Cotto won easy for me. I'm black, I like Shane (not a hugger though), but he lost bad. The man was hella confused on what to do throughout the fight and was consistently being beat to the punch thwarting any momentum he kept managing. When he saw the bout getting away from him, he did the natural thing and made a fight of it, but there was no plan for Miguel by him and his dad. They clearly went in there thinking they were going to knock him out after seeing Judah bother him early imo.
In fact, look at Shane's face in the corner at the end of round 5. He's spent almost the first half of the bout trying to put Cotto's lights out and he's already behind. Not really any combinations going on. The expression on his face says it all... he can't believe that he's in a real fight. Cotto wasn't supposed to be that good. For the first time during round 6 he switches gears and tries to box instead..
it was crazy stuff watching what appeared to be a 0 plan from the Mosley camp.

what do you think? Maybe he respected Cottos boxing skills more that Margaritos??

Cotto has better boxing skills than Margarito and also kept that snapping jab out there, throwing it at the right times, and throwing those quick short shots as well. Mosley saw more of Margarito's wide shots coming and was able to avoid them. Mosley's better in a slugfest than a boxing match.
with that being said....do you think he could outbox Mayweather? or would he be better off baiting him in a slug fest?
