Why Mosley Lost...

[Knicksman20]

Cotto was effective because he would keep catching Mosley when Mosley was Moving away.. Cotto did a splendid job of reading Molsey's foot work..

I have always believed in Cotto and Bet on him in this fight just like I have bet on him in the past.. I have ALWAYS known he is Fast..

SO I am not trying to discredit Cotto's win in any way..

I am just saying .. For 6 or so rounds Mosley was headhunting.. He found Success later in the fight By Throwing Combos.. His Trademark.. I am simply wondering he abandoned His hand speed in the early going..

He thought that he was going to knock Cotto out if he caught him flush a few times. That's probably why he didn't punch in combo as much as he should've early. Had he done that we might've seen a different outcome.

I said this after the Judah fight and I'm saying it again. Cotto MAKES you throw one punch at a time. He likes to counter-punch when his opponent is punching and, after the first few times they get hit, they decide they don't want any part of Cotto's left hook. So, they throw one punch at a time, hoping to connect and get out of the way before Cotto has a chance to counter them.

Cotto's style is what makes his opponents fight like that. Against DLH it will be the same thing. DLH will come in with his quick combos at first, and he'll try to land his left uppercut in the beginning seting up his left hook with it (yes, the double left) but, after the third round, I think we'll see a lot of DLH getting on his bike and not wanting to really engage Cotto. He says he wants a war until he gets hit by Cotto a few times. I don't think Cotto KO's DLH, as Oscar is known for having a pretty tough beard, but the body shots might take their toll and DLH might end up where he did in the Hopkins fight.

what he said............................

mosley loss because he thought cotto was slow, and had a weak chin. cotto took some pretty flush shots from shane, but they didnt really hurt him. he fought a great fight.
