what a performance from cotto

[gardenweasel]

he was" tight"....good "tight"...not bad "tight".....

he was focused,,,his defense was sharp....pinto couldn`t penetrate his defense even a little......not with those long punches...

pinto,on the other hand,looked "loose".....his hands were down much of the fight....and when he threw his big,long right hand,cotto made him pay with short,quick left hook counters....

and cotto`s right hand shocked me...straight and right on the button....

he was quick getting inside on pinto...

i really didn`t see anything to negatively critique...

this guy is the next big thing in boxing....a beautiful..nearly flawless performance...

margarito was exposed...i thought it might happen...i mean,i thought he did enough to get the nod...but,it was in puerto rico....

he was sloppy.....his punches were wide and flailing....he was actually hurt several times by santos...

margaito and mayorga would be a wild bout....

but margarito isn`t truly top notch material...i mean,certainly not pfp material..

he`s fun to watch....makes good fights...but he`s seriously flawed...he`s mayorga light....

Cotto looks legit. I think he's passed Gatti and Hatton into the #4 spot in the 140 pound division. Margarito definately didn't have his best performance but I still believe he would of stopped Santos if the fight continued. I will never understand why someone would ever agree to fight another fighter in his hometown or country.
