(NEW VIDEO): Miguel Cotto Training Camp for Ricardo Mayorga Fight

Steward looks like he could box 10 rounds tomorrow and win

Cotto is gonna look great going forward. Steward has him throwin a variety of combinations, not neglecting his defense not neglecting his right hand. I think he will crush Mayorga and Margarito then who knows.

thought cotto landed the right hand on manny a few times lol....manny likes to snap his head back when the punches land on the mitts

cotto finally becoming a two handed fighter !

His right hand is indeed looking solid. Agreed!:boxing:

i love the that manny got cotto using the right

Cotto looks for form, but I have to agree that I would like to see him busting his balls once in a while. If Emmanuel thinks He's good, and He has trained for decades, then Whom am I to say sht. Karate champions train very similar, they look for form.

Ive heard of other boxers you train at a certain pace which seems slow compared to their actual fights. Maybe thats just how he trains. IM a fan of cotto's so lets hope he knows what hes doing. im sure emanuel has it under control. i also noticed his straight right looked strong

Cotto is looking great and people who say he doesn't train with full intensity are mistaken. Cotto is always ready for fight night and trains just as hard as anyone when the cameras are off.

Love how the straight right is looking. His right hand is indeed looking solid.

war cotto !!!!!

Every fighter goes through very intense routines when they are getting ready for a fight, don't let these videos fool you. Boxing is an intense sport, your ass better be ready for fight night.....:boxing:

You have to understand a few things, a fighter the level of Cotto doesn't allow video taping at all his training sessions. These videos you are watching are nothing but "media day" workouts that happen once every two weeks or so. He's not going to show anything and the real training happens behind closed doors. I think Cotto works as hard as anyone else in the business, you just don't see it. agree 100% on this......

I love Cotto as a fighter, but in training he always seems to go at half pace to me, never seems to train with any intensity. Not that im in the training camps to judge but from the many videos ive seen, he never seems to care too much. Even skipping rope at half pace. When you watch people like Floyd and Manny (the REAL elite), they train like they are about to be eaten by a bear, like their lifes depend on it asif someone was holding a gun to there heads saying 'train hard beyotch!'. Even Floyds skipping seems more intense than cottos Pad work FFS. Now Im a huge fan of Cotto, but I always have that WHAT IF sort of feeling. What if he trained at full pace all the time, would he of had the insane stamina to out last Margo in the fight they had and beat him. Would he of been able to handle Pac a little better if his stamina was on Pacs level? I dunno... jus sayin thats all. What do other Cotto fans think? I dont want to hear from Cotto haters or no one like that. Just Cotto fans. You have to understand a few things, a fighter the level of Cotto doesn't allow video taping at all his training sessions.

Absolutely, everything he does is at a moderate pace. It may have worked for him but maybe he could've been an even greater fighter if he trained with full intensity. Everyone at my gym trains with more intensity than him. Doing pads and heavy bag with his hands down, at a slow pace.....my trainers would be on him all day for that.

Couple of things ya gotta remember. This is a media workout, they're not really going 100%. Also, if you watch, they're working on tactics. Combinations, and most importantly, it's clear that Steward is trying to teach Cotto how to effectively move laterally and roll punches. But that's stuff that's new to him so he's obviously not gonna look like Floyd doing it. Good point....

i love how emanuel steward always act "stunned" when he's doing the pads. does anybody know what's the reason behind this? does it possess a psychological boost to his fighters (to their subconscious mind, that they can hurt their opponents) ? I would think so Cotto can visualize the shots like in a real fight in conjunction with how he's throwing his combos.

Cheers for getting back to me dawg. You have a good point. I'd never say he doesnt train hard enough tbh though, hes always had enough staminer to go 12 rounds so hes clearly training alright. But he just doesnt seem to have that hunger when he trains like the other dudes. Couple of things ya gotta remember. This is a media workout, they're not really going 100%.

He's seemed to have trained like that his whole career. Based on his career and how his fights have gone, I don't think it's affected him in a way where you can say "He didn't train hard enough". I think fighters train the way they train because they know how to take their body to the limit without either over or under training. Pacquiao's pace works for Pac, Cotto's works for Cotto.
