Mayweather-Cotto official fight thread

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sun 06 May 2012, 12:36 am

Firstly am i the only person who finds Bunce annoying?

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

by John Bloody Wayne Sun 06 May 2012, 12:46 am

I prefer over enthusiasm to any kind of dullness.

Anyways, it's gonna be a decision. I don't think Mayweather has the power or workrate to stop him and I think Cotto has a chance. Best Floyd's faced in years. Style wise probably most similar to Castillo of all Floyd's opponents although that may have been too long ago to be relevant.

Think bunce is overplaying it for B.N.

He wasnt anywere near this annoying on Setanta.

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sun 06 May 2012, 1:17 am

Anyone know who the ref is? I'll be mad if it's Cortez!

by Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn Sun 06 May 2012, 1:23 am

hopefully Bayliss

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sun 06 May 2012, 2:02 am

Goodness me, I just see the weigh in again... is it me or are Floyds pacs abnormal? they're DENTED in Erm

by quentins_monkey Sun 06 May 2012, 2:19 am

Really looking forward to this now... can't see how Cotto wins it but think it'll be a good fight... is the chat thing not going to be on for this?

by azania Sun 06 May 2012, 2:31 am

The fight will be interesting up until the 6th when Floyd runs away with it.

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sun 06 May 2012, 2:33 am

Not sure.... what a K.O just now, I thought Latimore was supposed to be good?

by azania Sun 06 May 2012, 2:35 am

Someone pm me a good link.

by The Galveston Giant Sun 06 May 2012, 2:37 am

Nice finish from Quintana, great win for him, nice to see Cotto in the crowd cheering him after their war.

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sun 06 May 2012, 2:39 am

Galveston... wasn't Latimore a fave in this fight?

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sun 06 May 2012, 2:40 am

Jesse Vargas on now, another 'prospect' let's see how he gets on. Had a war last time I see him.

by **hampo17** Sun 06 May 2012, 2:44 am

Yeah was favourite SFL, huge KO.

Yeah he was but he wasn't all that.

by The Galveston Giant Sun 06 May 2012, 2:50 am

Forbes isn't going to win a round.

by School Project Sun 06 May 2012, 3:02 am

Anyone up for the chatbox??

by AlexHuckerby Sun 06 May 2012, 3:20 am

Jesse Vargas was boring yet again.

by School Project Sun 06 May 2012, 3:22 am

Yea Alex, I'm half asleep after that one!

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sun 06 May 2012, 3:35 am

Funny ay.. 2 prospects have been dissappointing.

Let's hope Alvarez is impressive!

by AlexHuckerby Sun 06 May 2012, 3:36 am

Hey, don't totally rule out Mosley here. We'll know early if he has nothing to give mind you.

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sun 06 May 2012, 3:45 am

Mosley's been good so far!

by manos de piedra Sun 06 May 2012, 3:46 am

Alvarez has too much power. He seems to hurt Shane when he lands. Not sure this will go the distance.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sun 06 May 2012, 3:47 am

Good 2nd round for alvarez, hit mosley with some good left hooks and Mosley looked a little shaken

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sun 06 May 2012, 3:51 am

28-27 Canelo but he has a nasty cut over his left eye

by azania Sun 06 May 2012, 3:52 am

Wonder how Saul will react to that cut? He doesn't look impressive to me. A live fighter will beat him on this showing.

by manos de piedra Sun 06 May 2012, 3:55 am

Mosley is doing well to take those shots. Alvarez looks good to me in this. Landing clean, effective shots.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 06 May 2012, 3:55 am

Mosley is attacking but being caught out a lot. Good fightso far to eb honest, could see Mosley getting really hurt with the way its going though.

by azania Sun 06 May 2012, 3:57 am

It is a good fight between a former A level fighter and a current B- fighter. Alvarez is poor as SSM is there for the taking and should not be allowed to be out jabbed as is being done.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sun 06 May 2012, 4:00 am

Mosley may be jabbing more but it's landing on the gloves whereas Alvarez is landing flush when he throws it

by manos de piedra Sun 06 May 2012, 4:02 am

I dont see it as close as the commentators. Shane has been inneffective, Alvarez has been effective.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sun 06 May 2012, 4:03 am

You can see why Mosley has never been stopped, he has taken some huge shots. Body shots seem to be hurting him a bit, he's slowing

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sun 06 May 2012, 4:05 am

Its finished now. Alvarez has stepped up a gear.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sun 06 May 2012, 4:07 am

This should be stopped, Mosley is holding his own but at this stage of his career he doesn't need this. Alvarez has looked class, quick, accurate and powerful

by manos de piedra Sun 06 May 2012, 4:07 am

Yeah this is getting one sided. Ive given Mosely the first round, possibly a split round also. But Mosley showing great durability. Hes getting caught with hurtful shots to head and body but is still in there.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 06 May 2012, 4:10 am

I really want this to be stopped Mosley is starting to take a beating...

by azania Sun 06 May 2012, 4:12 am

Beating up a washed up Mosely is not something to crow about.Hope Shane retires. Thanks for the memories and all that.

Time to call it a day. Dont like seeing former greats take such a beating.

by azania Sun 06 May 2012, 4:13 am

Any idea what fight the commentators are watching. Its certainly not the one I am. Its one way traffic.

by manos de piedra Sun 06 May 2012, 4:14 am

The commentators really want to give this fight to Mosley. This hasnt been a close fight.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sun 06 May 2012, 4:15 am

Body shots are where the KO come from.

Box nation commentary is awful. I've given Mosley 2 and one of which could have been a 10-10. Round 3 was also a 10-8 for Saul because of the cut

by alanqlm Sun 06 May 2012, 4:16 am

Is it true about the WBC rule the commentators were going on about that a fighter loses a point even though it was clearly accidently?

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sun 06 May 2012, 4:18 am

Az give Alvarez a break

by azania Sun 06 May 2012, 4:19 am

Yeah. That's how Honeyghan lost his WBC title.

by alanqlm Sun 06 May 2012, 4:21 am

Thats a pretty idiotic ruling... means if a fighter is mainly to blame but they get the cut they would benefit from it in a way :S

by azania Sun 06 May 2012, 4:21 am

The kid is exciting. He's being matched well. But face facts mate. Shane is 40, well past it. Coming of 2 severe beatings, a tough fight with Marg and a draw against Carlos Roadsweeper. He is no great shakes now. All he has is his strength, chin and pride.

by azania Sun 06 May 2012, 4:22 am

Yep. Totally agree.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 06 May 2012, 4:23 am

He is still a strong opponent Az shut up would you? Not as good as he used to be, but still gives Alvarez lots to learn and Alvarez has looked good.

by Guest Sun 06 May 2012, 4:23 am

Shane is well past it most definitely but he has made it competitive so I think the calls for a stoppage are exaggerated.

by azania Sun 06 May 2012, 4:25 am

He's made it competitive because Saul is not that good imo.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 06 May 2012, 4:27 am

Azania take a break from Wumming the board my goodness, you're getting worse than Waingro.
