    Uncle gringo is open to all bets. You name the amount and it's on. I game away all of my points before the great point depression so I don't have too much to work with, but anything you see <<< is up for a good friendly wager.

          Well, I see your situation, so I'll make it a fun little bet. Say..... 40,000?

              How about the full 150 whatever thousand I have over there?

              40K is good too. I can feed my kids with 40K.

                Addison you made this thread without actually mentioning how Cotto is going to suffer as a result of his aggression against Shane. Maybe I missed where you tactically broke this down...

                So far I have seen a bunch of the same that I always see. Key words of this thread so far have been low blow, dirty, **** you and nut hugger. How is this different from any other garbage thread around?

                Oh wait I'm here. That's the first difference. Thread is instantly 1000x better. I'm going to attempt to give you what you want.

                We're going to assume that both guys are at their best, fighting smart fights on both ends. Cotto isn't recklessly aggressive when he is fighting smart. He won't have a smaller man in front of him so I doubt he'll look three sheets to the wind. When he struggled with guys like Torres and Corley, he hurt them early, smelled blood, and El Cotto Loco took over. He thought he could steam roll them and he was wrong. He was caught in both instances while punching in combination or trying to initiate contact. Corley timed him and Torres' faster hands saw him landing his own power shots before Miguel could get off. Again, he was fighting a bad fight.

                I think Cotto is going to use a bit more of a subtle approach (eh, as far as that goes for Miguel). I think he'll stalk Mosley, coming in behind punches in order to land anything he can on Mosley before Shane gets off with his own arsenal. I like how Cotto mixed in uppercuts and punches from different angles in his fight with Judah. He'll have to use a variety of looping punches after getting to Shane's body to do damage up top. I like the short right hand inside here for Cotto.

                I saw you say somewhere in here that Cotto has a low fighting IQ because all he can do "bullrush in and throw to the body when his guy stops moving". How does a particular method of fighting *THAT WORKS* translate to having a low IQ in your mind? How does one follow the other? He would be unintelligent to do anything else but what works for him. You ever see the dumb **** fighter in the ring that tries to get cute and act like they are something they aren't? Yeah, not so much Cotto.

                You also said something about not being able to pressure a puncher. How ****ing wrong is that? Wawaweewa...

                You happen to watch Hatton/Tszyu? Pryor/Arguello? Barkley/Hearns? I could ****ing go on all day. Miguel can pressure Mosley and he will pressure him...to his benefit too.

                Neither Cotto nor Mosley will do well in this fight if they try to do some crazy **** to win. I expect both guys to give one hell of a performance. Although it matters who wins, both guys are great fighters and they are both top, top fighters at their weight regardless.

                You already know what it is. Miguelito "El Cotto Loco" Lowblowtto for oldgringo.
                You always show up after the mindless assaults happen.. I lash out with equally low brow insults to stay on par in retaliation - and then you, the long winded emotional Cotto fan shows up.. I can set my watch by it..

                Then you proceed to make excuses.. It's all opinions coming from everyone, but you try to act like your **** is gospel.. HaHa.

                To begin with the basis of everything you're saying is rooted in YOUR idea that Cotto is a better fighter than I think he is. Bullrushing works against the "T-cans and gutless wonders" I referred to. Did you not read that part???

                You've never heard you can't or shouldn't pressure a puncher??? DAMN!! I know you're young and **** but just exactly how long have you been around this sport? That is a Boxing MAXIM. Those are excellent exceptions to the rule but guess what - none of those guys have Miguel Cotto's CHIN. He does. Barkley/Hearns?? Get real.. The key to those fights was the jeri-curl toxicity in Tommy's cranium..


                I'll be happy for you though if Miguel wins. I think you're one of the sharper cats around. If you blow this one I WILL be dissapointed in you, but I'll understand you're thinking with your heart instead of your head..

                      My ego > your post.

                      I am a fan. Why watch if you aren't? To predict every fight right and think you're the king of the world? This bush league psyche-out stuff. Laughable, man - ha ha! I would have ****ed you in the ass Saturday. I **** you in the ass next Wednesday instead. Wooo! You got a date Wednesday, baby!
                      ****ing me in the ass?

                      I do that **** way better..


                      Your ego don't match your ability though, homie. Take it from ME.
