Cotto vs Torres [what a classic]

[Dynamite Kid]

Bro, I've seen that fight so many times... I like the way he took him apart, pressured him but didn't get too greedy, know what i mean. That's Cotto at his best right there.

spot on

Cotto being patient, then picking his spots and cranking up the pressure and going upstairs and downstairs when he sees the opportunities

Cotto has one of the best LH to the body since J C Chavez

Or as Emmanuel Steward said while Cotto was walking to the ring for the Margo fight..."maybe the best left hook to the body that I have ever seen". That's a great compliment, one that actually means something.

I remember bein on the edge of my seat in this fight. I'd never even heard of Torres before and he was breakin Cotto off sumthin. Still one of Cotto's better wins.

Needless to say I'm a huge Cotto fan, having said that, smart fighters don't take the punishment Cotto took there and in the Margarito fights. Cotto is not the biggest hitter in the game or slickest boxer either, but he's a better boxer than a puncher, he should stick to boxing and avoid brawling, he's too concerned about pleasing fans. He showed mad heart in that fight.

Hey arent you the same guy that said "Juanmas chin needs to be tested"?

[ELHURACAN58]

True that

Nahhh Williams didnt pound Margarito hard like Cotto did Quintana........

Not sure if I said it, but I agree it needs to be tested, igual que a Galarza , a ese si que hay que probarlo...

A Galarza ya lo han tumbado en su debut... but fighters have yet to go 3 complete rounds with the guy and besides, hes 23 years old, mientras se quede enfocado, hes going to be something.

I liked Galarza when he was part of the national team, as a pro I see him looking for KO in every opportunity and take too many shots, sure he can KO those guys, but he needs to work on his deffense and be once again the fighter he was. I wouldn't worry about him being down, Juanma was down also in one of his first fights, but now you see him being a bit more careful, that's what Galarza needs to do.

those 2 shot that torres hit cotto. oh man those were right there in the chin. anybody else would of gone down

Well he did go down, he was on ***** street in over 4 occasions. Regardless it was an excellent fight, non-stop action and one of my favorite Cotto brawls. I still say that if Torres wouldn't of been a late replacement and had more time to study and prepare for Cotto he would of won this fight.
