will we ever see the 'OLD' cotto again?

[The Gully Gad]

Cotto looked good man but its to be expected against Gary Lockett's afterbirh
in Jennings

My only fault with Cotto is when he blocks shots he sits there for an hour with his hands still in blocking postion over exaggerated to the max lol like
he wants major props for blocking hehe

But alright performance though

[..WaRSpencE..]

also it sems as most of the time cotto is just showing off, like when he leaves his hand in the air after landing a punch.

That I can admit is pretty Sadistic!..lol..but he does it for the fans!..he don't talk much..but he lets his hands do the talking..I personally love when he holds his hand in the air after connecting on his opponent..it's like a "what *****!"..lol

You know when he does the blocking thing, it actually makes it look like he got hit.

But every fighter has to change their game plan when they are fighting better opposition. Cotto did. They all have to adjust.

You can't just walk down world class boxers and throw thumping shots.
Cuz they are throwing back. With evil and intention behind their shots.

Just look at the Jennings fight as practice for better opponents in the future.

He is fighting with more intelligence now... which will do him a lot of good!

[xxjace]

Cotto has matured and he is a smarter fighter now..

One without Tattos?

Cotto has always moved slick and lightly on his feet, people here watch Cotto's recent fights and now think they know his entire Repertoire. But he has if anything improved his boxing skills and defensive work. It's not a bad thing.

I think a Skinny Brit already made a thread like this...but his words where "Mincing" I don't really know what it means but i think it's like Prancing...I think it's him being on his toes and trying to get away from that bulling in with his gloves on the side of his face and getting tagged with uppers...I dunno I like it...it's a new dimension in his aresenal...

Cyborg 2.1...Vamos Caguas.!!! al Cantinflas for some Taco's haha..ew.

i dont mean the one before the margarito fight, i'm talking about the cotto that beat quintana, judah and mosley, the cotto who would come forward with a powerful thumping jab and throw powerful body head combos, the cotto who would only retreat when he has to or needs to.

since the Gomez fight Cotto has changed, he thinks he is some sort of an elite slick boxer, unnecessarily jumping up and down and hoping on his toes, trying to fight out of a shoulder roll,

he backs up opponents with combination's and then he himself backs off, such as in the margo fight where he would land 4 or 5 punches and back margo up and instead of capitalizing like mosley did he would back off and start hopping on his toes, same thing i noticed last night in the jennings fight, cotto had jennings against the rope, lands a huge combo, hurts jennings and backs off.

now what is up with that?

cotto needs to fire his uncle and go with a better trainer, a roach, a floyd sr or maybe even a ronnie shields.

Cotto has almost always been that way.. he fought like that early in his career.

Where are you coming up with this ****? I don't know if you got the news update, but Cotto won by TKO after he knocked his opponent down three times. He fought a perfect fight! His body shots were amazing and his footwork. The one thing he didn't do in the fight with Margarito was tie him up while his back was against the ropes. Cotto admitted he didn't believe in doing that as a strategy in any of his fights. That was before he watched Mosley use that strategy against Tony to beat him. All Mosley did to beat Marg was throw combo's, then tied him up to allow the ref to give him back his space till he worn marg down.
