It was supposed to be Cotto-Bundrage in Brooklyn last year and Showtime turned down the fight so Cotto took his talents back to HBO and fought Rodriguez. Now is the perfect time to do the fight as a tune up before Canelo.
stupidest thing ive heard so far... why do you think Cotto needs a warm up fight before Canelo!>???? This is for everyone reading thid not just you... Canelo straight up sucks. he has no footwork, he cant cut the ring off as good, and his flatfooted!! and the only way he can even come close to winning a fight its to fight people like Angulo that will stay in front of him all day.. Canelo cant box for ****. Cotto beats him easy!!! People may say Canelo its Dangerous because he has power and can hit but to be able to hit someone you need a target, something thats not constantly moving lol Cotto can easily take Canelo to boxing School for a third time!.. i say third time because Floyd took his ass to Boxing 101, Lara took Canelo to boxing 102 and his about to learn his lesson from boxing 103 and his still not going to learn anything lol... a fight its not won by running, its won by boxing which is hit and dont get hit and if you have to use the whole ring to accomplish that then call it running all you want but thats boxing.. theirs different type of fighters.. you have true technical boxers, example like Lara and champ Mayweather, then you have those that are more around 70% technical and 30% brawler like Cotto... then you have fighters like manny and marquez that are counter boxers and brawlers at the same time and can get somewhat technical from time to time..and then you have just brawlers that just want to fight toe to toe with a punching bag for 12 rounds like Canelo..
That's not what the said
"But Cotto has never faced a fighter quite like me either. I’m a complete fighter. I can take the lead and also use the entire ring proficiently. I can be the matador or the bull. I have deceptive power in both hands. I can use my height and reach extremely well and can also fight on the inside effectively when I have to"
Floyd can be a matador/bull? Floyd has power in both hands? I think Trout is longer then Floyd.
Stop embarrassing yourself
Na seriously stop the jokes. . So your saying Trout has punching power?? Trout doesnt have punching power on neither hands bro lets be real. Trout aint no Bull/Matador like he claims to be . Go to sleep. Margarito im sure its stronger than this dude and has punching power. Gtfo
if u had points id bet u
ill be ringside watching cotto be sent to retirement along with u HIS DELUSIONAL FANS!
i love cotto been to many of his fights but he is way past it bro
Even better youll be ringside!!!! i guess you will be disappointed on ur buddy Trout lol cuz his gonna come up short.. and Cotto sent to retirement by who??? Trout??? now your funny and delusional for sure hahahahaha.. Trout aint even got punching power and he sucks.. what ur gonna see on Dec 1st its Cotto dominating and making a fool out of Trout lol im sure old Martinez at 154 lb has more punching power than Trout hands down Even Margarito has more punching power than this guy... But soon you will see Cotto as a Champion once again
:lmao2: he tried to fight his daddy margarito at a 150 catchweight...margo told him to eat a d1ck so cotto gave in to 153
He still won... owned margarito and dominated lol...
Trout only sounded delusional in one part. He said Cotto hasn't faced anyone as skilled as him, basically, but Cotto just fought Mayweather... Yes?
Thank you!!!!! Someone that actually read and understood what im trying to say!!!! I thought I was the only one that thinks this guy its an idiot... watch his previous fights. NOT ON COTTOS LEVEL AT ALL
Heads up OP , this must rank as one of the most stupid posts in the history of boxingscene, witch properly means that it is one of the most stupid post in the history of human civilization .
:killyou:
Ray and shade everyone has their own definition of "owned" i guess... thats what u think owned means in ur words thats u... and ive seen worst threads in here... no matter how stupid the threads are it gets stupid people like u(110110110) to comment huh? it caught ur attention lol...
idiot he has a great chance of winning
esp since cotto is SHOT TO ****
trout tko 11
Yea ok whatever makes u sleep better at night.. keep dreaming. First he needs punching power to tko someone and he doesnt have any so how is he gonna tko Cotto?? Second he needs skills and his very short on that.. lol Trout wont be tko anyone on Dec 1st thats for sure.
Actually sometimes talking is good for soe boxers, they are convincing themself they can win.
Some say some Do!! Let's see what Trout brings.
Pac and Floyd did
MArgie Cheated
One thing is certain, Trout is a pure 154 lb bigger and has fast hands. If Cotto wins this people have to give him a great deal of credit.
Margarito and Yuri Foreman are true 154lbs and both were bigger than Cotto.. Even Mayorga its somewhat bigger than Cotto and Mayorga looked stronger than Cotto did but we all know who won... and i highly doubt Trout has faster hands than Mayweather and we all watched the Mayweather Cotto fight.. Trout doesnt have half the defense Mayweather has and Mayweather still got caught with some good shots by Cotto so that being said Trout will be open for alot of shots.. and Cotto has fast hands.
People who have not really boxed before tend to look at it like that, the butt that caused all the drama no doubt illegal.
But Ortizs use of the head is not what your making it out to be, anybody who has laced them up and has an aggressive style of fighting, knows that when you get in on the inside with a man who has a nice uppercut to avoid getting hit with that shot you must burry your head into his shoulder and thats what Ortiz was doing.
