    definitely... mosley/clottey will try to exploit that and it makes those fights so much more exciting

        williams handled an effective boxer so easily he KTFO quitnana in the 1st round... if that's not handling I dunno what is.

          good analysis, although didnt margo catch cotto with an uppercut in the 2nd?

            Nah, Jennings threw quite a few uppercuts when Cotto got a little close (watch the 2nd and 3rd rounds).

              agreed and it was Quintana's fault for not preparing for such an assault. i seriously think he wasnt expecting Paul to come out with 50 cals blasting. or at least that it wasn't in him.

                  i remember jennings threw an uppercut, then cotto countered it with a left hook.

                  i forgot which round, ill have to go back and check.

                  i just found it:

                  1:04 remaining in round 5.

                  however, it looked like cotto was in the middle of throwing a combination while jennings missed the uppercut.

                    ??

                    The plaster was what margarito used to beat Cotto. Not the uppercut. Don't get it twisted.
