Not impressed with Diaz and the directions he gave Cotto

[Hitman18]

Im wondering if anyone else is also unimpressed with Diaz. I didnt hear much direction in between rounds other than to tie Margs up and push him off / turn him. I didnt hear anything regarding what punches to throw. He shouldve told him to throw uppercuts, stay inside more, use more lateral movement and stop moving straight back, use the jab more, and other things. All i kept hearing was "push him back, keep moving." Imo Cotto was making a lot of mistakes and exerted way too much energy with all that movement. Diaz didnt seem to correct any of this and didnt give Cotto a lot of direction other than what he kept telling him over and over.

I wasn't impressed at all.

All those that are amazed by Cotto's performence, don't know shit about boxing.

Cotto is lucky Tony had one eye cause he was in for some trouble.

I also agree that I was not impressed. Also pushing a fighter is illegal so I hope that wasn't the plan all along or Cotto might be deducted or lost in strategy in future fights.

Bro get outta here you sound so bitter.

Margarito didn't do half of the work early that he did in the first fight, Cotto was not gonna fade like he did in the first fight.

How are people hating on Diaz? Cotto fought a completely different fight, the smart fight. Circled all night, tied up, and pushed off....that was ALL Diaz.

The circling and pushing off was brilliant but the strategy seemed to imply that they were more intent on defense rather than offense. Might just be me but i wouldve liked to see more gun fire from Cotto.

The same people criticizing Diaz for not telling Cotto what punches to throw are the same ones who praise Yoel Judah for demonstrating combinations on Zab Judah and making sound effects while he does them.

One thing many fans don't understand is that you punch where you see an opening. In my opinion, the only time you should tell a fighter what specific punch to throw is when he is having trouble finding openings..
Cotton had no trouble finding openings lastnight.

You fags think a fighter starts at the beginning of the round saying to himself I'm gonna uppercut him to death or I'm gonna focus on the straight right, no.. I doesn't work like that. Throwing the punch where you see the opening is instinctive for a fighter.
