How Will Cotto Do It?

how can you "not count the collazo fight" when that was his last fight?

how can you "not count the collazo fight" when that was his last fight?

The reason I'm "not counting" that fight is because he fought an injured, one-handed fighter. All Collazo was trying to do from the third round on was survive because his left hand (his dominant and power hand) was broken. That's why I don't count it. If it were an injury that was due to Mosley's punishment (i.e. a cut caused by a punch or a legitimate KD), then I'd count the fight. However, this was not an injury attributable to Mosley and Collazo's actions the rest of the fight were merely for survival; he wasn't trying to beat Shane, he was just trying not to get hit and KO'd.

Hope that makes sense.

Cotto wil win i think shane isnt even all that good.

So bet with me...

Sugar shane will win this fight...

Speed and Heavy Power will stop Cotto.... Zab judah was fast and Rocked cotto a few times easily.

Shane hits harder and is a better boxer than Zab Judah.

Zab is faster than Mosley right now. Mosley has slowed since his days at 135 quite a bit. Cotto had no problems with Zab's speed.

Many people will say that Zab was only throwing one punch at a time or that he wasn't using his jab as he should've. There's a reason for that. Watch the fight again and you'll see that Zab was using his jab and he was throwing combinations EARLY. The reason he stopped was because, every time he engaged Cotto, Cotto engaged him back.

Miguel's punches are thundering. He has thick legs and can put his weight into his punches because of it. Cotto turns with his punches which gives him more power. That's why he might seem slower than he actually is. However, when you come in and throw two at Cotto, he hits you with at least one (although Cotto rarely throws one at a time and is usually firing a 3-4 punch combo). That one punch makes you think twice about coming in on Cotto again.

Cotto likes to punch as he's getting hit, something most other fighter's don't do. Cotto doesn't always cover up. He looks for a way to punish you right back and he usually does.

That's what happened to Zab and what's going to happen to Mosley.

yeah zab is faster but you have to remember that mosely is smarter. i dont think cotto will defeat mosely in the manner he did zab. you cant compare the two cause they are on different levels. mosely is too smart to put hisself in the position zab did. zab lost because of his lack of discipline and inability to adapt. Thats not the case with mosely so you cant expect to see the exact same fight come november. im not ****ting on cotto. i think he has a good chance of winning i just dont see him dominating mosely the way he did judah. if anything i think if he does win it would probably be by split decision.

No one... I've never seen Shane fight.

If someone put a gun to my head, I'd pick Mosley, because I usually favor the slicksters over the swarmers/brawlers/whatever the **** you want to call them.

He also has a major experience edge.

I'm just not impressed with Cotto altogether either.

You never seen Mosley fight?? You're opinion is now worth **** and you know nothing about boxing.

I don't want cotto to lose but I wouldnt much mind it if he did this time. He seriously needs a new trainer. Cotto made almost no adjustments to deal with judah's speed, that **** was disappointing.It shows serious lack of a pre fight game plan.


So if cotto does it, expect him to do what he always does, same way hes always done it.

Survive early if he needs to, don't be deterred, apply a consistent attack.

I was rooting for Mosley but since I found out he took steroids I kind a want him to get that ass beat!

[crillz]

anybody who wants to bet holla at me, I got ALL my points on Cotto against whoever can either match me or take my same risk and bet it all, by then I should have damn near 3K points so whoever wants to bet me I got Cotto as the winner, however which way I just know he's gonna win, I want to bet on this one so if there's any takers PM me.. 100

same here, shane is a good guy at heart, but i think he needs to be sacrifice at the altar of boxing for his mistake.
