after watching the fight ,my comiserations go out to jennings,who i thought put on a very brave performance agaist arguabily the best welter in the world,he showed real heart in getting up after those knockdowns and if the ref didnt stop it he would have carried on showing real heart,so back to the drawing bord for old mickey

I lost money on it but im not that bothered and it was a hopeful bet anyway.Micheal did himself proud.He was hurt and showed a lot of heart,a lot of fighters would have stayed on thier stools at the start of the last round.Mikey came out and had one last go at Cotto instead.He was just beaten by a far better fighter.I hope he enjoyed the expierence of fighting at the garden as much as he could.

All anybody can ask for is that a boxer give a 100% and try.Jennings tried as hard as he could.He shouldn't be ashamed as he lost to the best welterweight in the world.

Yeah respect to the guy, after the 4th he knew he was just going to be hurt, but he had a go anyway. Brave man.

Like I said he would make us proud if he had a go and that is what he did, unlike another British fighter...
...Anyway well done to Jennings it was a once in a lifetime experience and I am sure he got some decent money and some more meaningful fights in the future domestically should appear, instead of the WBU nonsense.

If he had bottled it he would have been out a lot quicker than he was, he seemed to have decent composure moving around the ring using the jab in the first three rounds.

It was perfect tactics but unfortunately Cotto was just too much for him. No shame in losing to the better man. The fight went exactly how I thought it would, only Cottos pressure got to Jennings a little earlier then I thought it would.

I felt Cotto got to him quite early because Jennings felt he was getting some success with the right hand in the 4th round and started to go in with the punches more, which resulted in him getting tagged by Cotto who caught him coming in.

I wouldnt go as far as to say he bottled it but to me the mere fact that he didnt quit doesnt show true guts and heart.......REAL guts is when a fighter is actually trying to win,which jennings wasnt he was just trying to survive......had he actually got stuck in and had a go and lost without quitting you could say he showed heart and guts but just trying to keep out the way without really giving it a go i dont think shows much guts whatsoever.

So what would you have him do? He was up against a bigger man who was stronger, was a bigger puncher and, most importantly, technically better.
He had one chance to win and that was to keep the fight at distance but Cotto didn't allow him to to take. Game over.

Jennings looked terrified from the start....tactically he probably fought the right fight to begin with but within 2 rounds it was quite clear those tactics were never going to work....did he then change those tactics ? no....did he throw caution to the wind and try and get him out of their while he still had the freshness ? no....he settled for not quitting but not actually trying to win....thats not guts in my book......a real game man thinks he is winning even when he is losing and will try to win no matter what....and that wasnt jennings....personally i think he had a good opportunity which most dont get....but didnt make the most of it technically inferior,physically smaller or not.

You are entitled to your opinion but to say that Jennings should have (or could have) done more probably shows what you know about boxing.
I may have 10k posts (and 4 years!:p;)) on this forum but I''m not a gobshite who hides behind a keyboard and gives other posters shit for expressing an opinion or critizises boxers when they've done the best they can possibly do but you are way out of line on this matter IMHO.

When Colin Jones fought Don Curry who was the best Welterweight in the World in that day, Curry outgunned Colin but he couldnt put Colin down. He bust Colins nose but he was cautious and Colin let fly with some wild shots in the 4th round to try and take Currys head off his shoulders because he knew the doctor was about to step in and stop the fight. Colin said in the post fight interview he could have taken Currys punches all night. the only man who floored Colin was Milton McCory and Kirkland Laing made him touch down from body shots. Apart from that the only other time I heard of Colin getting dropped was when he was a teenager a local lad another ginger headed guy apparantly, dropped him in sparring at the shed behind my garden !!!

I was impressed with his jab and heart, but his post-fight quote "At the end of the day, he's caught me with a good body shot, simple as that. I wasn't getting smashed," is selling Cotto a bit short.

