Comments Thread For: Cotto-Foreman: Deal Reached For Yankee Stadium Bout

[savorduhflavor]

How u pullin that one savor?..

I said I'll go again this year especially with the fact that it's in Yankee stadium only if Cotto replaces Santiago as his head trainer and either gets his uncle Evangelista or another worthy name..otherwise I'm sittin my ass at home to watch this..

Job...we'll see though. I'm very confident in getting free tickets, ringside ones might be a tall order.

hell yeah...coto will be back better than ever......

Bxoing will return to Yankees Stadium for the first time since Muhammad Ali fought Ken Norton on Sept. 28, 1976.

The **** is "Bxoing" how do you typo the very first word... honestly???

Watching the fight in Yankee stadium sounds good, but I couldn't imagine sitting any further back than I was when I saw Cotto/Mosley. I'd rather watch it at home in HD.

The only way I'll be happy if this fight ends up on regular HBO is if they throw a good undercard fight on there. Of course I'm saying this because people know I'm not the biggest Cotto fan on here, but stop to think about it. Is this really gonna be a good fight just because of the location? And Foreman is a boring fighter to watch by far. I think if HBO does decide to pick up the fight, they are gonna regret it and it will be another miscalculated move on their part like spending several million dollars on a Dawson-Tarver rematch.

It's up to Cotto to make this fight exciting, which to his credit he is more than capable of in my opinion because of his willingness to pressure the hell out of fighters without the power to hurt him. But then is that really exciting? Is it gonna be a one-sided sparring match like Gomez-Cotto, Jennings-Cotto, or Branco-Cotto. That doesn't get my blood pumping either. HBO should kick this fight to the curb.

Only interested in seeing how Cotto looks at the new weight. I don't expect a very good fight. As of now, I think anything beyond Foreman is a mistake for Cotto at 154. Perhaps he'll show something there that surprises, but I doubt it.

I'm a Cotto fan and I'm not interested in this fight either. Arum is using the stadium to help sell the fight. It's working with Pacquiao/Clottey and he's going to put it to the test again.

Bxoing will return to Yankees Stadium for the first time since Muhammad Ali fought Ken Norton on Sept. 28, 1976. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, who promotes both fighters and handled the Ali-Norton event in 1976, confirmed to the Associated Press that a deal was reached with the Yankees organization to hold Yuri Foreman vs. Miguel Cotto at the stadium on June 5.

I've never heard of a fighter getting a title shot on two occasions coming off knockout losses. If it has happened, somebody refresh my memory. It's just been a vacant belt odysee for little Kneeguel.
