That is a nasty uppercut at 9:43

His balance was the first thing I saw get better, he's not putting all his weight on his left foot with the jab. I saw someone mention his jab doesn't look as powerful and I think thats why, which I see as a positive. Sure the jab lost some pop, but he's able to pump out two or three now with a decent right hand coming to life it seems. He's also doubling up a lot more of them, while moving backward as well.

Foreman is no Pacquiao and no cheating Margarito! Cotto looks good and will beat Foreman. Hes just on another level than Foreman. Im just not shure if KO or UD, both possible.

I don't see Foreman beating Cotto, just not on the same class. Cotto all the way!!!!

I'm liking how Miguel looks, Manny seems to have been a nice fit for Miguel.

Could we possibly be seeing Cotto in the Kronk yellow trunks this Saturday? :wank:

Haven't seen cotto training like that in a long time. He looks really good throwing those uppercuts. Foreman is in for a tough night.

Cotto does look more balanced and with more lateral movements. I have always thought that Cotto has not use his boxing skills to the maximum of his ability, especially when he chosses to exchange blows instead of moving in and out.
My only concern is that Cotto does in fact listens to his corner and stick to the game plan, and if the game plan does not work, trust his corner on the plan B or C. I noticed several times with his Uncle and even with Joe Santiago, that his corner gave several instructions and he would not listen, especially when it come to the corners request not to stay and exchange blows with his opponent.
For those of us that have followed Cotto thru his extensive amateur career and thru all his pro fights, we know that Cotto is a better defensive fighter than he has shown. The problem is that when you have a great KO ratio, you start to beleive that you can KO everybody out and that will not be true and then you will face guys like Margarito, Clottey that can take a punch you have to go back to your boxing skills and stop fighting like a brawler.
