Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Punishes Yuri Foreman, Captures WBA Title

****** about the knee for foreman but cotto was beating him when he could use his legs anyway

cotto's back!

That's a bit optimistic IMO. As bad as Foreman's knee appeared to be after the first fall, the dude had no business lasting another 30 seconds with a top level fighter. I wasn't impressed with Cotto. He can beat guys like Foreman, perhaps, but Sergio Martinez or PWill will embarass him. Cotto's not shot, but he is not world class anymore, especially not at this weight.

Good fight!! give props for both fighters, Yuri got heart and Cotto started good in this division. Emanuel started fixing some of Cotto's bad habits, specially the footwork, and I hope he is not done with him either. Even thou he did good, I still think he should get a couple more fights @ 147, he is not really a 154 pounder....JMO

Cotto looked great.

Cotto deserves the W.He's back.I think he should fight Manny again @ 154.With Steward on his side it will be a much competitive fight this time.Gayweather is too scared to fight Manny. Cotto VS Pacman II

Gotta agree with you there about Cotto. I don't know if it was because of his opponent, but his style has drastically changed. Cotto is not as active and doesn't throw his punches with enough conviction like he used to.

I'm very glad he won, but let's see how he does against another big name at this point.

why was this fight a title fight when it was cotto's first at 154lbs?

Because Yuri Foreman was a champion.

gratz to MCotto in the elite of PR now and this coming from a Mexican! I hope everyone in the isla bonita proud of this man he aint never ducked nobody.

Wow thanks a lot for the update.. I looking forward for the Cotto vs Foreman replay here

[Caxcan]

cotto looked great and comfortable at 154, he wasnt forced to weight drain at some bs catchweight

[WESS]

Called this fight, but Yuri is the man. True warrior with heart. Still all credit to Cotto and Emanuel Steward! Great plan and loved to see the so called "old" Cotto back.

Get Marg-a-cheato in the ring with no plaster at 154 with Cotto and plan of attack from Steward in Dallas and we will have us a WAR!!!!
