That guy is awesome and means nothing but business. I hope he makes an example out of abdulaev.

Cotto by late round stoppage.

Abulleav looks old as hell.

That is what a cold blooded killer looks like contemplating his next assassination. Angry at the lack of respect post-Corley. he is pissed and ready to annihalate.

He looks to be in good shape and he looks determined. Hopefully he fights at a slower measured pace with this guy.

how is that fat ass makeing 140

give me a break, Cotto looses this one by decision.

so is this new hair style **** some sorta PR fighter mandatory thing?

i can't tell nothing from those pictures except he looks confident.wearing black to look skinny? he was huffin and a puffin in last fight. hope his weight isn't a problem.

abdulaev is a solid puncher. he fought plenty of fast dancing mexican boxers when he was stateside before going over to europe. iv'e seen him twice on fnf a couple years ago and he pulverized them with his fists and headbutts.

i would think abdulaev's style will be a plus for cotto. i want to see what power cotto has. he's not proven to me. hope cotto shows up in shape or is not dyhydrated . mohamed can take a punch and is known for his bodyshots.

so is this new hair style **** some sorta PR fighter mandatory thing?
lol must be

I have lots of faith on cotto, i think he has what it takes to make it big, really big. If he goes like he usually does with a good game pland he will win without problems.

People seem to forget that he is young and he is only going to get better in every fight. He will make easy work of this guy and will eventually rule the division. If he can beat Mayweather i think that would be a close fight.

LMFAO! 19 K.O.'s in 23 fights

Victoriano Sosa was not knocked out since 1996. What happened when he fought Miguel?

Corley was never knocked out his entire career after facing puncher after puncher. What happened when he fought Cotto?

Kelson Pinto was undefeated, and Beat Cotto in the amateurs. What happened when he faced Miguel?

Ray Martinez is one of the most durable prizefighters around. His knockout losses were only due to cuts. What happened when he fought Cotto?

Cotto is arguably one of the hardest punchers in boxing man. I personally think he is right behind Lacy and Corrales as the three hardest hitters overall.

I have a feeling I just lost $5...

oods are 5/1 so I hope I can really win lol

not much to lose, but I think I just lost it LOL!

IMO the script has been written, Hatton the pretender to the throne takes over last week and now the one that people think is heir gets mauled.

I go for Abdullaev in 7

You say he looks like he could make the weight already???

How the hell can you tell from those pics?

God, its not like hes here watching, no need to suck up.

Here is another one.

How you going to bring Sosa into the mix and give Cotto credit for that win. Sosa was a 135 pound fighter. Sosa was a name for sure but Cotto should hardly be given credit against him. I take my hat off to Sosa for getting in the ring with a MUCH bigger man.

Corley wasnt knocked out, so that is weak everybody knows that ending was a fraud.

Corley wasnt knocked out, so that is weak everybody knows that ending was a fraud.

Corley was knocked down 4 times in the fight, and his negative body language showed that he wanted to quit. Hanging on to Corley's loss and acting like it was a robbery is ridiculous, considering he was going to get knocked out right when he got back up.

Sosa was a legitimate threat in the lightweight division, Floyd Mayweather even said so because he went the distance with him. Floyds words were: Sosa is going to take over. He moves up in weight, and challenges the champion.

If you think the 5 lbs weight makes much of a difference: I beg to differ. JLC is a great fighter at 140, and people were skeptical of Corrales making weight in their fight. Look what happened there.

No I dont think the jump from 135 to 140 is that big but it can be damaging to a small fighter such as Sosa. Hell Corrales would get killed in there with the top guys at 140. To top it off while Cotto makes the 140 limit at weigh in time he balloons up a good bit and was visible in that fight.

Corley had taken a knee and showed no signs of being hurt, I am not hanging onto nothing but whatever diluted opinion you have of what was going to happen we will never know because nothing did. Cotto was the only fighter who looked hurt and Corley wasnt hurt and if he was he would have had enough to get up.

EVERYBODY knows that Corley fight was a fraud, hell even Cotto believes so.

