Probably PPV, if Cotto can draw a PPV with Judah, then just imagine Mosely who's kinda ressurecting his career right now. PS Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton is also in the works its also on boxrec and is scheduled for 12/8/07 which is about a month later, from my experience boxrec.com is a pretty reliable source too, its shaping up to be a good end of the year for boxing.

It's on HBO PPV. Cotto's an HBO fighter. This matchup has "Fight of The Year" written all over it. A bit of a toss-upPast wrote:yeah if its HBOalexalonso wrote:i will definitely subscribe to that fight. does anyone know if they broadcast the fights in HD on PPV?
to these eyes but if pressed, I'll go with the speed, guile, and multi-dimensions of Shane over the clinical, brutal, yet
constant pressure of Miguel.

He does!! He's "mega" in NYC, his fight against Zab Judah back in June had MSG sold out,londonpride wrote:Cotto should have strong backing from all the P RICANS in New York.
it was sick.
I feel you Alonso, the HD effect takes it to a whole other level, especially if you have the surround sound with it.

Most def, and make sure to get HDMI cables for your components to further enhance the viewing and listening experience. Dudes may never go outdoors again..alexalonso wrote:go to get the surround sound too.

I'm personally rooting for Mosley just because he's an L.A. area fighter, but I like Cotto's style a lot too if he were fighting anyone else i'd probably rooting for him. If Mosley pulls this one off it'll be real impressive considering NYC is pretty much Cotto's second home with so many Puerto Ricans.

HAHA!! I'll be at the fight, should be a awesome dust up. I've been on the fence sinceoso1 wrote:A true boxing fan huh KING FEAR ? Just messin with youKINGFEAR62 wrote:I always rute for the black guy so I'm rooting for shane and mayweather
this fight was made a few months ago. Now that it's close, I'm leaning towards Mosley.
I'll be rooting for Sugar Shane(been following his career since his reign of terror at lightweight) but will be equally happy if Cotto pulls it off. Gotta like the way this kid
goes about his business(terminator-like, surgical and relentless).
Any predictions??
At 135 lbs, thats right Shane was a Terror, Fast, Explosive and very powerful. I wish he would have fought Maywheather back then. From day one i felt Mosley was / is going to win, Mosley's faster, stronger, has more experience, has a better chin and has fought more skilled fighters than Cotto.ManifestTruth wrote:HAHA!!

I like Miguel too, he's humble, hes been hurt and has been down but came back to win, he has heart. Cotto can punch and has a nice body attack, but his chin is Questionable. And i think Shane is going to test that chin this Saturday.
Mosley will win by tko, just hope there is no controversy.......LOW BLOWS

Mosley is faster, but not much faster than Cotto. Cotto appears to be slower than what he is because he does not dance and bounce around. He moves his body slower, but his punches are very fast. And there is no doubt that although Mosley is faster, Cotto's strength surpasses Mosley's. I had the fight scored 7 rounds to 5, thats 115-113 for Cotto, because there were three rounds near the end that Mosley won, because Cotto decided to play it careful and retreat, but I have never seen a fighter hit so effectively while back stepping.oso1 wrote:At 135 lbs, thats right Shane was a Terror, Fast, Explosive and very powerful.

Mosley is probably the most difficult fighter to KO. There were times where Cotto clearly hurt Mosley, but whenever Cotto scored, it made Mosely more aggressive, nullifying the points Cotto just scored. Since Mosley is such a conditioned fighter I can see him fighting when he is 40, like Bernard Hopkins, but Coto's chin with stood Mosely's power. GREAT FIGHT!
Good fight, Cotto showed a lot of Heart, he managed to recoop after Mosley hurt him, Cotto is lucky that the referee called for a time out to have the canvas wiped down, otherwise i think Mosley would have finished him.
But Honestly i thought Mosley would have hurt Miguel a lot sooner and would have ended this fight.

I just watched it again, Mosely's best rounds were in 9 and 10. I wonder why he waited so late to turn it on. Maybe he sensed he was behind and got active. Yeah, i think Mosely hurt him in that round, but I dont think Mosley was going to knock him out. Cotto took both the 11th and 12th round easily, so he must not have been that hurt.
