Mulvaney had a nice blog post sounding off on the his thoughts on the bout, stating he believes Cotto was "sold short" by many:

"

"Even among those who gave Cotto credit for his skill and experience, who offered the caveat that against almost any other likely opponent, he would be favored, the Puerto Rican star was given next to no chance...he fought an almost perfect game plan; it's just that on this night, against this man, it wasn't enough."

"

Bryan Armen Graham, Sports Illustrated:

Graham decided to discuss not just the results of the fight, but about how great a villain Money May is for boxing:

"

"No one incites more crowd reaction and real-life animosity than Mayweather (43-0, 26 KOs). The term in the pro wrestling business is "heat" -- cheers for the good guy, boos for a villain -- a sort of absolute value of passion. Or "relevance" as Mayweather has grown fond of calling it."

"

Tim Dahlberg, Huffington Post:

Dahlberg posted a solid article summarizing the happening of the fight while adding a bit of analysis at the same time. The Post writer wrapped up his article by talking a bit about Cotto's flurry in the middle rounds of the fight, stating:

"

"Cotto was relentless, coming forward and hitting Mayweather with good shots to the head. Toward the end of the eighth round he landed several punches to the head, prompting Mayweather to shake his head as if they didn't hurt, but by then Mayweather was bleeding from the nose and looked like he had taken some punishment."

"

There you go, a little insight as to how some boxing journalists around the nation are feeling after witnessing Mayweather hand Cotto the third loss of the 31-year-old's career.
