Yep, iv got no excuses. I thought hed wipe the floor with Cotto. I thought hed be too big and strong. I was recently watched figths of his from like 8 years ago where hes just a brawling machine that consistantly throws punches from everywhere. What we saw tonight was a 38 year old, semi retired, hesitant and somewhat tired fighter extend Cotto in to the 12th. Had this fight have happened 8 years ago I still believe the outcome would have been what I thought was going to happen.

Although Mayorga made weight comfortably, he seemed to lack any energy and wanted to sit and fight off the ropes rather than pressure and use his strength which was how he would have won.
Ya he did look a gas'd in corner after the the middle rounds and it looked like he started pacing himself after that.
