“He Went Back To The Old Cotto”
I'm surprised by Cotto's conditioning, it looked as good as I've ever seen him. He had enough gas in the tank for 12 rounds if needed.
Revenge is a great motivator but will Cotto keep on performing like this again or was that it? He went back to the old Cotto, the one before round 6 of the first fight with Margarito. I was glad to see Cotto show his true self in that ring. I hope he does it again. —TSS reader Maromero was impressed with Cotto's energy in the Dec. 3 rematch with Margarito, wonders if he will be as effective next time without the revenge angle
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
