I just read a report in El Nuevo Dia (PR newspaper) where they say that Cotto is only training as a southpaw for this fight and will fight Chop-Chop as a southpaw (his natural stance before being converted in the amateurs). They expect this to be the easiest way for Cotto to administer his left hand, now in the form of a cross instead of a hook, to make Corley feel his power.

Will it work? I'm anxious to find out!

Edit: He is also training with only southpaws and Jr. Middleweights at that. I think this is a very positive thing for him and should allow him to assimilate Chop-Chop's power with ease.

whoa. cant wait to see this either. Oh, this bout should rebroadcast the Pacquio-Morales fight before the Cotto one right?

a latino south-paw, thats like a fuqqen novelty. who was the last one to successfully fight that way?

i know that cotto fights both ways, but really, who was the last great latino southpaw?

Wow this is odd news. I'm anxious to see how it'll work out for him. He's been rolling with his conventional style but if he's able to switch it up successfully it really says a lot about his versatility. Chop's not one to play around with.

Hector "Macho" Camacho

Anywho...
Cotto isn't going to look impressive as a southpaw against Chop Chop, unless of course Corley doesn't know how to fight southpaws well.

Very interesting if it turns out to be true. Cotto would have to be very disciplined if he is to mantain the southpaw stance the whole fight.

Yup, ol' Camacho.

Well, Chop did lose against Zab (a southpaw).

That was a close fight. Probably Corley's best performance in a losing effort if you compare it to the Mayweather fight..

He's gonna KO Corley with that monstrous left hook!

If he's doing this then he must think Chop is a joke. You dont do stuff like this against someone you respect. Maybe Cotto figures that when he fights the Elite he can keep them off balance by switching styles or he thinks someone like Floyd will have problems with southpaws. Either way I think it's a mistake. Why change what you have been so good at

So, you're saying he shouldn't try and be a better fighter by working both sides? I think it's a brilliant idea because it throws other fighters off not knowing how he is going to fight them.

"If he doing this then he must think Chop is a Joke"...WTF!

I think he can pull it off and why can't he. He's got power in both fists and that left will come through unnoticed. He's very technically sound, great balance and looks very disciplined. Shouldn't be a problem for him.

You guys just act like switching stances is a piece of cake. He wont be as good as a southpaw. This is so stupid. He said he wants to fight Chop so he can get some experience with a southpaw but then he is also going to fight sowthpaw. That is so stupid. That netuarlizes the whole point. If he wants to fight southpaw then he should do it against a right hand fighter

I wouldn't be suprised if during the course of the fight he says, "**** this lefty ****." and switch back orthodox...only to get dropped by a big left from Chop Chop..


Disregard the last thing I said..

Cotto will be to much for Chop Chop i think but crazier things have happened.

"If he doing this then he must think Chop is a Joke"...WTF!
I dont get this post and whatz up wit that pic? Mr. serious Cotto looks like a kid who just saw Santa

He is a natural southpaw that was turned around to orthodox during his amateur career. He's just going back to what he does naturally.

This is a good idea IN THEORY....switching to your left to neutralize your opponent's southpaw stance.
But, he'll do so at the expense of being at his best.

Cotto's left HOOK, to the body & head, is his bread & butter.

Cotto doesn't need to neutralize Corley, he needs to knock the crap out of him.

That would be pretty funny if Corley could switch up too..

That would be pretty funny if Corley could switch up too..


Well, he cross-dresses...if that means anything.

Yeah, I heard Sharmba Mitchell use to make fun of him, because he likes to wear Victoria Secret Lingerie.

Corley didn't wear Victoria's Secret.
Everyone knows a REAL MAN makes his own lingerie. lol.

Did Corley have the feet to be fleetfooted? :D

hahhhahhahahaha

haha, thats true as ****, cotto looks like he just got his favorite Tonka toy.

but DLT, you didn't know? cotto is a natural lefty, and he's switched up a whole lot in his prior fights.

this'll be no problem for him, not because we're on his nuts, more because most of us think that this fight isn't really that equal, steve kim put it best in TNR .... "cotto's just fighting the prior performances of judah and fmj"

everyone who can tell talent knows that cotto'll have no problem w/ chop chop. trust me, being from DC ... all DC fighters are GARBAGE.

KO cotto mid fight, homes.

Did Corley have the feet to be fleetfooted? :D

Lol.........

Did Corley have the feet to be fleetfooted? :D

i wanna laugh too ... what's the story behind this? no es understanding, esse.

I hope he fights Tszyu as a southpaw too

I hope he fights Tszyu as a southpaw too
He's not stupid. Southpaws get clobbered against Tszyu (Judah and Mitchell) while righties give him problems (Urkal and Phillips).

He's not stupid. Southpaws get clobbered against Tszyu (Judah and Mitchell) while righties give him problems (Urkal and Phillips).

Yeah, I think he was trying to say that he hopes Tszyu clobbers Cotto..