So you are discrediting the 3 other legitimate knockdowns? He took a knee on the 4th. I think its Diluted to think that he could have survived the onslaught, when he was outgunned and thorougly outmatched. Like I said, thats hanging on to a strange moral victory for Corley.

Cotto is definitely a good power puncher, anybody trying to deny this is just being silly. Having said that, I have still chosen Abdulaev to defeat him.

Cotto wears the garbage bag I see. Draining himself to make weight. That will take its toll one day. Moving up in weight is inevitable for him, I don't know why he doesn't go ahead and make the move. Oh yeah, because Zab Judah would surely eat him for breakfast. But then again, so would Mayweather.

Cotto has good power and speed, but still lacks the skill needed to beat someone like Mayweather. I do not think he will even beat Abdulaev, though this would be no shame in a loss to this opponent.

At first i picked Cotto to win by decision but i just watched their olympic fight again and i saw that Aby is easy to hit and is vulnerable to body shots.So now my new prediction is Cotto ko4.Cotto will will end it with a shot to the body than he goes back upstairs and puts Aby down. :boxing:

i love the way he goes down in opposition after the corely scare

i said it before and ill say it again.miguel cotto is a ****ing *****.give me 2 years of kronk training i guarantee id ko him inside of one round

Cotto by KO8

cotto is alright, i hope he doesn't end up like Tito.

i can't wait for his shaky knees when he gets rocked! just can't see him taking what he dishes out! might not be in this fight but if he goes against a gatti, hatton, tzoo i can't see him being successful!

What a f'n joke u are.

EVERYBODY knows that Corley fight was a fraud, hell even Cotto believes so.

You dont take a knee for nothin,of course corley was hurt.That was the stupidest fight cotto ever fought, I actually wanted corley to knock cotto out for fighting such a stupid fight,but that was a one time deal.If cotto was really as weak as u make him out to be,corley surely would have knocked him out,but he couldnt.The only "fraud " here was that there was a ****ty ref who seemed to end the fight prematurely,but if u think that the fight would have ended any other way than by corley being KO'ed,your way off.And yes cotto needs to move up in weight,draining himself is only hurting him too,but theres good talent at his current weight,and i wanna see him fight them b4 he does move up,he two fights left tops at that weight.People say its stupid that he goes to a diffrent level opposition after corley,well its because he gets no respect after the corley fight,hows he gonna fight the top opposition?

Disregarding the other knockdowns there was no reason to stop the fight, CORLEY wasnt hurt at the time of the stoppage. YOU CANT DENY THAT!

Mech-I never made Cotto look weak.

I agree with you man

Corley said after the fight that Cotto ain't even close Mayweather or Judahs level

He looks in better condition than b4...Cotto's team hired a nutritionist and he already looks like he can make the 140 pound limit...



looks to be in good shape cotto is one of my favorite fighters but i hope that he knows what it is that the nutritionist is giving him , nutritionist now days are so shady and will give an athlete steroids without them even knowing because of the trust they put in them ..

I agree with you man

No shyt...He just loss to the guy what do you expect him to say?? :rolleyes:

i can't wait for his shaky knees when he gets rocked! just can't see him taking what he dishes out! might not be in this fight but if he goes against a gatti, hatton, tzoo i can't see him being successful!

Funny how similar things were being said in regards to Hatton fighting Zoo and look what happened there.

No shyt...He just loss to the guy what do you expect him to say?? :rolleyes:


Corley had his way with Zab, Floyd, and Miguel. I believe he had it easier with Miguel because it didnt last as long. Corley is one tough cat and people cant forget that.


However, I would like to point out that I respect Cotto and I realize what he is capable (although not a fan) I respect what he has done and is noway in hating on Cotto, I just believe he didnt bring much to the table in the Corley fight and it was a crooked ending.

When Harold Lederman calls one of his favorite fighters fights a "disgrace" certainly that has to mean something. :D

Lederman didn't say that, it was Merchant. And what he said was that the ref's call was a disgrace to boxing. I know Corley is tough, that's why I was enraged with the ref's decision that night only because it the KO seemed inevitable. Corley looked discouraged after getting caught with some body punches. You're entitled to your own thoughts, we just saw the fight differently.

