Cotto-Abdullaev round by round

[Bombardier]

I think everyones flaws come out at some point, but its good to discover them sooner than later so that you can work on them. I think Cotto's biggest flaw right now is his inability to cope with the right hand upstairs from time to time.

I agree that Floyd can punch at 140. It's not so much his power that makes his punching hard its more of the speed, technique, and accuracy that make the punches crack. The fact that Floyd can throw quick shots that Cotto wouldn't be able to see troubles me, but it could be worked on.

I'd be a little worried about Cotto's endurance, as well, he seemed to be slowing up at bit in the middle rounds, and even at the end of the fight he was looking a little tired. He would have carried the decision regardless but if he gets into a long shooting match he better be ready for it.

I just can't pick anyone over Mayweather at this point. However as we have seen in the last month or so anything can happen in boxing, so you never know. Cotto is definitely someone you can't discount at this point.

Yea abdiel I dont know what fight you were watching but Cotto put on a good boxing show against Abby. The only thing is that Abby didnt punch enough. I would like to see someone who comes forward and actually punches (Hatton) to fight Cotto.

Damn so much hating on Cotto....What the **** he has to do to earn some respect? He did TKO this guy....Abdulaev is Cotto's biggest test so far and Cotto beat the **** out of him...

Man abdiel I cant believe you really had Aby winning the fight b4 the stoppage...

His endurance would be a bit better against a guy he doesn't have to move away from too though. His endurance looked a bit worse against N'Dou and Abbie because they were pressuring him so much. Cotto's not really going to have to worry about that from Floyd. Floyd's really not the type to wear you out with pressure...he does it more with his ability to make you punch yourself out by slipping/ducking your shots.

I always said that if anyone would beat Floyd it'd be Cotto so I have to hold true to that. I think Miguel should go after a guy like Vivian Harris now though...and then maybe Floyd or Hatton...

Early in the fight there were times when it seemed like everyone who was su****ious about his abilties was correct. He was taking a lot of shots and getting worn out in a hurry. However he came on later and started to dominate. However, people's impressions will be based a lot on what they saw in the early going.

Just don't bet on it...

clear your pm box

If Cotto/Harris was signed I'd bet every penny in my bank that Cotto would KO him.
