Mayweather-Cotto official fight thread

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

First topic message reminder :

Firstly am i the only person who finds Bunce annoying?

Anyways, I'm going for a Mayweather TKO Round 10

[alanqlm]

Mosley might get a draw on at least 1 card with Trowbridge judging he seems to have come up with some odd 1s lately.

For the record I have it 118-111 at the close

[manos de piedra]

Good fight actually. I was impressed with Alvarez. Definately passed this test the right way.

Credit to Mosley. He turned up to win and showed tremedous grit. I actually think he will still get fights based on that showing.

[manos de piedra]

Such a disgrace that Towbridge gets to judge this fight after what he did to Abril.

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

Give over Az, stop hating on the kid.

Wasn't it you who said he was chinny also, like every argument you bring up cotto the fat lightweight, he defiantly isnt chinny after this.

He is quick, powerful and defensively sound. Mosley hit a lot of gloves and arms, and when in trouble simply tied up.

Mosley just won't get knocked out, Alvarez couldn't do anything more

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Well that was a very very good fight, won't be surprised if it's better than the main-event.

Az fair enough, its time for Alvarez to be put in a risky fight now. More than ready.

[alanqlm]

On a completely different tangent while we are waiting for Floyd.... Is Ricky Hatton promoted Anthony Crolla being on the panel tonight a sign of things to come i.e Hattons stable going to Boxnation?

[Guest]

Difference of opinion is great!

I agree with Azania that on this fight Saul hasn't looked too hot.

[hampo17]

Just said in your other thread TD that fight doesn't tell you a lot. He could of stepped it up at any time but showed to much respect to Mosley.

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

I think he expected Mosley to wilt quicker than he did. Mosley was past his prime but managed to sustain his stamina for longer than he did vs mayweather. He looked more like the mayweather Mosley than the one vs pacquiao. He had hunger and really sucked it in to survive

[manos de piedra]

I honestly cant see the complaints with Alvarez in that. What did he do wrong?

Worst thing one could argue really was that Mosley is past it but Alvarez did what he had to do quite impressively. Mosley is just made of rock. Ive never seen him look so marked up though.

Alvarez defence even looked better than usual which is something I wasnt banking on. Nice shot variety, extremelly accurate (50%!), good mix between head and body. Why the criticism?

I dont hate the kid. I just dont rate him that highly.

I think everyone is looking past the idea of Hatton promotions joining boxnation, Hatton knows that if he doesn't get a TV company involved then his fighters will leave and boxnation will offer more money than ITV/BBC/Channel 5, so financially it would make sense for Hatton and Warren to bury the hatchet.

No he didn't. He just couldn't do anything else.

[azania]

Someone retire Larry Merchant also. That guy gets on my last nerve.

Justin Bieber?????? Hope Floyd turns round and smacks him just for a laugh.

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Justin Bieber bringing belts out LOL

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

Justin berber and 50 cent carrying out his belts, good old floyd

I'm buzzing for this now

[azania]

[hampo17]

Floyd seems more nervous than normal to me, not as jokey walking to the ring.

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

He said hes tired being the bad guy so that may be why, and going in first means his opponent won't see him do it anyway

Can't believe the commentators saying that mayweather could tire for wearing leather shorts. he's a pro boxer that won't do anything to him

[hampo17]

Yeah that made me laugh, thought Gok Wan was commentating

[hampo17]

Mayweathers round that one.

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

10-9 mayweather, good start, looks sharp, his jab is so quick

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Mayweather's too skilled!

[hampo17]

Don't think Cotto landed one clean punch while Mayweather was on the ropes!

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

20-18 floyd, better from cotto but is hitting gloves and arms when he does connect. Floyd is wipping in right hands

[azania]

Schooling.

[azania]

Those commentators are annoying. Wish they would shut up. Come back Duke McKenzie!

[AlexHuckerby]

My God, Mayweather looks bigger than Cotto...

[Guest]

Floyd looks so sharp, it's a mark of respect how focused Floyd looks. Impressive stuff so far.

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

Schooling.

^this, he looks as good as ever

[alanqlm]

These commentators are putting my head away, Yes Mayweather looks great, but even when Cotto lands and Floyd misses they are praise Floyd for it.

[manos de piedra]

Commentators are getting a bit carried away. If this was Mosley/Alvarez they would be saying the rounds were close.

[Guest]

Floyd may go on to KO Cotto later but I think the commentator is getting a little too excited at this stage, Cotto has not looked hurt despite Floyd looking impressive.

[zx1234]

i think even if cotto drops mayweather they will praise mayweather for powers of recovery or something

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

Better round for cotto, however, he's using a lot of energy for little reward

This is a pretty good fight

[EdWoodjr]

The gulf in class is scary

[azania]

i think even if cotto drops mayweather they will praise mayweather for powers of recovery or something

True/ They're right up his rear end.

[manos de piedra]

Yeah the commentators are a joke. This is a competitve fight actually, not a sparring session for Mayweather.

[AlexHuckerby]

Cottos round that last one for me.

[zx1234]

True/ They're right up his rear end.


they may be just getting him used to prison

[azania]

First round to Cotto.

Anyone thinks Pac has a chance against Floyd?

Ring girls are fit!!!!!

[azania]

True/ They're right up his rear end.

[Guest]

Definitely Manos, Mayweather is on it because he needs to be.

He's trying to take the middle ring but Miguel is still in there.

Floyd clearly winning at this stage.

[azania]

The post fight interview with Larry Merchant will be fun.

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

How are you guys scoring it?

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Az I don't give Manny a chance, honestly.

[AlexHuckerby]

When was the last time Mayweather bled?

[alanqlm]

Cotto seemed to switch to fighting off the back foot there instead of chasing Floyd and it worked for him in that round.