"Cotto is not Tito.."

Exactly, and what does that "Cotto is not Tito.." have to do with anything?

Well, I from near that area too and I disagree. Chop is much better then you think and this wont be a easy fight for Cotto.

He is a natural southpaw that was turned around to orthodox during his amateur career. He's just going back to what he does naturally.
It is still defeating the purpose of fighting a southpaw. If he was going to do this then he shouldve tried it first on a right hand fighter and he wasnt all that great in the amateur's so why are you all trying to make it sound like this is a good thing. He was a good fighter but not anything spectacular in the amateur's like most stars are

Well, I from near that area too and I disagree. Chop is much better then you think and this wont be a easy fight for Cotto.

if you're from near this area ... how the fuqq can you disagree w/ the fact that DC area fighters are garbage, b level fithers at best. yeah, thats right fithers, mf'ers!! haha

joppy - ****in' got blasted out like a ***** by tito
mitchell - one excuse after another
holmes - went out like a ***** that didn't wanna fight w/ bhop
ding a ling man - still hasn't made it big time

2 sharp - is the only note worthy one, just can't take the ghetto outta this mf'er

didn't mention rahman, cuz honestly, i can give a **** less about the heavyweight division, thats why i never post in any of those threads.

in summary, rooting for a DC fighter, is like being a dolphins fan. i'm both.

Yeah..that's true about DC fighters. Joppy and Chop Chop are probably the best so far. A few months ago some guy was wasting his time trying to get me to join the Marine Corps, and we ended up talking about boxing. He said he use to fight in the amateurs and he knew guys like Chop Chop, Vargas, Joppy, and Holmes.

Whats wrong with being a b level fighter. You act like every boxer in the world is #4#. It's hard to be the best. Joppy, Mitchell, Holmes, and Corley have had great careers and are nothing to be ashamed about. All the experts will tell you that DC is a great fighting scene. Winky Wright is also from here. Teddy Reid, Clarence Vinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mark Too Sharp Johnson, Riddick Bowe and many others. Your a clown if you think that DC doesnt have good fighters

r u serious? it's hard to be the best? OMG, i never thought of that .... u're a funny dude. the same teddy reid that got blasted by tackie and cintron? the same vinson who was touted in the amateurs and then to get *****ed on national TV by heriberto ruiz who then got popped by marquez. corley? you mean the guy who came in at like a 20-1 underdog agains't DLH and got stretched in 6 or 7 rounds? that guy?? winky???? that mf'er hasn't lived in DC for like 20 mf'in years, he reps florida and nothin' but florida. c'mon dude, you're a fuqqen clown for assuming that i suggested this isn't a good "fight scene" - thats not the problem - what i meant, and read carefully you debating *****, is that there's not a DOMINANT CHAMP who can be RESPECTED from the DC area, cuz that DC thug **** just doesn't work in the end. and i mentioned 2 sharp already, esse, like i said ... just can't take the club outta that cat. i've seen him atleast 3-4 times at Dream in DC TWISTED when hes supposed to be in training camp.

i'll give you your due on the other 2, but they, leonard and bowe, were before my time.

you should come out to one of the gyms, too fierce on colorado ave to see if your bark is as big as your bite. you don't gotta sign up for membership cuz i know most of them dudes, hopefully, u're about 180ish and if you are, we could go at it cuz i don't like you, you ***** 2 much, like a girl. show you how to talk to a cat who lives up the street from you.

Not that great? He was 95-23 and was a four-time Puerto Rican national champion. Also, he lost to Abdulev (a very controversial loss) who ended up winning the Gold in the Olympics. I think he was a very good amateur.

Cotto should be able to beat Corley without going into southpaw stance. Cotto will try it but will find out that he's much more effective in the orthodox stance. Cotto should KO Corley under 10.

You internet thug *****. You aint **** *****. No, Im not 180, Im 225 pounds of solid rock. You couldnt do nothing for me but be my *****. If you want to be a internet thug then talk to someone that you might scare clown

DLT and Baya, if you guys fight i'd like to see a tape.

doesnt matter if cotto fights southpaw... i'll still say that he wins by decision....

DLT and Baya, if you guys fight i'd like to see a tape.


LOL.I wana see that **** too!

DLT and Baya, if you guys fight i'd like to see a tape.
That dude is a clown. First time somebody says something that he doesnt agree with he starts cussing and calling names. Then he talks about people as being ghetto. Stay the **** out the gym if you dont like what you see. Girl ass. He's a littile boy and a sellout. You know he's a littile boy if he says that Bowe and Leonard were before his time. How old are you anyway, 12. Stay your sweet ass off the sugar

Your reply is a little bit mixed, are you saying i'm 12? :confused:

I've had some beef with baya myself, if i remember correctly we joked about us having a fight. Mainly about me having to lose about 80lbs by chopping my leg off to make supermiddle or something like that :D

To cut a long story short baya's an *******!! BUT thats the reason i like him, he's a cool *******. :cool:

stop with the weak softcore flames. lol good entertainment, but weak. as the evil black guy on "The Rock" said, "I don't like soft ass ****!"

