Cotto looked shot!! Read this

[Hallaqsillaq]

I wasnt all that impressed with Cotto's performance either. He was fighting a guy with Bambi legs. Cotto was knocking him back with jabs for christ sakes. That fight should have been over in 4-5 rounds tops.

Same jab that dropped Clottey.

Cotto looked slow and shot, yah he has a jab but he is no where near what he was b4 margarito. Watch the fight again his legs are not there, reflexes are not there doesnt even go to the body any more. Pac will murder him, martinez will murder him, mosley at 154 will beat him to. Cottos done son

Some analogy, how you are going to hit a target that moved so much on the body. And in the end the body blow stopped the fight. IMO he looked good with somebody that could move so well

The kid also took flush right hands from Santos.

A faded Santos.

He still had power and Foreman took it well.

I think Cotto's speed surprise him.

Later after the jabs he took some flush left hooks and uppercuts.

I don't think the topic starter is considering the circumstances that Cotto was in, he came in to the fight with no confidence or morale & fought at a complete new weight class with a boxer bigger then, what was you expecting a Shane Mosley performance?

He's going to get better at the weight, not sure if he's ready for the elite's at the weight (Williams or Martinez) but he'll get better with confidence.

Same jab that dropped Clottey.

I was going to say the same thing....he has a great jab

about being shot...maybe just a different game plan from a new coach

i think he looked good was moving well just need to work more on defense from that overhand right and he is still leading with his head so he is open to the uppercut

hopefully steward will see that and atleast correct his ability to defend the overhand right

[Black dude]

I tell you this:If Foreman had the jab Miguel would have been in big trouble.
I thought Miguel looked fantastic....his jab was amazing and he moved very well.
Anytime you have a shorter guy out jabbing you your in big trouble thats why I knew Foreman had no chance.

Martinez, maybe. But Mosley aint beating Cotto specially not @ 154

If this thread was on paper it'd be crumbbled and trashed.


He doesnt go to the body but closed it with his signature punch? hm.-1

I dont think ppl understand the magnitude of a movement like yuri has and to stop him on his tracks.It's a difficult style.Considering cotto making a debut at that weight he chose the right opponent.Ive been saying this all along,cotto has an underatted jab that alot of ppl dont see.The same jab that snap mosley's head back and the one that knocked clotty down.


Your pretty much done son.

[Lefty2jabs]

listen if the boxing media wasnt talking about cotto being shot, then nobody wouldve followed.....to say cotto was shot after 2 losses is di****able...and to still say he is shot after foreman is really downplaying cotto and his respect....sure we will know for sure when he fights a marg, a pac 2nd time, or martinez or whatever....but i still see cotto in the mix like he was before fighting pac and after....Cotto maybe mentally a lil hurt but not shot....Though we must see how he fights backwards again...but make your own Valid assessments instead of FOLLOWING what others say like atlas, even steward, i hate when they talk prematurely about somebody's career....

[Lefty2jabs]

and wasnt Foreman too big for Cotto Blah blah blah......like De la Hoya was too big for pac right........Fake ass Assessment saying cotto is shot....the only thing that cotto still has trouble with regardless the foreman fight is speed, footwork, pressure.....though i dont think cotto is shot but i do think he loses by decision in a second pacquiao affair but not as badly as the first time...and with marg, he will have to be ultra offensive, defensive, and movement to beat marg.......even if they say marg hands were wrapped...(cotto's punches did nothing to stop margarito a bit in his tracks)...marg's head cant wear handwraps and with his offensive arsenal that can lead to another loss if marg comes in with the same mentality ''your punches cant hurt me''
