Asian Sensation had it right, there's no way you tell Gomez to come out bombing with Cotto, that's the ******est thing he could possibly do.
I'm going to school you youngster's on what's the only thing he can do to win.
#1 - He has to be in the best shape of his life, period. He will need this because even though Gomez isn't the most agile and quick guy, he will need to stick and move constantly playing the counter puncher for 12 full rounds.
#2 - Utilize the jab all night long. Throw it out there to the point that Cotto is just waiting for it. Cotto isn't a great boxer and is suceptible to the straight right hand, use the jab to set the right hand up while moving, moving, moving.
#3 - Finally, don't get caught up in this macho bull**** with Cotto. Even though Gomez will be the bigger man, don't let that lure you into a brawl with Cotto, that's what he wants. Cotto is still the bigger puncher and getting in tight with him is his fight. Neither Mosley nor Judah boxed him for 12 rounds, when they did they were winning those exchanges.
This is the only chance Gomez has but I think Cotto wins and wins easily. If Gomez were to win, it would be on the level of Mike Tyson vs Buster Douglas IMO, monumental upset.
