Pacquiao should spar with Omar Henry to prepare for Cotto!!

[No1]

he is near identical to cotto. Has that swinging left hook to the body aswell. good find op. He is cotto black twin lol

[DC Fight Fan]

Omar Henry would surely fit the bill but you guys are completely missing the point of a sparring partner. A sparring partner's job is to mimic someone else's style, not fight there own. Porter has the proper build and power. He also has been in the ring over 300 times in his life, therefore he has a world of experience with styles and will have no problem copying Cotto's style.

And whoever said the stuff about Henry hitting harder than Porter might be clueless. People who think like that are the same people who annointed Jacobs and Berto HUGE punchers because of the KO rate against bums. As soon as they fight live bodies the KO rate comes down. Pay attention.

never heard of Omar Henry before that's a good find



what do you think about Enrique Ornelas

[Larrysbird]

Omar being a Puerto Rican could keep him from sparring with Pacman

I agree (Roach might have thought this but), Porter was the alternate choice I think.

Raymond Serrano is Puerto Rican and he is/was a sparring partner for both the Hatton fight and currently with the Cotto fight.

However, Omar may have turned down the sparring opportunity due to his nationality.

Really? so im guessing you think Porter hits harder than Henry

Omar is a full time college student so he cannot leave town for a long training camp.
Ronnie Shields is his trainer, but J. Johns works very closely with him.
Omar's next fight is in Corpus Christi 10/17 and may be televised by one of the Azteca networks.
In Houston at his own gym he is sparring with Kermit Cintron and many other good figthers like the Charlo twins and Lanard Lane.

Have you seen Omar spar kermit yet how does he look against him?

[drew_kousk]

Haha this is sick omar is my boy we were trainin together b4 his debut and he loves cotto.. Omar is half puerto rican so u could imagine.. Lol thats mah boy doin big things... Im comin right behind u omar!! No **** lol

[NAPO]

He's a 154lber..has a sick jab..his body attack is serious!..and his right crosses are very very nice too!...

He's a bit bigger than Cotto but they have a very similar style..and I think they can use him for power, speed, and the jab comparisons..looks more similar to Miguel Cotto more so than that Shawn Porter guy who Roach picked..IMO..

He's a Cotto hardcore fan. he won't do it. LOL.
