Marquez Article on Cotto vs FMJr.

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

Marquez was being nice to COtto as he obviously has stated repeatedly that he believes FMJR is the Best.

Cotto has no chance unless he can turn back the the clock and not be fat.

[JOM'S]

On an interview by the El Nuevo Dia (PR News Paper) Juan Marquez advised Miguel to pressure FMJr., watch the counter punching, pressure FMJr., attack with combinations and watch and wait for the counterpunching.

He also stated that FMJr. is a great counterpuncher and has an outstanding defense.



He went to say that the most dificult will be to connect on FMJr. because he protects himself with shoulders and elbows. That he uses anything but his dont consider him as a dirty fighter.



Marquez also stated that Cotto will give FMJr. problems that this will be a very dificult fight for both fighters.



Lastly he closed by saying that FMJr. figths would be quite a bit more entretaining if he took more chances. If he takes more chances this could be a very interesting fight. But, if FMJr. takes chances.....Cotto, who is a great fighter, will capitalize on that and give (Cotto) the advantage.

Cotto needs to stand his ground, not rush in fighting aggressively and try to do the countering instead of the other way around. If nothing happens and the crowd starts booing, ignore it. Of course, Floyd's sneaky potshots will eventually find their targets and Cotto would try to get back, get frustrated and careless. Wrong move. Just be patient, insist on Floyd to come in and fight. If he doesn't, let him get booed until he comes forward.

Sometimes he did but Oscar was in that fight all the way to the 10th, at least, it was super close. Floyd really did not nullify the jab throughout. I saw him missing a lot, gettin tagged and running a lot and answering with one punch. I saw an older Oscar fail to use his jab, without it being exactly nullified. There were just a few rounds he abandoned it all together. I say Cotto's heavy hands behind that jab, and the way he double and triples it throughout the fight, is better than Oscars.

Spot on analysis from Marquez. What else would you expect?

[ThePunchingBag]

Only thing I disagree with him on was when he said Mayweather's defense isn't dirty.

Mayweather can get dirty at times when he starts sticking the elbow and forearms into a guys throat. That **** isn't in any Boxing textbook I've ever heard of.

Other than that, spot on analysis. Marquez's Boxing IQ rivals Mayweather's own.

Marquez is a boxing genius

Mayweather gets dirty, when only his opponent decides to.

The way to beat Floyd is there, people just get lured into Floyd's webb of confusion. If a fighter would understand that they're not going to be any good technically & take what Floyd offers they'd have a chance. Floyd offers shoulders, hips & fore arms, beat the $h!t outa those steadily for 8-9 rounds & watch as Floyd wears down, fighters just won't do it.

[ßringer]

As much as I respect him - Marquez didn't exactly blow the lid off of anything with his analysis. It's no secret to anybody who has been watching Mayweather fight for more than 5 years that steady pressure,and an effective jab are tantamount to success against him.

I honestly expected a better breakdown from someone like Marquez, a guy who I consider one of the 5 best technical fighters of the last 20 years, on this one. Not just "be smart, pressure him, and counter".

Anybody can say that **** - including half of the 'tards that populate NSB, because I've seen them repeat it a million times before.
