Yep, I’m afraid I’m gonna pay $59 to watch Cotto get his ass kicked. He should be far too slow for Mayweather and he will likely get picked apart. On another note, Cotto still has a punchers chance. Mayweather can be rocked, I’ve noticed he has been hurt a little in his last few fights by a seemingly incurious punch.
I used to box in the late seventies to early eighties. I can’t remember and I am far too lazy to look up the boxing records, but I was given ringside seats at one of Bubba Busceme’s fights, and it was either Senior Mayweather, or Uncle Mayweather who was fighting on the undercard. They both looked the same at that time and both had outstanding records. Long story short, he was taken out with one good shot.
I keep hoping the same for Floyd Jr.!
If you have a few minutes to kill, check out this Youtube video of Beaumont’s Bubba Busceme against Alexis Arguello. Bubba was truly one talented boxer and was actually getting to one of boxing’s greats. I also know for a fact that Bubba had just come down with the flu just a day or so before the fight. He entered the ring running a high fever and had his sinuses blown out by a physician just a couple of hours before the fight. Would it have changed the fight’s outcome, probably not, but what a crappy time to come down with the flu!
