To be fair, I think Canelo has improved. He's boxing at a higher level now.


Still, it was impressive that he was utterly ineffective against Floyd, he was that sharp

He's come a long way, Canelo now vs Canelo then probably would have fared a bit better but Mayweather disassembled him handily back then.

 

[Mr. Jimmy]

That was very interesting, way to go Canelo!

Press F to pay respects to Cotto

 

[Heysoos]

Had Cotto winning. Isn't the first time they gave Canelo a gift decision.

rofl

 

[Tubie]

Judges went for power only,

Uk announcers all agree the decision is a farce, much closer.

7-5

Power always matters more than jabs, it's been this way since (or since ever?) Trinidad beat DLH.

When the the power is more effective than the volume that's a fair way to judge. People trying to make a controversy out of this of all fights.

You can't be gifted a fight when you won 8 out 12 rounds.

But but but de la hoya the wise says floyd only fought alvarez cause he was inexperienced so that fight doesn't contradict the narrative of floyd ducking fighters

 

[kodecraft]

Man, Cotto is always a sore loser, walking out and shit.

 

[v1lla21]

He drinking that Limon pepino? That's my shit!

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Well I don't follow boxing so much compared to before. Gotta see the tape on that.

It was a great fight.

Well worth catching the tape...word of advice, don't just watch highlights on YT...see the entire fight.

 

[MANGOD]

No it was not.

This could go back and forth but scoring the fight 10-2 is laughable. Enjoy the rest of your evening

RIP Canelo

 

[Syphon Filter]

oh snap canelo down to fight ggg!

 

[ramoisdead]

Canelo vs GGG.

I wanna see this.

 

[Officerrob]

Give me dat Canelo/GGG

 

[Ether_Snake]

No way will he fight GGG after beating Cotto, he'll fight at least two more before giving it a shot.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

People really reaching to find controversy and corruption. You know, sometimes boxing isn't actually rigged. Sometimes the 25 year old just beats the 35 year old.

Not to this absurdly lopsided extent.

 

[loki 16]

Canelo is like Oscar. He fights everyone.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Fair I reckon

The shots Cotto was landing weren't doing anything. And the ones he took had him running

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

haha i fucking love Canelo. "I'll put the gloves on right now and fight GGG"

This fight better fucking happen.

 

[Barbacoatl]

Cotto with dat walk of shame. Jesus dude, get your girl a fucking chaleco or something.

 

[studyguy]

Oh my god

 

[Tater Tot]

Canelo doesn't afraid.

I also think that Canelo won the fight. However I disagree with the judge's scorecards

Man, dont educate them too much up in here.

Paulie Malignaggi knows what's up. Agrees that the score was way too wide.

Very close to most of the judges, hell one of them scored it 11-1.

The way I was scoring, is the way a boxing judge would score it.

RIP Canelo

I got canelo if they fought.

 

[abuC]

I thought Canelo won, but those scores were a little too wide.

 

[_illmatic_]

What did Canelo say in the post fight interview?

 

[theignoramus]

Canelos defense tonight was pretty decent....against an opponent with superior hand speed too. Cotto threw plenty of combos that hit nothing but air.

Good night of boxing, I Should be announcing my next fight Tuesday.

If he wants to fight I'll put on the gloves right now.

 

[Barbacoatl]

Btw, I'm the biggest dick to my gf right now hahhah. Payday bich!

*bich is her actual last name, facebook gives her shit all the time.

 

[RootCause]

Had Canelo winning. He's improved a lot since Mayweather. Much respect to Cotto, dude took punches from a guy that had more than 15 pounds on him.

 

[Officerrob]

What did Canelo say in the post fight interview?

That he would fight GGG right now. I'll believe that fight happens when I see it

Dave Moretti scored it as a farce, not rigged, just incompetent judges.

But deserved winner in the end.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

I thought Canelo won but LOL at the judges.

 

[RGVNOE]

I think canelo misunderstood the question, and that guy is awful at translating also, it sounded like he was answering as if they asked about a rematch. I could be wrong, but that's how i kinda heard it

 

[smurfx]

What did Canelo say in the post fight interview?

that he isn't afraid of anybody and will fight golovkin.

 

[Anduron]

Second time I've watched a Canelo fight, looks pretty good. But just watched some GGG highlights, holy crap... Is Canelo known for having a good chin?

No one cares, Danny.

 

[Hands of Stone]

Finally Golovkin will get his chance and become the MW champ cause lord knows Cotto would never have fought him.

 

[Syphon Filter]

I thought Canelo won but LOL at the judges.

What's wrong? It was fairly domination from canelo.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Great fight. I really thought someone was gonna get knocked out the last round.

 

[kodecraft]

Nobody gonna talk about Cotto sore loser @$$ walking out?

 

[BadAss2961]

I haven't seen him hurt yet, but it doesn't really mater how good your chin is. GGG will hurt you.

Cotto did a lot better than I thought he would. I was expecting much closer scores.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Read this very thread.

The one judge had 119-110.
