Is Cotto vs Yuri a tuneup?

[Ravishing]

Angulo = Margarito = trouble for Cotto....Lefty

I'm not too sold on that idea. I think Angulo in the same way is some what of a pressure fighter, but he also hasn't withstood serious shots just yet and even Cotto at 150-152 would do some damage on Angulo who like Margarito isn't the best defender. Margarito physically is a much bigger dude than Cotto as where Angulo may be heavier, but not too sure if he'd go toe to toe willingly against Cotto.

I think what killed Cotto in the fight with Marg is Marg's ability to withstand those punches Cotto was landing. You put any WW that night in there with Cotto and they possibly could've been dropped or taken out. But who knows, we may see Cotto vs Angulo if Cotto looks good at 154.

angulo gets stopped by cotto.

If Yuri wins he will face Pac
If Cotto wins he will face Margarito

So Angulo is a cheating scumbag like Margarito? What a disgrace!

[LilGizmo562]

If Cotto faces Angulo, he is going to box carefully, because if and that is a huge IF...Angulo is able to withstand Cotto's best shots, then I see Cotto crumbling and get on his bicycle and it will not end good for him, now if he is able to hurt Angulo, then I see him winning on points (if he plays it safe) or possibly a late stoppage...what ever happens it will be a good fight.

I wouldn't call Cotto vs Yuri a tuneup or a megafight, it's just a solid matchup. Yuri's a live dog but he's not exactly the crem de la crem of JMW's

agreed, if Cotto wants to stick around the 154 division he'd be advised not to fight Angulo

Why does everyone say that?..

I use to think the same thing..but lately I don't see it at all..Angulo's stamina and activity isn't half of Margarito's..Angulo's got a hell of a chin..but he can be outboxed a lot easier than Margarito..he's not as active..
