Wow, I miss this kind of fights and telecasts...I really do. The audio from the corners and referee, the poetry blow by blow of Jim Lampley combined with complementary poetry analysis of Larry Merchant plus the savviness of Manny Stewart. All this is gone as gone are the latest superstars that created this kind of buzz and drama inside the ring, followed everywhere they went just like Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquiao, DLH, Marquez, Morales, Barrera, Hatton amount others like them.

Do you also feel that nostalgia from time to time?

I was ringside this night i got tickets as a present for winning the golden gloves. This was a good fight. U could hear cottos body shots echo in the garden.

At 2:48 you can hear Manny Stewart’s greatness as a trainer and commentator. He talks about Cotto needing to be careful when he steps in and how Juda might take advantage of it cause Juda is fresh. Then watch what happens. RIP Manny Stewart.

Was in the Manhattan recently with the family for a Broadway show. Hit up a local pizza place afterwards for dinner. Very nice gentleman struck up a conversation with us. Turns out it was Arthur Mercante Jr. Told him for me, this was the most memorable fight he refereed.

I miss Box so much. I was just old enough at that time to, fall in love with HBO's announcers, the great boxers etc. Its a shame what its come to

The night Cotto arrived as a boxer. Amazing fight.

Man when Zab cut loose and put combos together his hands were fast and nasty! I really think he could have been better than he ended up being. I literally followed his entire career almost always rooting for him, and saw his Dad begging, pleading, commanding for him to THROW COMBOS! When he did, he had success. Joel was CONSTANTLY between rounds driving that point home. Almost every round of his life that was aired on TV anyway.

I wish I could watch every fight in the quality! Just awesome quality bro

Always been a Cotton and Trinidad fan. Cotton was just relentless. Refusing to lose. True heart of a Puerto Rican champion.

Zab is a very under appreciated fighter & people need to put more respect on his name because he was courageous fighter who never backed down 🥊

[aceman]

Cotto not only has the heart ❤️ of a lion 🦁, but he also has an underrated chin, because wow, he took some big shots and didn’t some coming fwd!
