*dead* @ Bieber walking out with Floyd, the hell

by dmize Sun May 06, 2012 5:05 am

3rd round was close, still think Mayweather got that one though. 3-0 at this point

by dmize Sun May 06, 2012 5:09 am

You can see Cottos strategy, he's trying to catch Floyd in the corner and hit him with counters from there. Not working at all, even when he's caught him he's not landing. Floyds welcoming it though.

4th round wasn't close, easily to Floyd

edit: Cottos finally adjusting, he was getting kileld on the edge

Floyd is one of the best ever at adjusting. He's buying into Cotto's strategy and killing him with it. Its not even close.

by dmize Sun May 06, 2012 5:17 am

Cotto got that one

by Blue Barrett Sun May 06, 2012 5:17 am

Okay, nice string of moves by Cotto in that stretch.

by dmize Sun May 06, 2012 5:24 am

Great round

by Blue Barrett Sun May 06, 2012 5:25 am

Holy sh*t Cotto! Shocked

by dmize Sun May 06, 2012 5:38 am

Cotto had a few good rounds in a row, but this is a UD for Mayweather

by dmize Sun May 06, 2012 5:39 am

oh shyt he almost took down Cotto

by justdoit_ Sun May 06, 2012 5:41 am

Respect to Cotto.

by Blue Barrett Sun May 06, 2012 5:45 am

Nice fight from Cotto BUT......

Money boy lives on. :bow:

Here we go, another Larry Merchant-Mayweather interview Laughing

The hate for Mayweather in the U.S is just unbelievable! You people should adore this man FFS! Mad

by justdoit_ Sun May 06, 2012 5:49 am

I freakin' love me some Money.

LM bringing up jailtime, what a [bleep] Laughing

Agree that Canelo definitely is not ready... we need Mayweather-Pacquiao Cool

Money boy wins. He'll KO Pacquiao smoking

Most of the media seems to hate Floyd, especially HBO(had Cotto winning tonight). BoxNation announcers absolutely love Floyd though.

And yeah Cotto probably worked Mayweather as much as anyone. If we can't get Mayweather-Pacquiao next, I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch of tonight again. Thumbs up

HBO had Cotto winning? Not Lederman..

Anyways Cotto put up a fight and didn't just come there to get a paycheck, respect to him for that.. But Mayweather is too good, if you don't knock him out then you can't beat him

They are just jelly brah, anyway have any links for this and the Saul and Mosley fight if possible.....

If i watched it i would never have got up for Newcastle v City Laughing

As for Mayweather v Pacquaio, i do hope it happens but mainly because it will stop all these casual fans that think Pacquaio would KO him in 2 rounds Laughing

But for it to happen and Floyd to shut up some haters, Bob Arum needs to grow a pair.

I didn't watch the HBO stream, switched over to BoxNation. But I heard Lampley/Steward were better than Sheridan/Atlas, who like some said afterward, were convinced of the fights result before it even started.

Great fight, Cotto is one HELL of a fighter. H.O.F for sure.

Floyd is just the master, even at 35. One of the best to ever do it, top 10 I would say at least.

Top 5 easy of all the guys in his weight class, probably top 3.

I dont even care about Pacman and Floyd anymore, it is what it is. Neither really have to prove themselves in my eyes, it would be good to settle it and it would sure shut a hell of alot of idiots up but at 35 and 33, these two are probably right on the edge in terms of the peak of their powers.

I reckon Pacman may already have peaked and is on the way down, we will see.

I repeat, Pacquiao will get KO'd! Twisted Evil

Floyd was smart and turned it up a notch at the end to give himself the edge.

Love Money though will go down as a GOAT for sure imo

I think he'll retire 50-0. Its unlikely as he's getting older, but his will and pride will push him through it.