He lost, but he didn't feel like a loser...

Oops typo in my part. I respect your opinion but Corley didnt look phased at the time of the stoppage and was in deeper **** with other fighters.

spinks what the **** are you talking about? Corley had his way with who? Judah and Mayweather both EASILY outboxed him. Were you being sarcastic or something? Corley was a ****ing joke against both Zab and Floyd. Remember that **** where Corley went dodging nothing cause Zab wasn't throwing anything? Then as soon as Zab started throwing punches right after that he landed every single punch, LOL, Corley was trying to be slick but couldn't get by Zab's fast hands.

And Slipx, why are you not responding to me? Scared?

i agree with the refs call in that fight, but if it had of went on chop chop would have ko'd him without a doubt...he already had his **** rattled and you could tell he wasnt fully back, so if he had caught another it would have been over and we wouldnt even be talkin about cotto right now

Perhaps I should have been more clear, but what I meant was that Corley had Zab/Floyd/Cotto all hurt at one point. However, he faile d to capitalize.

Then how you going to agree? Corley wouldnt have KO'D nothing he had Cotto stunned and out for more than a minute and went to the body. Corley is the worst finisher in the game.

Nope. he didint. Especially because his ass was on the canvas 4 times.

What a f'n joke u are.

Thats the funniest **** i ever heard.

I SEE WHAT YOUR SAYING BUT HOPEFULLY HE TAKES IT SLOW & DOESN'T BIGHT OFF MORE THAN HE CAN CHEW. GUYS LIKE VARGAS & DAVID REID CAME UP TOO FAST & LOOK WHERE THEY ARE NOW.

i watched the olympic fight yesterday and while the scoring was dodgy i thought abdulaev won by putting pressure on cotto and forcing him to counter off the back foot which is not his game. if he does that again maybe he can win. but cotto is more experienced now and is near his prime, while abdulaev at 31 could be slightly past his. so i'm going for cotto but it won't be easy for him, and he's obviously expecting a hard fight by the look of his training.

some more photos from last saturday

God, its not like hes here watching, no need to suck up.

I just said he's being working with his weight much better than in his previous fights and that he would do the weight with no problem...He's team also said so in a recent interview...And yes..he plans to move to 147 in the near future..

It's funny, i never liked tito, but theirs something about Cotto that i like. I hope he wins on saturday.

i love the way he goes down in opposition after the corely scare

Man what did you expected? He just lost to the guy...B4 the fight he was like "Man I love the ppl here in PR...I Like this place...After the fight I want to go back"...And then after the fight he said "I tough I could get robbed in the streets of PR but never expected to get rob in the ring..."

Ha Ha Ha that was a good laugh. Cotto would knock you out with one body punch. You could train hard as u want and he could eat doughnuts for two years and he would still knock you out.

Abdullaev is a credible opponent and it had a story to feed to the public and generate interest as Abdulleav is the last man to beat Cotto. I think it is a pretty good matchup, especially since Cotto is still in the early stages of his career and all of the other top 140 fighters aside from Vivian who I though Cotto would be fighting as the other top guys are fighting each other are busy at the moment. Cotto should take a step up after this fight provided he wins.

I have no complaints in which Cotto is being brought up.

I like Abdullaev. I thought he'd be a bigger hit as a pro than he's been.

But, the reason his professional success will not ever match his amateur success is the same reason he won't beat Cotto tomorrow night....

Look at his age. He was a man beating up boys back in the amateurs. He has talent, ability....no doubt. But he beat guys like Cotto in 2000 because he was so much physically stronger, probably at his peak of strength.

Different story now. He is PAST his peak, while Cotto is getting stronger & better.
Of course, there's also/ALWAYS the Cotto size factor, which has definitely worked to his advantage.

This fight will be smoke & mirrors win for Cotto. There will be a phoney air of "revenge" in his win....& will provide HBO, Arum, & his his Puerto Rican fan base with ammunition.
He will be beating a guy whose best days, as a fighter, were when he was wearing a tank-top & headgear.
