Cotto looked very comfortable at 154 and don't ever see him going south of junior-middleweight, not at this stage of his career. This performance, albeit against a slightly feather-fisted Foreman opens up a lot of doors for Cotto. This was technically a confidence-builder, but he, just like the fight itself far exceeded my expectations. Cotto has a bunch of options from here. Dzinziruk would be an interesting matchup of beltholders. I think Cotto would more than hold his own against Cintron or Angulo.

With Margacheato's last fight somewhere in the area of junior middlweight, I'd LOVE for Cotto to take another tune-up fight to set up a Cotto/Margacheato rematch. I think that fight would be a smash PPV, especially considering it'd again be a title fight.

If Arum's plan is to rehabilitate Cotto's career and put him on the path to recovery, then it'd be wise to not pit him in a catchweight ploy to give Manny his 8th title in as many divisions. If we DO SEE that match made, then you know damn well Arum's all about keeping his coin in-house.

That's not already obvious?


And Foreman made a fan out of me, if only for the guts he showed. He'd be a good fighter if he could get some pop behind his punches.

Cotto impressed me. I think Emanuel Stewart did a good job with him. Foreman has balls! I can't believe he continued despite the bad leg. On a side note, my cousin in law's next fight will be televised on Telefutura next friday.

Nice! I'll definitely try to remember and watch that

that fight last night has been more entertaining than some of these UFC PPV's i've seen lately.

Foreman was awesome, it's a shame he doesn't punch more

I know , right.

It's as if nobody wants to get knocked out anymore, so the UFC cats just go to the scorecards or the ground all night.

Apparently Chavez Jr. is training with Roach now... let's see if Freddie can mold him into something decent

so how did it go dude?

Sent some of my t's to Pac's inner circle in So-Cal...



Pac approves of the T!!

Now if I can just get him to rock it and snap a picture of him with it on...that might be a bit harder...or bit more expensive. Stoked nonetheless.

You know what, I've actually got a Buboy design in mind... You've probably noticed the headband he wears occasionally that has a "catering-like" name to it. I'm going to draw something up and have it sent to him and see if he wouldn't mind me pumping out some designs for it. Just for a sneak-peek reference...

It's a cartoonish silhouette of Buboy sideways, a knife in hand, with a silhouette of a pig on all fours in front of him, the font will read "Buboy knows baboy."

He did good. He won a unanimous decision. He kept walking into right hands thou. There were a couple shots that got his attention. I still have a hard time with his trainers. In the last few fights he has regressed. He can't be making the same mistakes like he has if he wants to continue his career. I still trying to get him to come out to the wild card with me.
