Can Cotto use his left hook effectively against Sergio

It's unlikely. The punch that has worked most effectively against Martinez is the straight right hand. Left hooks rarely land against Martinez. That's one of the things Cotto's got going against him in this fight. He doesn't have a good right hand.

You dont think he's past prime? :|.. Dude can barely walk. His latest training vids paint a different picture - he looks Maravilla to me

Nope, when Cotto wins its because Sergio is "past prime" even though he's only lost 1 fight in the past 14 years. You dont think he's past prime? :|.. Dude can barely walk.

Against Sergio's reach, footwork and quickness? Good ****ing luck lol. No seriously, Cotto needs a miracle to win this fight. Nope, when Cotto wins its because Sergio is "past prime" even though he's only lost 1 fight in the past 14 years.

Enjoy the fight homie i'm not sure how much enjoyment i'd get out of watching poor cotto die trying to win a MW championship :lol1: on a serious note, i'd take a long break from boxing. cotto was one of my guys when i was growing up.

this fight is really a question of how much sergio's legs have left. i don't know the answer. i know they're a fraction of what they used to be. if sergio can't move all night, cotto will time the left hook and the jab. he timed floyd mayweather, he can do it with martinez when he's in range. if martinez has the legs to land from the outside and stay out of range, he will beat cotto. think austin trout.

All I know is Cotto is going to become the very first Puerto Rican World Champion with 4 World Titles or he's going to DIE TRYING.. :439: PRPP:boxing: Enjoy the fight homie

Sergio gets caught with hooks quite a bit. Mostly when he's trying to turn an opponent, he moves right into it.

Maybe. But he's going to have to pay a price to use it. Not sure Miguel can pay that bill.

Not exactly true he is not very easy to hit,he has good head movement and has/had nice footwork. He has a huge reach advantage and the power and speed advantage...This will most likely be an ugly night for Cotto All I know is Cotto is going to become the very first Puerto Rican World Champion with 4 World Titles or he's going to DIE TRYING.. :439: PRPP:boxing:

Everytime I read about this fight people make it seem like Martinez is some kind of freaking defnsive whiz. Martinez is one of the easiest guys to hit in boxing, he'll be there for Cotto to land all night. Not exactly true he is not very easy to hit,he has good head movement and has/had nice footwork.

Could Sergio counter it also? What does Cotto need to do to get inside Sergio's jab? A nice swift kick to the groin, no J/k.. A nice solid left hook to that surgically repaired right knee.. PRPP :rofl:

Bob and weave son, bob and weave behind his jab. Double up on the jab on the way in. The basics! That's how Cotto gets inside to tee off with his big punches (left hook included.)

Best 2 punches against a southpaw are?????? thats right you got it...the straight right and the left hook
