    Rewatched Cotto-Foreman and...

    ... Miguel ****d the rabbi. Yuri can't handle Cotto's crisp jabs. Once he tasted it very early in the first round he didnt wanna get near it again. That's the reason he overused his legs and it eventually gave in in the middle rounds. However, what contributed to making Foreman's legs to become worse???

    Considering PAC did to Miguel what the latter is doing to all his opponents, brutalizing them, gotta give major props to the man.

    Yuri has had a bad leg since childhood

    Its never really interferred with him boxing, but he has worn a brace forever and his knee just gave out against Cotto

      His footwork was great in that fight, there was one point where he was moving in synch with Foreman, someone has a gif of it.. looked like they were dancing.

            Yuri perfected that lateral shuffle style of boxing. He has boxed like that as long as I've watched him. I cannot imagine the thousands of minutes he put on in perfecting his boxing style. The knee can't hold up to the constant pounding. I read somewhere that Basketball players generally suffer knee injuries after 10,000 games. I dont know what that translates in terms of boxing rounds but you spar 10x more than you actually box in a fight ao I am sure over time an already injured knee has got to give completely.

                You call draining Cotto downto 145 a fair fight? I'm not saying Cotto beats him at 147 let alone 154 but don't call it a "fair" fight when you make your opponent adhere to weight loss for the sole task of weakening him.

                  Yuri, imo just has nothing for Cotto. He is not as skilled and doesn't hit hard enough to keep Cotto off him.
