    Urkal Thinks Speed is The Key To Beat Cotto

    Oktay Urkal is preparing for a hot battle in the heat of San Juan, Puerto Rico where he takes on WBA welterweight champion Miguel Angel Cotto on March 3. "That will be a tough fight," said the 37-year-old mandatory challenger. "But I am ready. It´s not the first time that I´m in the same ring with a world-class fighter." [details]

    lots of heart for this guy to go and fight Cotto at his hometown and he is just like Rocky i guess that is his only chnace to shine for the last time e****ally with his age.

    hope he win but that is just a little chance for him but i could alway give someone who enter a ring a chance to win or lose

      Hand speed will help him for the early rounds. I dont expect Cotto to methodical though. Hes fighting in PR and Im sure he wants to make a statement. I think hes going to rugh Urkal and overwhelm him early.

            Fighting in PR COULD make Cotto too eager to impress and get reckless but I highly doubt it. Im pickin Cotto till the day he loses and im gonna make a ton of money doing so! Urkal has a good plan in mind tho and the guy is a threat

                urkal was good 5years ago but hes way past it now, plus hes no welterweight

                speed is the key to beat cotto but so is power on his shaky chin

                  usually that is the best time to shine for Urkal to do it because Cotto wont think this is an easy fight for him.

                  but Top Rank choose most of Cotto's fighter to fight him so i dont think they will put him in front of a dangerous fighter. but that what happen to Baldomir and in NY city Zab's town too

                    I would tell Otkay that prayer is the key to beating Cotto.