Holyfield does that, and its often looked at the same way your looking at this, infact if you watch Holyfield vs Bowe 2 you can hear steward inbetween rounds reminding Evander that once he gets inside burry your head into his shoulder.
Alot of fighters do that and its not a dirty tactic, its to avoid getting hit with a shot on the inside you dont see comming.
However no matter how you look at this there is a right way and a wrong way, you can bend the truth all you want but at the end of the day its the fighters responsibility to protect himself at all times, its the fighters responsibility to win the fight but most importantly its the fighters responsibility to respect this sport, you dont disrespect the sport of boxing you let the ref do his job.
if a fighter is showing sportsmanship weather he was over doing it or not you do not sucker punch him like that when you clearly know that the ref doesnt have control when you clearly know your opponent is trying to make it right, sure it doesnt make the headbutt right but he was doing the right thing...
and at the end of the day, this is exactly the kind of **** that contributes to the death of this sport.
bro you wrote a damm testament... i do boxing and let me tell you theres a big difference in getting in the inside and putting your head in the opponents shoulder to avoid getting hit thats ok whatever you like to do.. but theres no doubt that was intentional and dirty. he got what he diserve and plus you dont go kissing your opponent and all that im really sry $hitt.. you messed up ok cool touch gloves and get to it.. im not a dirty fighter but you get your one time mistakes you make and let tell you you dont go and start kissing and hugging in the ring bro...
cotto will defenately win this fight no questions asked.. it wont be an easy fight for Cotto!!! but the key to winning this fight is just boxing Margo and working him.. if Cotto tries to KO Margo he will run out of air quick due to all the power punches his gonna throw and it wont look pretty.. im sure he wont make the same mistakes againg and plus now his got Emmauel Stewart in his corner and his improoved so much.. Emmanuel is doing what he said he would, bringing back the old cotto that fought Mosley... and you have to also understand everything Cotto was going through with his uncle (trainer he had for the Margo fight) he had alot of isues and personal stuff going on at that time, but no excuses a loss is a loss with or without plaster lol
This is how I see the fight. Already have money on a Margarito win. Probably putting even more on it. Smoke in mirrors this talk about the demise of the Tornado. FYI I'll be rooting for Cotto in the Garden that night.
wtf happen to the other thread i was writin you something..
how can you say that Margaritos plaster didnt make a difference in that fight??? have you ever gotten hit with a cast before??? let me jump in the ring with you and ill have plaster on my wraps, lets if youll go to distance with me budddyy.. lets be serious, Cotto gave a boxing lesson to sugar shane and your telling me to look at Cottos face after the Pacman fight, so did you also looked at Margos face after the Pacman fight!!?? did you take a good look at Margo after the Shane Mosley fight???? i dont think so right.. Cottos face after Pacman just tells you Pacman is aint cheating cuz he's left everyone his fought the same way except shane.. Cotto has this fight hands down his a better fighter overall
So you are then basing Cotto beating Margarito not on the notion that Margarito is shot, but that Steward has or will turn Cotto into a stronger fighter. And enter this fight with a better game plan?
everyone can say whatever they want.. now it turns out that Margarito is shot and it wont be the same fight then the one in 2008?? is that what your saying.. im not basing my statement on stewart working a miracle with Cotto, Cotto is an overall better boxer than margarito is!!! Margarito is a wallllll all he does is follow you around the ring and hope you get tired so he can throw his slow ass punches you can see amile away!!! lets see how his gonna do it without his plaster this time...is easy hitting someone with a damm cast and say you got punching power. one upper cut aint gonna do all that damage he did to Cotto, is obvios he had something on. And maybe Stewart will make Cotto stronger, but what im saying is that his goal is to bring the old cotto back. smarter and uses stragedy to break his opponent.. his gonna go in there and give margo a boxing lesson guarantee.
i remember cotto being interviewed after the marg fight and he was asked why he didnt goto the body at all, he said he just didnt see openings for the body, i wonder if he ll be able to find any this time around, i think it will be vital to slowing down marg... if he cant slow him down it will play out exactly like it did before
i said to myself so many times why he didnt go to the body at all.. he didnt even tried once.. ive watched that fight so many times and he just went upstairs all day didnt bother going to the body which would make sense that he goes to the body being that his shorter and would break him down and slow him up... this fight is defenately going to be different.. Emmanuel Stewart said it along time before Cotto lost to Margo that if he would get his hands on Cotto he would be one of the greatest ever..
Cottos key to winning this fight is to work the body and just box margo and once in a while as needed clinch fu*** it!!!!!!!!!!!!! is part of boxing is there so why not do it if is gonna get you a Win... look at Pretty Bit*** Floyd...
ok guys lets be serious here.. this is an article
"Margarito's claims that he didnot "see" what his trainer Capetillo was placing on his hands was totally untrue, and ridiculous. Having been a boxer for 11 years amateur and pro, you are "face to face" with your trainer as he is taping your hands, and you could see clearly how and with what your hands are being wrapped. There is a growing believable suspicion that grandfathering some of Margarito's past fights, his hands could've been doctored when he k.o.'d Kermit Cintron twice, and Golden Johnson, and in his previous fight with Cotto, Cotto indicated in an interview after the fight that after the 7th. round he felt that Margarito's hands felt harder and heavier than in the earlier rounds. So, was Margarito also cheating then? Your guess is as good as mine."
cotto did better against mayweather than bradley against pac.
