The commentary on HBO is clearly becoming more and more of a farce; what I wonder, in the case of last night, is why?
All three men calling the action were flat out delusional from start to finish. They were hugging Floyds nuts so shamefully the entire 12 rounds, Cotto would've had to take his head off in order to get his just dues. I remember in the 4th or 5th round Merchant informing us that "this fight is going exactly the way people expected, Floyd is in complete control" or something along those lines, it was freaking outrageous! In the closing moments Emmanuel Steward(clearly butthurt that Cotto fired him) comes up with "Floyd could've stopped him if he'd wanted to". WHAT? Because he wobbled him with 50 seconds left? Pure lunacy.
What good do these ass clowns feel it does to be so partisan and misleading, do they think that the average fan doesn't like competitive fights? Better make it sound like Floyd is dominating instead of calling that action as it happens, in order to......... I just can't fill in a blank here Does it take away the luster of a Pacquiao bout to comment that Floyd was in a real fight last night? There was no enthusiasm whatsoever for any of Cottos damn fine work the entire 12 rounds, and it really put a damper on what a great fight it was for me.
