One thought on “Floyd Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto LIVE results and play-by-play”
  1. I thought Cotto won 4 rounds tops….most of his punches didn’t land clean at all…crazy thing is…Floyd could have stayed outside and picked him apart(he did so during the fight when he wanted to)…instead he traded with him quite a bit….
