Not sure to what extent he bruised it but hopefully he will be ok to fight this summer. Just recently Nonito posted a picture on his facebook wall showing his bruise but he did not tell anybody how he got it. Jokingly he has his fans trying to guess exactly how he got it by asking them. If you want a lot of laughs then you have to read the wall. If we were to take a stab at it, if you look at the background it seems like he is at some sort of Dirt Bike track.…

Emmanuel Stewart on: Cotto vs Mayweather

     I think he definitely needs a good strategy to win the fight. I don’t know what strategy he and his trainers are using. I know in the last fight when he beat Margarito he just simply was really using the same thing he did the first time. He was just out-speeding Margarito because he’s slow.