You are both act'in like a lil' ***** right now.I'll illustrate.

If you dont like it then stay your clown ass out of it. There has been alot of talkin on these boards but the people who arent involved in it, stay out of it. Im sure you have been in some arguments or will be

You internet thug *****. You aint **** *****. No, Im not 180, Im 225 pounds of solid rock. You couldnt do nothing for me but be my *****. If you want to be a internet thug then talk to someone that you might scare clown

225 lbs of pink is what you are *****, still though, you're right around the corner why not man the fuqq up and just come out to fierce. i'm not being an internet thug you stupid **** i'd just like to pitter pat your big ass in a ring and get you all flustered and start putting some heat on you. nothing thug about that dude, or is there? man on man competition bruh, thats all i'm sayin.

you may be big, but you convey yourself as a wining ***** on these boards, i see you couldn't address my entire post, facts are facts esse. now shut the **** up.

u're scary dude, you're one bi-polar mf'er. i started cussing? i started calling names?? you called me a clown you forgetful *****, i never ONCE disrespected you. you tried to talk me down w/ DC boxing knowledge but i bashed you, homes. you started and since you called me names, and you say you're from around here .... no i'm SO NOT trying to be a thug but if you're on this board, you've probably thrown your hands once or twice so i thought that i can get in the ring w/ you and after i pepper you up i could even buy you a bottle of vitamin water.

this is ALL friendly banter, but i'm dead-ass serious on getting in the ring. i can even give you my # so we can hook up, and again, i'm not on any thug ****. thats not me, i just like to fight - prboxingfan's from DC and he knows me and although hes never seen me fight, i'm sure he'd let you know that i'm dead on serious about this meet. i pride myself on knowing more about this DC area in boxing more than any other poster on this board, so you coming here and calling me a "clown" in reference to my DC boxing intelligence, was no good.

no **** .... you should act like more a man and stay out of conversations that don't concern you, bruh.

can we have some quotes please..

cause it sounds more like training FOR a southpaw not
training AS a southpaw.

if hes really doing that he better pull it off.

or assclown cotto will be chanted from the crowd :D

if he's a natrual southpaw then the switch shouldnt pose him any technical problems, and he should already know how to take advantage of being a southpaw, however generally switching is only a good idea to take someone by surprise, and he's just announced it to the press, so he aint gonna catch no one off guard when he comes out as a southpaw

No dude, you came at me wrong first. Read your first post in response to the original thread

Ok, does it matter who started it? I still want to show up at the gym with a video camera and record your 4-rounder. Should we make it 2 or 3 minute rounds?

It doesn't matter if he fights left handed, right handed, or handcuffed, he's not losing this fight. He's a natural southpaw.

225 lbs of pink is what you are *****, still though, you're right around the corner why not man the fuqq up and just come out to fierce. i'm not being an internet thug you stupid **** i'd just like to pitter pat your big ass in a ring and get you all flustered and start putting some heat on you. nothing thug about that dude, or is there? man on man competition bruh, thats all i'm sayin.

I didnt respond to the rest of your post because it was late, I was tired, and we had been going at it for a long time. I still right now dont feel like responding to the rest of it but I dont agree with you.

By the way, I am not from DC, I am from PG and I have never been in a ring or a gym in my life but I have done alot of fighting on the streets, at partys, and at Go Go's

What the hell is a Go Go? Just curious.

What the hell is a Go Go? Just curious.
Go Go is a type of music we listen to hear in this area and we have alot of local bands who do this type of music and when they perform alot of people go to that club. It is kind of similar to crunk musis but you probally dont know what that is either. Anyways, the girls dance real freaky and the guys half the time dance with the girls and the other half they are trying to ruff up the other guys by throwing elbows and ****. There is always a fight and most of the time there is some shooting outside in the parking lot. I dont go to them anymore because I have grew out of it and I used to dance all the time but I stopped doing that also so it wasnt fun anymore anyway

Ok, does it matter who started it? I still want to show up at the gym with a video camera and record your 4-rounder. Should we make it 2 or 3 minute rounds?

looks like you get no fight, ****, i've never taken you out to fierce, cuando quiere' ir?

you condescending bastard .... "but you probably don't know what that is either" ... how r u just gonna assume .... LOL - funny, but thats prolly what set me off. but anyway - to the original poster - if you get the new Lil' Jon album there a track called aww skeet skeet and thats Go Go on a bigger stage. its fun ass music when done by the right band. a lotta you don't know this, but sharmba's the front man for his own Go Go band.

Are you Puerto Rican?

to jose's great regret, yes.

to jose's great regret, yes.
I cant even remeber hardly ever seeing any PR's in DC. Are you from there or Northern VA. You probally are from NW though
