forever in debt to mo lewis Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 msg saturday night....cant wait...they opened up extra seating for this one...thats how anticipated it is...i highly suggest shelling out the 50 for it at home if you can.(cottos june ppv fight wth zab judah at msg was worth every penny)...this will not dissapoint...on paper this is the fight of the year....ask any boxing scribe...if you consider yourself a boxing fan...but arent really aware of cotto...i suggest you get this fight...and maybe try to find some of his other bouts on youtube or whatever ill be on the train saturday morn at 10 am with a mini cooler full of heinekens... i keep wavering on where to wager...cottos youth, tenacity, and home crowd advantage scare me to death..but i still think i might drop a small chunk on sugar shane...he has the skill set of zab judah(zab had cotto in trouble) but shane has the head and big fight experience to keep the momentum...zab simply is a mental trainwreck who cant sustain momentum in big fights...shane has been there and can...cotto is a savage body puncher though and as it gets into the later rounds could wear mosley down...especially with 14k plus puerto ricans in the building going ape sh1t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cotto fights anything like he did against Judah he will get KO'ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever in debt to mo lewis Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 I'm betting on Mosley. If Cotto fights anything like he did against Judah he will get KO'ed. thats what im sayin....i mean zab coulda ended cotto in the 2nd....scary to think...but you gotta remember how shane reacted when he got cut against vernon forrest...he lost his concentration...and cotto has been known to deform faces....i still like shane though and thats most likely where my money is going..big fight/stage experience...and a better mental capacity to handle it than zab. ..almost scared to be caught rooting for shane that place...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeping King Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 And I like Mosley at even money let alone the +125 I'm getting right now. You should wear a shirt that says. We Still Own Puerto Rico Let me know how that works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Cotto has youth and power, but I like Mosley. Both have nice left hooks, but SSM can counter and put some damage to his right side, where Cotto is usually weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Nothing too thrilling yet on the undercard. Maussa got whooped in the first round and Casamayor is looking washed up against Santa Cruz. I can't see Margarito losing to Golden Johnson either.

budlitebrad Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Casamayor won!? Biggest BS decision I've seen in a LONG time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I can't see Margarito losing to Golden Johnson either. And Johnson goes down in the first round... even though he had such cute gold trunks on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Great fight, but SSM should have won. Cotto was backing off for the last two rounds like Mayweather did against De La Hoya. Weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Completely agree. Judges were scared of getting stabbed. i thought shane won the last 4 rounds...the championship rounds...i thought at the least he should have gotten a draw...as did some friends who were watching it on tv...i dunno if the judges were swayed by the crowd or what...i mean everytime cotto threw more than one punch the crowd would erupt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