02-22-2009, 06:41 PM
I think he did well considering...
Whoever said he wasjust trying to survive is talking shit...
The first 2/3 rounds he fought a good fight tactically, using his jab and trying to keep the distance...
Whoever said he didn't try an change his tactics after this is wrong imo...he started to bring his right hand into the equation and caught Cotto a few times with some good shots, this led to him getting caught by the big left hook which led to th barrage to the head and body and effectiely ended the fight...
If he was only trying to survive he wouldn't have tried to hit Cotto with the right hand more often...he'd have been content to let the fight go as it was...Cotto's pressure would've got him eventually but if he hadn't started trying to hit Cotto with the right and left himself open to the left hook then he'd have "survived" a bit longer...
He did his best...but Cotto is not only arguably the best welterweight out there but also will be p4p top 3 in the not too distant future imo...
Cotto was just a different class literally...
Good luck to Jennings...he should get the british title back and then build up from there imo...the experience will have done him good...he could probably have lasted a while longer but he would only have taken a savage beating that would have destroyed his career imo...

I'm quite surprised by some of the criticism. I can only imagine it is coming from people who don't watch much boxing and don't really have much of an understanding of the sport. I find it hard to find fault with Jennings' performance on saturday myself. The important thing to remember is the difference in class between him and Cotto which was apparent. I thought Jennings gave it his best shot and did all he could. He showed a lot of courage to come out like he did in the 5th after obviously being hurt in the 4th.
Cotto was immensely impressive I thought. There was something very cold and clinical about the way stalked Jennings and eventually took his man out. He looks to have gotten over the Margarito loss. I hope we get to see a Cotto/Mosely rematch now.

Not many people thought Michael would win but he has a moral victory. I am not ashamed to put my hands up and admit that I thought he'd be ko'd within the first couple of minutes or at best sometime during round 2.
He turned up, tried his best and gave an honest fight. Afterwards he had nothing but compliments for Miguel Cotto. Many would have turned up just for the money (Hello Mr Lockett) and had many excuses afterwards.
Michael Jennings is a credit to boxing and is a gentleman.

Just this second finished watching the fight. Indeed hats off to Jennings. He kept moving well, kept throwing the jabs and occasional hard swings throughout the fight.
Cotto looked and moved like a beast. It was the equivilant of a Pit Bull vs a Jack Russel.
Jennings did as well as he could in my eyes. If anything the ref stopped it a little early.
I wasn't proud of lockett when he fought Pavlik, but im proud of jennings and the fights were very comparable in terms of class difference between fighters.
Hatton should never get in the ring with cotto.:deal
There is a school of thought that says that Ricky Hatton walking forward will be Cotto's nightmare. Nonsense. Miguel Cotto will move gracefully as he did against Margarito and make Hatton look as crude. Cotto is a clever fighter who after a bit of silly critisim from those who wanted him to be "more exciting" turned from slick boxer to boxer-puncher. Now, as he admitted himself, he has "gone back to the old Miguel". A thoughtful, slick boxer who is patient and one of the most beautiful boxers to watch in the world.

Someone like Paul Williams would havea strong chance of beating him legitmately. Personally i'd like to see him pound the shit out Margacheato.

I think any time you get two fighters of a simiilar standard in the ring anything can happen. I honestly believe that both Miguel Cotto and Paul Williams are future ATG and a fight between them would be an exciting one and 50/50 at 147.
With regards to Margarito I'd like to see Paul Williams and Miguel Cotto get in the ring with him again. I look back at the Margarito vs Williams fight and remember Williams getting off to a great start, possibly winning the first 6 rounds if not 5 of the first 6 and Margarito winning the next 5 to get back into the fight. Something tells me, with hindsight after the "loaded gloves" incident, that there was also something wrong with that fight as well and Williams deserves a lot of praise for winning the 12th round.

I thought Jennings put up a good show, he didn't look as out of his depth as I thought he might.
I was impressed with his composure, he stuck to his gameplan and looked quite sharp at times. His double and triple jabs worked well, and he definitely seemed to briefly shake Cotto with a good right hand at one point.
He also showed good movement, and tied Cotto up when he had to. He didn't crumble at the first sign of trouble, which puts him ahead of some fighters I could name.....

Jennings gave it a go and did himself proud, unlike the penny-pinching Lockett who quit and ran with the money. I can only hope the property crash has hit the turnip-haeded, self-proclaimed property tycoon hard.
Wobbled Cotto? I wouldn't say so.
Jennings real problem was he wasn't connecting at any rate. He did nothing that would keep Cotto off him. It wasn't a real jab he was throwing but a keep off me jab. He was backpedalling so much he was falling short. He only threw a couple right hands. I suppose he felt he might have been KO'd early if he had of tried, but he may have a little regret as he boards British Airways that he didn't try to get Cotto's attention more.

