And these homeys expect Cotto to apply pressure on Floyd, like they always do. Floyd is always expected to fight a boring fight -- fight defensively, and never go for a kill. His opponent is always the one expected to fight aggressively. He's always expected to get the juicy role of countering and potshotting. The result is always a boring UD.
That's why Floyd was a stylistic nightmare for JMM. Marquez didn't get to fight backwards because Floyd would not come forward. JMM was forced to because otherwise nothing will happen.
This new Cotto will fight smart and is a defense-conscious one. He won't come forward like people fool themselves into believing. He will use his bike and potshot Floyd with his left hook. Mayorga had to tell him to come in because he won't. This Cotto will move a lot.
