Comments Thread For: Mosley on Mayweather-Cotto: First 4-5 Rounds Are Crucial

[onetwopunch]

Cotto has 3 rounds to win the fight. By round 4 everything about him will be downloaded and Floyd will go to work.

lol..pretty much. I say if he hasnt landed some significant body shots by the 4th round it will be to late, he needs to work the body early while he is still strong and fresh, cause Floyd just gets stronger as the fight goes on.

Mosley-Mayweather happened "nearly 3 years ago" in 2010 (May)? Can the author not understand simple math?


Who writes this crap?

[flint]

people call him Oldsley because they think he's shot

people call him oldsley because he is old and it rymes and almost matches his name.

Cotto wont tire with the new training hes learn to store energy for each round plus floyd dont attack lol you think 16 punches per round gonna hurt cotto no cotto by decision

Lol 16 punches per round? Ok you have been listening to Roach too much..

i feel like the only way u can beat mayweather is that u need to get him out early, there's no way u can beat him in a decision, cuz u can win the first few rounds against mayweather if u just pressure him, but then mayweather gets stronger as the fight goes on and u would never get a late round stoppage, pretty much go for broke and take ur chances at going for an early knockout and if it doesn't come in the first 3-4 rounds, accept the fact that ur gonna lose

I wont be suprised if Cotto outboxes Floyd in the early rounds when he is strong and fresh, and If Cotto doesnt put money in the bank early (body shots) Floyd will be to strong late in the right and pull out a decesion, I dont see Floyd going in and attacking Cotto trying to blow him out I havent seen that Floyd in a long time..maybe since the Gatti fight and that was close over 5 years ago.

I definitely would because it ain't happening.

My take is, he has a few rounds to set the tone for the rest of the fight. How i see it, cotto's jab will be effective at first, while his left hook wont be too effective. If he cant get anything else going, his jab will be taken away and it will be a long night. But...if he brings his right hand to the fight, that could open up his left hook aswell. And ofcourse, mixing in body work aswell. His right hand is crucial in this imo.

So Floyd wasn't taking Marquez lightly when he came in overweight?

No he had been out for 2 yrs and had grown a little , he thought he would make it just like he always did , with a lay off like that you never know until the weigh-in because making weight is something you dont practice , Floyd made a simple common mistake and is not going to kill himself for that pound ,, not a fighter of his stature and not with the money he has .

Cotto is too slow and too rhythmic for such a fluid smooth accurate puncher like Floyd and Cotto always tires in the run while Floyd never does , if Roger is right when he said Floyd is the sharpest he has been in years Cotto is going to get flogged as Floyd will Tee off him all night .
