Cotto may never be the same

[Andre]

Too fast a stoppage
I have dreamt stuff and thought it was true before but not about boxing as yet .

So was I dreaming hearing Cotto say (post fight)
"My family is everything to me and Im everything to them I had to think of them etc..." ?

i think he did say something like that. I think he stoppage should have come like 30 seconds earlier

[Andre]

Now Im thinking about it more; I cant rememeber if it was part of the answer on why he just quit or if he will come back and try it again .

So you are saying that Taylor did have time to respond after the 2nd "Are you OK" ? Or are you even talking about Taylor?

Yeah sorry . Im stuck on thinking about Cotto and why he took a knee etc , i cant remember if he said the family relies on me so the decision is about them and me ;in regards to him stopping fighting or whether or not he may not come back and fight Margo again.
To have other priorities goig into a fight is not a real good sign either way around and wont help at all next around, but it is smart.

Yeah sorry .

LOL, but Onix and I were talking about chavez taylor.

This selective quoting of yours is messing things up Andre.

[Andre]

Yeah sorry dude,i explained above, selective reading on my behalf.

Going to have to up my fish oil intake by the looks of it .

Anyway im going to have to rewatch the fight again, hope I got the after fight interviews too.

well Margarito is fighting the same guy that cotto beat

Good point KingFrnk. A big name that is not in his prime. If Margarito hurts Mosley or even Kos/TKOs him then that can be intimidating. Like saying "I did what you couldn't do" kind of thing. Nobody is loosing/gaining weight drastically or anything. Can't wait to see this fight.

Actually it was a bit longer than a second, more like a second and a half. Two seconds tops. During this time yeah Steele asked him twice, and the after the 2nd time, he didn't even give Taylor time to respond.
It happened too fast. But Steele did things like that.

Yes, the second time he didn't wait as long as the first time he asked. He even got close to Taylor's face to maybe try to find a reaction that showed he could still do it but no, no answer, nothing. I am guessing it all has to do with the fact that there were a few seconds left not for the round but for the entire fight that may be controversial. If this was, say, round 6 when the fight got stopped then I can imagine nobody would argue the stoppage.

On top of that his dumb ass trainer or promoter (cant remember which) jumped up on the canvas and totally ddisctracted Taylor I think it made enough of a difference

Lou Duva who also trained Pernel Whitaker, Evander Holyfield, among others.
