Cotto didn't look stronger than Pac to me.

Pac has those monster lats. Which incidentally, were crucial for Pac's biggest shot on Cotto of the fight.

And as you can see...I picked the right fighter to win.

Kessler wins this.






btw... your avatar is wack.

how ? considering the lats funtction as a pulling muscle... the legs,shoulders and triceps are more important for power

for his half hook, half uppercut, that he landed on Cotto in the 4th.

It was an unconventional shot...watch the replay..

It was an unconventional shot...that used unconventional muscle groups..

the lats are activated when pulling the arms in towards the body not pushing them away ... a punch is obviously pushing the arms away from the body ...

Kessler looks one mean mutha****a!

Thats a simplified definition for lats.

Perfect for a bodybuilder/weighthead in a gym, perhaps...

It may be activated one way..but ultimately it effects both ranges of movement.

Pac's shot wasn't pushed straight out. To put in your terms, it was as if he was doing a pullup in reverse, only held closer in.

Plus lats are separated into a couple categories...

also if you want to get technical..it effects all these areas...

Shoulder

* Adduction
* Extension
* Internal Rotation
* Transverse Extension

Scapula (Assists)

* Depression
* Downward Rotation
* Adduction


Especially of note is how it helps ROTATION

Kessler won.

[thekubrick]

Ward is going to do the miranda on him which means grinding up on kessler on the ropes.

Ward looked away quite abit. Stare downs fon't win you fights though