The only way to get Cotto`s respect would be for him to plant his feet and throw back. Unfortunately for him that could have spelt disaster even quicker. Jennings gets props from me for sure. The kid didnt come to lay down. Masterful peformance from Cotto. I love watching this guy reminds me somewhat of a vintage Mike Tyson in terms of how he stalks his opponents and his peak a boo compact style and build.

Yeah because posting 10 comments a day when you are sat on a computer at work for 8 hours a day is really difficult to achieve and must mean you have no life.:roll:
Talk about a cliche...."Hey you're sad you just post on the net cos u got no life" says the man on the net to another man on the net.
If being on a forum is so pathetic, why register? If it is okay to post 4 times a year and so never know anyone on the forum or ever get into a long discussion, what is the point of bothering?
If someone was on here every weekend night and posting 100 times per day you would have a point, but seeing as most people have a laptop at home and work on a computer by day, your "point" is rather lame.
What exactly are you out there fighting for? What do you believe in that sees you fighting and struggling for day by day?
You make it sound like you are in the French Resistance of WW2 or fighting with Spartacus for your freedom from slavery.

If someone was on here every weekend night and posting 100 times per day you would have a point, but seeing as most people have a laptop at home and work on a computer by day, your "point" is rather lame.
What exactly are you out there fighting for? What do you believe in that sees you fighting and struggling for day by day?
You make it sound like you are in the French Resistance of WW2 or fighting with Spartacus for your freedom from slavery.
No need to explain yourself to me lad you carry on.....personally i use the internet as a last resort to kill time and with a busted leg at the moment it suits to use it and look over a few interests nothing more nothing less.....each to their own we all use the old www for our own needs.....but when you start getting abuse from someone you dont know for not agreeing with another man.....maybe its just a sign of the times or thats just the internet for you i dont know.....
Maybe i take the internet too serious i suppose its not real life is it.....i suppose nobody acts in real life as they do on the net....there bollocks are twice the size on a keyboard for a start !!
Anyway,im out of here i can argue with kids in my own front room....
Jennings did his best but was well out of his league thats clear....in my opinion he didnt show any amazing courage after all said and done he did what you would expect an international class fighter to do he didnt quit.....but that alone does not equate to outstanding guts and courage.

I was abit disappointed with Cotto's performances, he fights like a sedative sometimes.
I wanted him to go proper sick, skitzo from the start.

lol atsome of these posts jennings did well wtf he bottled it - his management team bottled it - & everyone to do with jennings bottled it - if you know cottos stronger then you build on your strength - i would have rather seen jennings stand his ground than to let cotto rule that ring - he had one chance & in my mind he blew it !!

Why didn't they think of that :patsch:patsch:patsch
They'll be kicking themselves reading this.
I get it now, he should have done loads of strength training and stood toe to toe in the middle of the ring and out-strengthed Cotto. It seems obvious now you say it.

You need to kick yourself repeatedly in the head.
You may be able to kick some sense into yourself and hopefully prevent yourself from talking utter nonsense about something that you clearly no very little.

Some of the comments on this thread are a complete joke! Jennings gave it his best shot and had good tactics (keep moving and try and tire out Cotto). Unfortunately he just didn't have the power to earn his respect and stop him coming forward. There's no shame in that, Cotto is still a monster at that weight. I'm sure Jennings will go on to win some good fights at domestic and European level.:thumbsup

I can't believe Jennings didn't use the 3 months in the run up to the fight to develop a Tommy Hearns type right cross and use it to flatten Cotto with..........what a missed opportunity.

:lol:
Or developed Mayweather like reflexes to frustrate and out-point Cotto. He could have gone to the swimming baths more to do this.

I have seen a bit of Jennings and all I would say is that the fight went pretty much like I thought it would. Unfortunately the only chance he hafd was if he could outbox Cotto but like I felt he would not be able to and Cotto would get to him and it would be all over. Is Jennings brave and did he show heart? Yes he did but fighters do so I would not say his efforts were exceptional but yes I take off my hat to him. Deep down I don't think even his team thought he could win

Look jennings didn't do much but just moved alot and when he did try to do something he gets banged to shits until he stop trying, then he was just in survival. But atleast he didn't do a paulie malingnagi and hold on for dear life.
