I called this fight before they were even in talks to make it. I think that it will be a good fight for Cotto to come back with and I think that he will settle well at 154 pounds. The extra weight that can keep on instead of shedding trying to make 147 should make a difference. From a style standpoint, Foreman is tactical and he takes his time. He is thinks alot and he is a good boxer. He doesn't have one punch knockout power, but he is good young fighter. This is clearly his bigger test to date.
On the other hand, this is a good opponent for Cotto. Foreman can't hurt Cotto with anything big, so he should be fine in that department. I see Miguel pressing the fight from the first bell in a controlled attack. I just hope that he is still hungry after two big losses and I think this is a perfect comeback fight for him.
cotto has no chance imo...foreman's size and reach advantage will be too much. foreman will box him all night
I'm a big Cotto fan, but this is what I'm afraid of. Hopefully Cotto will prove my fears to be groundless by catching Yuri and puttin' a beatdown on him, but I'm thinkin' Cotto loses a close boxing match. Yuri by close UD or SD.
Indeed Foreman has the size advantage but he doesn't have the power to keep Cotto at bay and once Cotto gets inside then he will go to work similar to the Jennings fight.
