Not sure why people thought this was a laughable matchup. Ali is a good fighter. This isn’t Kamegai.

[gilgamesh]

Ali briefly hurt Cotto again in the 4th, but Cotto came back strong and fought his best round of the fight up until now. I thought Cotto eked out that one. Good, competitive fight.

3-1 Ali

[gilgamesh]

Not sure why people thought this was a laughable matchup. Ali is a good fighter. This isn’t Kamegai.

People are too quick to write a guy off after 1 loss these days, and seem to close their minds as to what the fighters are actually bringing to the table.

[lazboy]

This is the brutality of boxing. We have respect and sympathy for Cotto who has a long and successful career and deserves to enjoy a nice retirement yet his opponent needs this win to propel his own career.

[diddy]

Is Ali a Golden Boy fighter ? If so he will get the decision.

[Tanzio]

Rd 5 = good right cotto. Corto coming on here. Right Ali. Ali better combos. Cotto corners and goes bod. Ali comes on Cotto comes back. Close

And it's official...no matter what happens from here win or lose. Miguel Cotto was never in a bad fight

[Ricky_]

Big round for Miguel. Gulf in class starting to show.

[diddy]

Ali is promoted by Golden Boy. These cards are already written. Promotional companies don’t give a crap about sentiment. They care about the next fight. They can give Ali a push going forward All he needs to do is keep the fight close. But he needs to keep it close.
