  • Floyd Mayweather reminded everyone that most of his opponents' tactics don't work once they step into the ring together. And he expects the same with Cotto on Saturday night. For more Mayweather-Cotto coverage, check out mlive.com/mayweather.

      He nose was bleeding like that because he was just getting over a cold prior to the fight. In one of these videos he actually blows his nose and it sounds like he's playing the trumpet. Not making excuses for him but Cotto put up a hell of a fight.

    He was more specifically referring to cuts not a nose bleed. But at the end of the day he still backed up what he said. Cotto got bruised up, cut and had some swelling. Also, most importantly he clearly won.

    True, but a nose bleed can't really lead to a fight getting stopped unless you get a cut near the eye. Not seen alot of Cottos fight but he must have gotten a cut round there? Correct me if I'm wrong :)

  • @DivineYT
    @DivineYT Před 10 lety +1

    The thing is that Floyd was talking about facial cuts and swelling, not getting a bloody nose. Floyd didn't expect to get a bloody nose tho. However, he fought a top notch fighter in Cotto that night who was in great condition.

    After the pounding cotto took in the last round he was bleeding clearly from his nose. Cotto hit harder but never landed as clean as mayweather did, and you cant dispute this because mayweather smiled the whole fight was never hurt t all. cotto on the other hand got buckled and held on to avoid the canvas. Cotto went to the hospital after because they felt he needed examination because he had taken to much punishment. Floyd was good to go to the post conference.

    Regardless of what he says; it's pretty sad we need to even point out that floyd does indeed bleed. It really does speak to how great his defense is if we say 43 fights in "Holy shit he got a bloody nose!". Especially if you look at his record. At least half of his fights were against fighters who either had belts or were specifically battling mayweather for a belt.

    BOTH Manny and Floyd fought quality fighters, just that Mayweather fought most of them at their comfortable weight, and before Manny did. They both dominated the featherweight+lightweight+welterweight divisions and if you question Floyd's career then you might as well question Manny's because their quality of opposition is the same, if not, better for Mayweather. Just accept the fact Mayweather is an all time great and an A+ fighter. I say Floyd wins, you say Manny. End it right there.

    im convince we dd not see the same fight he was bleeding from his nose towards the end. and if u believe cotto landed the harder shots then i dont know what to tell u other then u need help. cottos jabs are strong, but thats all he landed basically, floyd chopping right hands are a punch with more pop behind it then cottos jab, cottos jab would make floyd smile. floyd punches wobbled cotto 3x. big left in the 5th, uppercuts and rights in the 12 had him holding on to floyd to prevent from falling

  • @ajp135212
    @ajp135212 Před 11 lety

    He was hurt against shane but not even close with cotto, he would get hit smile to acknowledge "ok u got me" he rolled all of those punches and did not take many flush power shots,, which cotto did do. the jjudges had the fight 117-111 same score i had, 9 rounds to 3. Cotto never landed anything capable of hurting floyd, he through punches capable of it but never landed them flush enough. manny stweart was right when he said floyd just rolling the punches never gets the full effect of them.

Cotto went to the hospital after meawhile floyd was fine didnt take so much damage. How u can sit there and try to pin the blood against mayweather meanwhile giving cotto a pass for the way he looked is beyond me. at the end of the day it was cotto eating the big shots, it was cotto wobbling around the ring in the end. it was cotto who lost his belt.

    Mayweather let the fight be close for the sake of the fans entertainment.

Mayweather is showing you if you can see, he is fighting every fighter at what they do best and they still cant beat him. So yea the fight looks tougher. Mayweather really stopped pressing the attack in rounds 7-11 to make the fight more entertaining.

    Yeah i can see givng cotto 2-4 rounds anything more or less is bullshit because he without a doubt won round 6 and dominated round 8. I think cotto power bothered floyd a bit because floyd at first was willing to trade letting cotto get him on the ropes, but after round 9 he decided to start moving and it became a boxing lesson cotto landed no more then 20punches in the last 3 rounds. But floyd was not even close to being hurt in this fight. He did the hurting buckling cotto.

    Its pretty clear Cotto didn't go to the press conference because of the bias i the Las Vegas judging [though he did loose, but its crazy to assume by that much].
    Floyd and many other fighters always smile when hurt. Remember Floyd smiling while doing the chicken dance in the Mosley fight? LOL

    Floyd Mayweather silenced LOTS of critics after the Cotto fight - don't like all his antics but can't deny his supremacy in the boxing ring. Hopefully, we get the Pacman fight - both guys are AMAZING and both are dangerous. I see Floyd beating Pacman by UD. Pacman will have to knockout Floyd to win - yes he can knock him out but this has never been done before - only Castillo came close.

    Floyd is lucky Tommy Hearns and other greats from the past aren't campaigning in his weight class right now. You know he'd be coming up with all sorts of conspiracy theories and shit. "How a fighter who is 6'1 weighin' 150 lbs got one punch knockout power? Come on man, Ray Charles could see this shit."

    Cotto bleeds and he doesn't. Was it ketchup on Floyd's nose during their fight?
