto gave Tony props . Was that at the post fight presser then ?

HBO should be ashamed they sucked Cottos balls all fight they praised Cottos shots yet chose to speak over Margaritos good work.

Was sad to see.

Jim Lampley is the worst announcer in boxing history. Whatever he says, the opposite is usually happening. Both Steward and Kellerman were correctly wondering whether Cotto would be able to maintain this pace with Margarito. Lampley called their statement "audacious." Steward almost had to apologize for saying that he thought the left uppercut would be Margarito's main weapon and that he thought that Margarito was too big for Cotto. He acted this way because Lampley was shamelessly promoting Miguel Cotto.

The clip at the end was truly classless. I don't think that HBO was pissed off with Cotto. I just think that they didn't know any better. They gave the boot to Larry Merchant who usually tried to wax poetically and make inane analogies about what took place. Think this was their attempt to show a "Raging Bull" type moment, but, of course, it reeked of taking advantage of Cotto and his family.
