Gatti vs. Cotto

[borikua]

This is a joke one big punch rocks Cotto and all of a sudden he has no chin. Thats some bull****a and Cotto would kill Gatti to the body and then finish him. Before this fight have you ever seen Cotto take clean shots like that, i think not. Corleys southpaw stance threw him off and he has overly agressive. Yall well see when Cotto rips his next oppenent up.

Well said...ppl are acting here like a fighter is as good as his last fight, why no one mentions that Cotto is the first to stop Corley, Corley should thank that ref cuz he was just going to take more punishment from Cotto.

almost everyone insulted the ref as well, but I think he did a good job. Corley was looking for a way out of the fight, and got it.

And like you said, he was getting punished pretty badly.

Cotto was far from impressive, and if Gatti can use his boxing ability....he would hurt Cotto.

I dont think Cotto is ready to fight Gatti.

I still say:

Cotto punches 20x harder than Mayweather and Zab though...

he put Chopshops ass down 4 times.

Man he put him down a with a HUGE weight advantage. If he couldn't, then I'm sorry, you need to quit while your ahead. People say, oh yeah Cotto showed great heart to be able to recover, etc. Well you know what? You outweigh the guy 17lbs, there shouldn't be a need. Gatti was a prime example of how devastating 17lbs weight advantage could be against a really good fighter(Gamache). Cotto nearly got his ass KOed against a guy who hasn't won for some time and hasn't shown much power as of late yet for some reason rocks a guy who outweighs him drastically. Sure it's a punch that will hurt just about anyone that gets hit by it though cmon, Gatti throws those types of hooks all night, you think he won't be able to land at least once? Look at when he landed it to drop Leijia. At this time, Gatti by KO against a still learning Cotto.

Steve Kim and Doug Fischer of MaxBoxing both make a good point about this 17 pound weight advantage. The extra weight could have been more of a disadvantage since it was mostly water-weight, which would bog a fighter down. Its not like Cotto threw on 17 pounds of muscle before the fight.

Gamache was a really good fighter that had no chin anymore, any top fighter at that weight class would have blasted him out.(this point also backed by Kim and Fischer)

You're right Gatti does throw those types of hooks all night. but he's going to be a lot more careful than he was against a feather fisted Leija. Cotto will fight a much smarter fight against Gatti, he wont rush in like he did against Chopchop. He wouldnt even rush in on Corley in a rematch. He fought a sloppy fight trying to impress his home crowd.

Whether or not the stoppage was warranted. As borikua says, he was on his way to doing something no else has done (Floyd&Zab included) and stop chop chop.

yea he needs work and he's gonna get it. Gatti is tied up with floyd right now, so cotto has time to get work in.

itll be a competitive, exciting fight. gatti will not overwhelm cotto. i'm definitely reaching, but its something I feel...Cotto in 9(to the body or cuts). He wont knock him out, but the ref will stop it.
