Cotto Changing his Corner, McGirt and Shields are leading Candidates

[El 7 Mares V.2]

I don't like either of them but they are definitely leagues away than the inexperienced Santiago. I think Cotto's best work came in the hands of his uncle Evangelista, despite of all the bad blood between them.

GTFO!?!? LOL!! You trying to kick me out of your e-house??

I think Nacho would had been the perfect fit, but again anything but Santiago is a improvement!

I've always thought Ronnie Shields was a great trainer. That would be a very good choice for Cotto.

McGirt always says the right things in the corner, but for some reason the dude just seems cursed lately.

If Cotto wants to extend his career he really needs an experienced trainer. Anybody is better than Santiago at this point. Can't be surronded no more by yes men

He would be perfect for Cotto in my opinion. But I just can't see Cotto going to Mexico to train.

The highly rated trainers Ronnie Shields and Buddy McGirt continue playing strongly as potential candidates to replace Joe Santiago on the corner of former WBO welterweight champion, Miguel Cotto , who succumbed in his last fight by TKO in 12 rounds against the Filipino Manny Pacquiao.

According to reports, Shields and McGirt, is not only being considered to head the corner of someone nicknamed 'Junito' who according to plans by the promoter Bob Arum, president of Top Rank, will reappear on June 12 at Madison Square Garden against Yuri Foreman, owner of the WBA 154 lbs.

But Joe, who is also the match maker of Promociones Miguel Cotto, would not be out of the working group as neitehr would be South African Phil Landman, his conditioning coach, who allegedly would begin to train the former champ in the Añbergue Olimpico in March .

"We will be sitting down to talk more specifically on the corner and his next fight with our pormoter,"said Gaby Penagaricano legal counsel.

Incidentally, the corner of two-time world champion in different categories has a vacancy with the passing of his father recently Miguel Cotto Carrasquillo, who was acting manager in addition.

For the Pacquiao brawl with Cotto Carrasquillo worked well in the red corner his brother Jose Miguel and Santiago as head coach and cuts expert, Joe Chavez.

Oh man... well at least Buddy doesn't bother stopping a fight if his fighter gets beaten up...

Shields? I don't know... his gameplan for Malignaggi II was bad... all-time bad

He would be perfect for Cotto in my opinion. But I just can't see Cotto going to Mexico to train.

Me neither, but that would be awesome. Cotto trining wth Nacho in Mexico. He can go to the hills there to run and get way better stamina.