Cotto landed meaningful and telling shots against mayweather (and u can see that in the replays) while bradley didnt do anthing at all. I didnt see any replays during the fight that he landed something super clean like pac's punches to him..
Cotto made mayweather's nose bleed and work the jab..
While bradley? Im really butthurt about this. Bradley's jab was ****in worthless, no power and didnt even land clean on pac..
Cotto and mayweather was far more competitive than this bradley worthless fight. I cant belive he can even brag about this with all his **** talking before hand.
But if cotto won against mayweather, the same reaction would have happen.. But then atleast it was closer than this worthless bradley fight.
i agreee... If anything cotto should had won against mayweather lol i was way closer than this fight manny bradley... Boxing its worthless now a days its not the same... I rather watch mma and ufc its real..
difference being, however many rounds cotto won was because he outfought mayweather. Whatever rounds bradley won were because pacquaio was inactive and took minutes off, giving the round away.
thank you... Thats what im talking about
I'd be interested to see what people think about this. Obviously Bradley scored a lot better on the cards than Cotto did but lots of people thought Cotto-Floyd was closer than the judges had it while pretty much everyone thought Pacquiao won that fight quite comfortably.
I think both guys gave spirited performance but I actually thought Miguel caused Floyd more problems than Bradley caused Pacquiao.
What do you think?
the cotto mayweather fight should had been a split decisions if anyting!! Not pacquiao bradley!!!!! that was defenately a unanimous decision in favor of manny pacquiao... the cotto mayweather fight was alot closer than this one was... i gave Bradley maybe 2 rounds... Manny clearly out landed him and manny didnt have to do much against Bradley his not an ELITE fighter... well his not going to be a champ for long cuz i can be sure his next opponent will destroy him... i hope they put him against Cotto or Canelo or someone good... even if these fighters go down in weight to 147lbs they will destroy Bradley!!!!
naw man.
May-cotto:
Cotto took rounds 6 and 8 clearly. Round 9 was close and round 5 was competitive.
Pac-bradley:
Bradley took rounds 10 and 12. Rounds 1 and 9 were close.
Neither bradley or cotto should have won more than 4 rounds max, and neither should have won fewer than 2. 3 being about the most fair.
But hey "bro", a lot of cotto fans thought cotto won 5 rounds which is lretty laughable. Same goes for anyone who thought bradley won more than 3-4 rounds at the most.
i got cotto winning for sure 4 rounds.. 5 kinda tossing a coin because it was very close... But point is that it doesnt matter all we say and all these discussions and who won what and who did what because the sport is corrupted and dirty and i refuse to watch another fight.. Its gotten to the point that its bs!!!
man there are some hardcore cotto stans on here. How on gods green earth did they give cotto the 3rd, 10th, and 12th???????
Both were about the same. Bradley and cotto won 4 rounds at the very most, 3 being the most fair, and 2 at the least.
your crazy...it looks like you may be a mayweather nut hugger... I gave bradley one round two being the most... Cotto won about five rounds against mayweather bro..
floyd is one of the best. but i truly believe in about a years time bam bam will be ready to solve the puzzle. he has all the intangibles and his ring iq is better than ortiz's who gave him hell in 4 rounds...before giving him a way out.
Ortiz did not give mayweather hell for no 4 rounds lmao he was just aggressive but he wasn't doing anything... im not a mayweather fan first of all but I have to say he is the best inside the ring and theres no one at this point that theres going to beat him and his going to retire undefeated .. sad story lol... Bam Bam Rios has no chance against mayweather... In my opinion Canelo its way better than BamBam by a lot... Canelo would destroy Rios... Not even Pacquiao has a chance... Mayweather its just simply the best and there is no puzzle or strategy to get to mayweather cuz he adapts to all type of fight styles lol... stop hoping for nothing and just give up... best fight so far has been Cotto vs Mayweather.. Cotto has been the closest one to beating mayweather and he actually gave him a hard time... enough said... in a canelo cotto clash I got Cotto winning by decision.. more experienced inside the ring and he doesn't lack power... Your hopes with Rios beating Mayweather, keep hoping and dreaming..
Just watch the 9th round dummy. Tell me he's not holding the whole time. Tell me he doesn't have a look of concern on his face. Watch the 9th round ***** and tell me I don't know **** about boxing.
denial LMAO.. Cotto played with Margarito hahaha if it would have went 12 Cotto would had won anyways lol retard u dont know boxing stupid
Margarito was a punching bag last night thats all :nonono:
your a F**** retard!!!!!!! you defenately dont know boxing.. shut up seriously... Cotto owned Margarito.. and thats it.. Cotto is a way better boxer overall lol
