Here is how I see Cotto's agression and his entire style working against him. He simply doesn't have the tools to beat a faster, bigger and equally if not better conditioned fighter in Mosley who has punching power in his own right.
round 1-5, Mosley is just using his jab and quick one-two's to keep Cotto at bay and has no problems. Cotto is applying alot of pressure but not landing enough. The few bodyshots he does land don't effect Mosley at all.
Round 6, Cotto starts to fade and fatigue starts kicking in. He is not able to do anything and the few good shots he landed never effected Mosley.
Round 7, Mosley picks up the pace from quick one-two's to throwing 4-5 punch combinations.
Round 8, at one point they trade but the steam off of Cotto's punches is gone and Mosley gets the better of the exchange. Mosley catches him with a good shot and cotto is staggered on his feet. Cotto like Vargas against Delahoya backs up against the ropes hurt, Mosley goes for the kill. Either Cotto goes down early and gets a count and another chance OR Mosley just finished him off on his feet with the ref waving it off.
Im going for the second option.
Winner by 8rd tko, Shane MosleyComment

The reason Cotto's aggression can work well for him is the fact that Mosley has a ego in the ring and can get reckless. Usually when Mosley is hit with a big shot he wants to fire back immediately and thats when he gets reckless and loses what makes him a great fighter. That side of Mosley could help Cotto's aggression if he can hit Mosley with a big shots a few times a round or at least once a round to make Mosley get out of his character which would lead to more opportunities for Cotto while being aggressive. I think Cotto wins strictly because Mosley is old and battle torn. Mosley in his prime would beat the breaks off of Cotto easily and more than likely Arum doesn't even make this fight with Mosley in his prime.Comment

Not to take this thread off topic because I like how civil most people have been in this thread. My question is, do you think PBF vs. Hatton could play out the same except maybe the KO or TKO may come a little later in the fight?Here is how I see Cotto's agression and his entire style working against him. He simply doesn't have the tools to beat a faster, bigger and equally if not better conditioned fighter in Mosley who has punching power in his own right.
round 1-5, Mosley is just using his jab and quick one-two's to keep Cotto at bay and has no problems. Cotto is applying alot of pressure but not landing enough. The few bodyshots he does land don't effect Mosley at all.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Hatton will not be knocked out but he will be beaten up badly. It will be up to his corner whether it will go to distance or not.Comment

It's not just a pressure thing. I dont expect Cotto to all out pressure Mosley. I expect him to be careful early, pick his shots, and try to establish his jab. Throw all of the body punching out of the window. It's his jab that will be the factor, and by the championship rounds, I see Cotto landing it a lot while getting inside, and letting go that combination he loves, and Mosley has been talking about. The left to the body, sneaky left uppercut to the head, right hand, and sweeping left hook to the head.
Mosley sees it on video, he thinks he can stop it, but after he gets hit with left body shots late, he wont see the uppercut coming. Late in the fight Mosley wont look hurt, but he will look exhausted. And Cotto will still be coming along. Yes, it's possible Cotto gets buzzed early, and I'll be expecting it. All I see Shane doing is throwing peppering jabs, flurrying, and trying to keep Cotto outside. At times he'll mix in a hard right hand to test that chin. When Cotto gets cought lunging, Shane will look for that left and right hook a lot. It's going to happen. Difference is, I think Cotto can take those punches, and some people dont.
It's a pick em fight. Nobody is high and mighty if they predict the outcome right. Anything is possible. Lets just all hope it turns out to be the great fight we are expecting.Comment

There is always one in the crowd.
That was an A and B conversation and can C your way out of it. But I will answer your question because I need the points. He gave his interpretation of how he feel Mosley vs. Cotto will play out. With what he said I felt that same scenario could play out in PBF vs. Hatton and since I had not seen him post something similar in a thread about PBF vs. Hatton I asked in this thread.
Now to be rude MIND YOUR ****ING BUSINESS NEXT TIME I DO WHAT THE **** I WANT TO DO WHEN I WANT TO DO IT.Last edited by tredh; 10-25-2007, 12:05 PM.Comment
