Shitty song/good knock outs.
I hate Hamels and the phillies but I dig that he plunked the rookie phenom just because he’s a rookie phenom… And justified it by trying to keep it “old school”. That being said its badass how Harper got the last word and stole home on him. Baseball is a strange game and I love it.
Miguel Cotto held his own last night an was more competitive the any other Floyd Mayweather opponent up until this point and still lost a unanimous decision. The conspiracy theorists will say Floyd allowed cotto to hit him a few times flush to make the fight a bit more entertaining and to maybe entice Manny Pacquiao into believing that Floyd is actually beatable and finally signing a contract to fight but that is ridiculous. This fight did show me that Pacquiao may me more competitive if they were ever to fight then I originally thought. Pacquiao is a high volume puncher, pressure fighter, and Cotto had some success against Floyd last night fighting that sort of fight. I still think if they ever fight Floyd beats Pacquiao by a wide unanimous decision.
Mayweather Jr. Weighs in at 151 (the heaviest of his career.
Cotto weights in at 154.
I’m sticking to my Mayweather by unanimous decision prediction although I am hoping that I am wrong. At the least I hope Cotto can make things interesting and make a fight of it.

I’m looking forward to Miguel Cotto vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Showdown this Saturday night. I don’t see Cotto winning more then a round or two which is a bummer because I’m really not a fan of Mayweather’s however it is entertaining to see a master of his craft figure out his opponent early and then completely dominate him which is what I expect will happen Saturday night. I am hoping that Mayweather does get his chin tested at least once in this fight. Shane Mosley was able to wobble Mayweather in the second roun of their fight, however was not able to follow up. If Cotto hurt Mayweather he has the ability to follow up and that would be interesting. That happening however, is a big “if” against the defensive genius that is Mayweather.
