Miguel Cotto is Battering Sparring Partners in Camp

[GodOfWarII]

When I think of sparring, I think of training... Not seriously trying to rip the other guys head off, thats used for the work on the heavy bag

Don't. You have to perform at your best. The purpose of sparring is to train in action, the heavy bag doesn't hit you back. Practice specific shots, combos and areas of defense...

I don't have chin problems, I don't need to try and rip someones head off during sparring. They should call me the terminator since someone can break there fists on my iron chin.

what do you mean by this

Basically i began reading repeaded reports in 2005 around january that kermit cintron was sending sparring partners home with broken ribs and just killing people, what ended up happening is him getting folded by margarito in the process, i hear all this stuff about sparring partners getting abused, or someone getting abused by a sparring partner and while its exciting, rarely does it translate into what happens on fight night, which is why i just kind of shy away from these types of press releases.

true, there seems to be this myth coming from some corners about their boxers ripping sparring partners apart...hehe. I don't think u will ever hear a sparring partner saying that he battered the boxer right before a fight

Intresting but on july 26 Tony's no Sparrin Parther!

Thats kind of sad, sparring partners are there for training but not there to be abused... Has Cotto become floyd? Floyd did that to one of his sparring partners and it was the sickest thing I've ever seen, they showed it on 24/7 and that sparring partner had blood on him.. ****ing disgusting

Blood on a boxer?? OMIGOD!!!!

I think he should be looking for ways to neutralize Margarito's style, instead of learning to adapt to his style. Maybe he is, but if he isn't, I see problems.

This is just a product of the intensity that Cotto is bringing into his training. He just doesn't want to win, he wants to look impressive and give Margarito a solid beating.
