Comments Thread For: Cotto vs. Mayweather: The Trainers Prediction Roundtable

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ronnie Shields (Mayweather): “It’s a great fight, but I just think Floyd Mayweather. I think they realized that the kid’s really a southpaw and that the best side he has is his left side. I think they have to take that away right away, and I think Floyd will take his left hand from him right away. I think it’s going to be a good fight because Miguel Cotto is one of the best fighters out there. He’s going to fight with all his heart, but I just think that Floyd is a step ahead, so I’m going to pick him by unanimous decision.”

What was the point of this trainer's roundtable and predictions, if they all said the same thing about Mayweather winning and he's too fast...? I would think it would be some mix of opinions..what's the point then? we know may is the favorite-- helloooo

Mayweather by TKO 10

The 10th or 11th seems to be the popular predication for a stoppage. Im sticking with Floyd in 11.

The point is the same as how every big fight also brings in predictions from boxers and other writers — I call trainers to give their informed analyses on who wins, how and why. Just because everyone agrees doesn't mean their opinions aren't somewhat interesting.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for the feedback.

i think it's really just a question whether or not floyd can get that tko. cotto should really be nothing new to mayweather. ortiz hasn't landed anything meaningful on him in those 4 rounds, and has been feverishly countered for every mistake.
not expecting cotto to be any better.
