For the purist guys here .... let's talk boxing.
Roach made the statement that he doesn't make note of the mistakes Cotto makes - he notices his habits.
What do you view as Cotto good and bad habits????
And conversely - What are Manny's good and bad habits that can be exploited????
Cotto:
He plants his feet too solidly for his powershots
- This will allow Manny to pivot around, gaining a positional advantgage.
He has that high guard with elbows spread too far apart
- This will give Manny several uppercut opportunities.
He leans over excessively while on defence, exposing his flank for attacks
- Manny has been working extensively on rotating body shots and this habit will make those kidney shots available.
Manny:
He leaps in with his shots\combinations
- This will give Cotto a chance to land a powerjab, displacing Manny's charge and flooring him.
He gets locked into pattern punching during fights i.e. leap in right followed by the left.
- Cotto will quickly recongnize this pattern and start to time Manny's attacks.
He has a habit of being too aggresive
- This will give Cotto several chances to exploit mistakes
What do ya think???
