Cotto will spar with Gennady Golovkin!!!

According to a P.R. newspaper, apparently Cotto will spar with Gennady Golovkin. Heres the article in spanish if someone wants to translate because im at work right now. Big Bear Lake, California.- El ex campeón mundial Miguel Cotto se encuentra en estos momentos en la etapa de preparación física para su combate titular del próximo 1 de diciembre contra Austin Trout en el Madison Square Garden, en Nueva York. Las semanas de preparación en Puerto Rico y el trabajo realizado en la altura de Big Bear ya presentan resultados positivos y el púgil cagüeño se ve en excelente condición física. Durante las poco más de dos horas que duró el entrenamiento matutino de ayer, el ex monarca hizo de todo, siguiendo las instrucciones de su entrenador Pedro Luis Díaz, y la química y complicidad entre ambos es más que evidente. Cotto brincó cuica, guanteo en sombras, con guanteletas con el entrenador en posición de peleador zurdo, abdominales, corrió en trotadora y golpeó el saco en una intensa rutina que iba cambiando de ejercicios según dictaminara Díaz, y en ningún momento dio muestras de cansancio. Por la tarde, realizó una impresionante carrera subiendo una pendiente de cerca de ocho kilómetros en la montaña. “Hizo siete minutos menos que la última vez que vinimos a la montaña hace unos días”, dijo Díaz tan pronto su pupilo llegó a la cima de la montaña para continuar su rutina de ejercicios. Al finalizar la sesión vespertina, el rostro de Cotto aún no daba muestras de cansancio. Lo que sí mostró fue una sonrisa que mostraba la satisfacción de cumplir con su entrenamiento sin problemas. La parte táctica y el trabajo fuerte de guanteo se realizará en el campamento del púgil en Orlando, Florida, adonde se moverá con su equipo el 27 de octubre, explicó el entrenador cubano. Sin embargo, el equipo aprovechará la presencia del campeón mediano Gennady Golovkin, quien se encuentra en esta ciudad en preparación para un combate también en diciembre, para realizar unos guanteos. Si Miguel Cotto ha lucido bien físicamente en sus últimos combates, esta vez Austin Trout tendrá que lidiar con un púgil en excelentes condiciones.

It makes sense for Golovkin to spar with a true pro like Cotto but considering Trout is a tap and evade guy complete opposite of the Kazak must be just for a change of pace from his main partners guess they want Cotto to really focus on his boxing figure it's easier to do when you're put in a shark tank not a fish bowl

Lol @ the sparring session experts. I hope one day Pedro Diaz gets the recognition he deserves.He picked up a lost confused (trainer wise) Cotto.Picked up the shattered pieces and made a more confident fighter who's willing to climb to the top.I'll bet he'll only spar 5 rounds, there's allot of more sparring partners lined up. right on. pedro diaz is a terrific trainer. additionally, these guys are professionals they spar as a part of their living. that's what prepares them for fights. they can handle themselves, and they don't try and kill each other. golovkin will be in with one of the best boxers he's ever shared a ring with. cotto will be in with one of the biggest punchers he's been in there with. cotto is an eventual hall of famer. golovkin is 30 and has been fighting since he was a kid. there's a ton that they can get from sparring each other. they don't try and win rounds when they're sparring at that stage. they work on stuff. great move. golovkin won't kill cotto in the least. they'll spar, trade a few shots, and take a picture when it's done with.

Cotto is not a full fledged jr middleweight, this could be really damaging. Canelo got stunned by GGG in sparring and Angulo was forced to backpedal. Cotto's trainer better be really careful with this. Canelo got hurt by Cotto's brother so that is no big deal.

Not sure what to think of this move. Wouldn't this add some more wear and tear to Cotto's body going into the fight? I think at this stage of his career he has had plenty of that.

By being naturally bigger than Cotto is, I can rationally infer that he is stronger than Cotto at JMW (even now). Remember Alvarez was forced to move up to '54, Cotto could still make 147. Also alvarez already spared with GGG and apparently they both gave each other some good work from the actual sources there. Alvarez is a pretty big dude, there's no doubt he's physically stronger than cotto.

We talking about right now. How has Alvarez clearly shown hes much stronger than Cotto at JMW. ill wait. By being naturally bigger than Cotto is, I can rationally infer that he is stronger than Cotto at JMW (even now). Remember Alvarez was forced to move up to '54, Cotto could still make 147.

Alvarez stronger than Cotto? LOL Based on what? Saul winning against Josesito, and mathew hatton? LOL Alvarez will probably be fighting at Super Middle by the time he's Cotto's age. Are you kidding? Alvarez is clearly naturally bigger and stronger than Cotto.

16 oz gloves head gear and Cotto is no bum, sparring should be good for him. He will be just fine:boxing: Nah, the moment Gennady touches Cotto his chin will literally explode.

This is gonna be a Massacre. If Pac at WW could rearrange Cottos face and drop him with ease just imagine what GGG is gonna do 16 oz gloves head gear and Cotto is no bum, sparring should be good for him. He will be just fine:boxing:

k9, alvarez, trout, kirkland, angulo, are all stronger than cotto. k9, alvarez, kirkland, and angulo are a lot stronger. k9 is probably weaker after a few rounds because of the way he's built up. Especially Alvarez. He's a f*cking tank. I think this sparring will do Cotto a lot of good.

I doubt Trout is stronger than Cotto. From 140-154 there is probably not a single guy that is stronger than Cotto. k9, alvarez, trout, kirkland, angulo, are all stronger than cotto. k9, alvarez, kirkland, and angulo are a lot stronger. k9 is probably weaker after a few rounds because of the way he's built up.

Perhaps to help him adjust to what looks to be an obvious size and strength disadvantage Cotto has, going into the Trout fight I doubt Trout is stronger than Cotto. From 140-154 there is probably not a single guy that is stronger than Cotto.
