Comments Thread For: 'New' Miguel Cotto: Veteran Trainers Saw No Changes

[oc9979]

if it was as bad as foreman why is foreman getting surgery and clottey didn't have a surgery?

I think Miguel differently improved. If anything that Jab he was using against Foreman is going to make him a overall better fighter than in his previous fights.

Exactly, some people are idiots.

Same Cotto he just fought with the right gameplan...

Everyone said Yuri was a stylistic nightmare for Cotto.

No they're saying Yuri was tailor made for Cotto?

I was saying Yuri was tailor made for Cotto even before the fight.

Cotto did a good job, but i understand how there was very little improvement, at this point he hasn't been with Steward that long. With time, if anyone can make Cotto a more well-rounded fighter it would be Steward.

Uh....how you can you say "I understand how there was very little improvement"?

Did you NOT see his jab?
His jab has NEVER looked that good and the power it had too.

Did you not noticed the much improved footwork?

I thought he looked pretty good EXCEPT for those right hands he was taking.....

Agreed, you dont change a boxer overnight. Cotto needs to be groomed over time and so far so good.

if thats the case, then whats been said is true...that cotto still looks more of the same the more of the new...in both sense, i agree that cotto looked more of the same as he did against pac, just as you cant change a boxer overnite...."overnite" meaning first time working together for one fight

i think foremans knee had to do alot with the way he fought...it is hard to throw solid punches without having to plant leg/foot because of the knee problem...but if you did watch when at times foreman was throwing for survival, he did connect on cotto and made it more of a fight...i would think that the fight and outcome wouldve been different without foremans messed up knee

Cotto caused Clottey's knee to get hurt by slamming him on the ground like that. Foreman's knee got injured by itself. That's the difference. That's all I'm trying to say. I never said that Clottey's knee injury was worse than Foreman's. I'm just saying that he did enough to appear to beat Cotto while fighting with an injury. And Cotto's stans forget all about this and say he's back. Lol.

Margarito struggled with Margo...
