Ricardo will be extremely dangerous for Miguel, given his suspect chin, in the early rounds. Yeah Mayorga is no longer in his prime, but make no mistake, he can still CRACK with them chopping right hands. And at 154lbs, if he lands on Miguel, it could be "lights out" for him.

    Will Cotto stand and trade with Mayorga? Or will he be on his bicycle as he was in the Margarito fight?
    of course he will.

    smartly though.


    mayorga the last few years is there to make good promotional statements , for fun fights and to lose in an entertaining way.

    if you can't beat this version of mayorga in spectacular fashion , you're just not an elite fighter.

      I think we're gonna see better boxer in cotto, I saw a big improvement in his balance the last fight (some didn't) but I think cotto is gonna really outbox mayor n go heavy on the body
      I'm looking forward to this

        Let's remember who he was fighting... a one legged paper champ who can't crack an egg. We all know Mayorga is past his best days, it'll be interesting to see how much Cotto has left and how well he can cope with a naturally larger power puncher.

          He'll probably exchange with Mayorga some, but it'll all be one-way, similar to DLH vs Mayorga. A disciplined boxer like Cotto is not going to have trouble beating Mayorga to the punch, on the inside or the outside.

            I dunno about trading but cotto better attack that body early and often. cotto better not get trigger happy cause mayorga's chin is open to be hit.

                  No he is a smart fighter and knows its Mayorgas only chance, he will show him movement, spear him with the jab and work the body at every chance before getting the stoppage anywhere from 6 - 11 rounds in.
