Comments Thread For: Steward: Miguel Cotto-Yuri Foreman is a "50-50 Fight"

[BritishBoxing92]

Trainer Emanuel Steward is predicting a very hard contest when Miguel Cotto, a former champion at 140 and 147-pounds, moves up in weight to 154-pounds to challenge undefeated WBA champion Yuri Foreman on June 5 in Yankee Stadium located in New York. [Click Here To Read More]

Pretty Much Since Miguels Just Changed Trainers And Has Just Came Off A Loss And Moved Up To A Higher Weight Division But Is Also A Veteran Fighter With Alot Of KOs, Yuri Foreman Is Also A Good Fighter Maybe Not As Many Knockouts But Can Still Produce A Good Show...So Yes Steward Is Right

Cotto will have problems with Foreman's ability to box combined with his height advantage. He's got to find a way to get inside and go to the body which is Cotto's specialty.

If you take the time to watch Foreman fight you realize he has pretty good skills. He doesn't come off as a feather fisted fighter either when watching him fight.

Cotto is a WW at best. Although he has some boxing skill, he needs to impose his size and will on his opponents to win. Can he do this after 3 grueling fights? I just don't know.

Foreman won't be that hard to track down for Cotto. He's the best in the business at cutting off the ring. I do think he'll take his usual stiff counter punches though, and if he can withstand those then it's not a matter of will it's a matter of how Cotto will win.

This is the style made for Cotto, if it were under different circumstances, it'd be a win. If you think Cotto is still game mentally, physically then you should be confident in a Cotto win.

anyone else tired of steward constantly hyping up foreman to be this world beater just so that he looks good as a trainer if cotto dominates and covers his own ass if cotto loses? foreman is a tough fight but as cottos trainer why show such doubt in your fighter

I agree. I think it's bullshiiit. Why the ****k would Stewart make those comments to the media about Cotto. Does he not think Cotto has it anymore during training? He's definitely not helping cotto's confidence or ego making these ****** predictions.

Steward is just saying this to make it look better when/if Cotto wins. He doesn't actually think this.

i agree that steward..........is covering his ass............
