How good is Cotto's chin??

[bigdlb12]

Just like the shot Roy took from Glen Johnson. It rocked his brain more than it did his chin. hitting the brain and shaking that up a bit will make your whole body wobble...All part of the nervous system, started at the brain and went right down his spinal cord.



A GOOD MINUTE? Cotto was out the whole round.

yeah poor RJJ, but if I am not mistaken I think the punch landed @ about 1:30 into the fight

[bigdlb12]

Judging from the fight and the fact that he got rocked by a guy smaller than him and can't punch, I'd say his chin isn't very good.

it wasnt on the chin

[theironone]

i think the weight loss may have affected him, he looked so bad at the weigh in, i was very shocked.
Of course his chin may be bad but i don't believe it is, i think he just got caught on the button when his mentality wasn't correct.
I think he tought he could walk through Corley and it looked like he might in the 1st so out went the defense and thinking and in came the ricardo mayorga twin swinging for the fences for the KO.
He got caught being careless, i actually thought he did well not to go down cos he was OUT, his legs were ****ed, he showed good instincts to grab like that.
To me it looked like he was getting back on top in the 5th and well too, but i do think it was a bit of a premature stoppage, it did look to me like it was becoming a matter of time though and cotto wouldn't have made the same mistake as he did in the third, Corley look tired too which surprised me.
It'l be very interesting when Cotto goes in with a well known ****er, but having said that, he'l prob keep his chin embedded on his chest and look awesome again!!!!

you dont think that it was a premature stoppage? Why not?
Corley took a knee, none of the three shots fired from cotto landed when corley took the knee

[Mike Tyson Jr.]

He got wobbled from lite
punches. His chin sucks.

Cottos chin is still as great as everybody thought, he just got caught with a shot on the button that would have stumbled anybody who got hit with it. Cotto is still the man.

u must have never been in the ring in your ****ing sad life

a shot with both fighters leverage coming in like that doesnt matter where you get hit,tard,your goin down.that was the hardest punch of the fight bc of the leverage, if cotto got smackd on the jaw he wouldve done the same thing, dont ****ing post if you dont know what you are talking about, this goes for all of you,dont post if you are a clueless ape like this guy.

[TheRealDunnagan]

We don't get to see the fight until friday in England. Was this an impressive win for Cotto? or for the first time have we seen his weakness, how good is cotto's chin?? Was the weight a problem for cotto?

you are a douchebag for making this thread,then again what else comes out of where your from,dumb ****in heaves who think they know it all and pollute the boxing world with ****ty hometown fighters.

say 'how well can cotto take a punch' otherwise you have a bunch of ****heads claiming 'it was a temple shot,omg his chin is still iron'

you people are ******s that claim that

You sure that was directed at me? I said anybody who got hit with that shot would have stumbled, you say the same thing...Im confused.

Cotto's chin is very solid. Like a bunch of people stated the punch Corley caught him with was to the temple, anytime you get hit to the temple you are going to lose your equilibrium.

Kepp in mind that Cotto would likely never fight this style of fight again. He's normally a very solid defensive fighter that keeps his chin tucked almost the entire fight. He wanted top impress the home crowd by wowing them with a slugfest and it almost backfired. If Cotto keeps coming into the ring at that size, I see him being a signifcant force. Although I think Harris is a bad matchup for him. I think Cotto would be best served to fight the smaller guys, Harris is not a little 140 pounder himself.
