Cotto was landing the bigger blows,the cleaner blows,working the body,pumping the jab and bust Paulie up. You are mistaking courage for points. How anyone saw that going to the last round is beyond me.....Cotto wa salso blocking a VERY HIGH percentage of what Paulie threw at the beginning with great defence,Paulie landed later and the only rounds Paulie won was when Cotto did nothing for the round. Even one of the US commentators stated he was not counting the rounds but Cotto won by a large amount. To say 1 round....saying it was as close as Collazo and Hatton....noooooo way. I have seen the fight 3 times,the judges scorecards and the US commentator sooooo......and I have seen the fight 3 times,I suggest you take off the Hatton tinted glasses and watch it.Originally Posted by AC-Cobra
If it's as close as you guys said,why did Paulie look so dejected as soon as the fight ended and if there is only 1 round in it,Malignaggi will be shouting for a rematch won't he,becaus that was that close......
I can't remember what he did at the finl bell, but if that's what you're basing it on you're grasping at straws.Originally Posted by The Game
Hopkins pitched a shutout against Tarver, but didn't raise his arms at the bell and looked pretty sombre. Does that mean he lost too?
cool
i just noticed that i'm able to give cool clicks now
definately wanted to give you a cool click for awhile now wacko
good shit as usual, good shit

I think you're overrating Cotto's performance to be honest. He won the fight but in no way did he do it as easily as you're making it sound. And I think he would lose the rematchPaulie's mistake was standing and trading after Cotto butted him. When he boxed he had your boy looking average at best.
Close fight but Cotto won. It was by no means as easy as you're making it sound. Kudos to Malignaggi for doing what he did considering what was against him.. and doing it with a broken jaw and nose![]()
i ALREADY stated what I was basing it on and that was just a further example first and second,I was using that as an example in the context of this fight....did I say it applied to all fights....no.....if it was as close as you say,1 round,then surely Paulie might have felt he won it?? Surely he'd ask for a rematch straight away?Originally Posted by Clydey_2_Times

This has nothing to do with "Hatton tinted" glasses, Im a huge fan of Cotto, I always pull for the guy and I believe always will unless he faces Hatton (patriotism).
If you watch the fight again, Paulie lands a lot. And judges count damage, workrate, accuracy, ring generalship, and effort among other fings in scoring a fight, three of which I would often have given to Maglinaggi (damage not in a million years of course). And Cotto REALLY went to sleep in the middle of the fight, and I mean rounds 4 through 9 he was on cruise control for some reason. When Cotto was smiling in his corner at one point (round ten I think) I figured he knew he had been coasting and his gameplan had been to let Maglinaggi tire and then knock his ass out. At this point I was still confident Cotto could stop Paulie, with Paulies visibility cut down and Cotto seemingly having more energy left. However, despite winning the final couple of rounds, but Cotto underestimated Maglinaggi and couldnt get rid of him.
I still believe Cotto won and believe he could beat Maglinaggi in an almost shut out now he would know how to handle him, it just seems he had the wrong gameplan, or was just too weigh drained.
I didnt have it as close as Collazo and Hatton, I had that as a drawOriginally Posted by The Game

CC my friend,sorry if I sounded rude.See,we differ,Cotto did go to sleep but only for a couple of rounds and he was just blocking most of the shots coming his way..also, i dont think work rate is a factor if you are not landing,and Cotto was very very accurate,he did not land massive amounts but what he did...well you saw Paulie's face.As to your last point,you see the end,listen to everything Paulie's corner is telling him and tell me you still think it was close!Originally Posted by AC-Cobra
and Cotto smiling could mean anything bro...maybe he found it easy etc etc.
as I said before

Why did Paulie look thew way he did after the 12th? because he knows he can do better. How's that![]()
And Cotto said that he never expected the fight to be that hard. He was smiling because he got through itOriginally Posted by The Game

That's just your interpretation and you saying Paulie would win a rematch is quite ridiculous,then again,must we go through all your infamous predictions based on absolutely nothing?? http://www.ufcfightnews.com/06-cotto.htm That article sums it up for me and I give you more links if you want.....Originally Posted by Starr
Malignaggi would win the rematch because he would do something different, Cotto wouldn't![]()
And Cotto said himself that he didn't expect the fight to be that hard. So your interpretation that he thought the fight was easy is much worse![]()
Now you are making things up and obvioulsy he would not say it was easy and he could mean it was tough as in Paulie was tough to KO.Originally Posted by Starr
See you're assuming worseOriginally Posted by The Game
See Cotto's comments here genius
