Cotto vs Harris: Who Wins

[elveiel]

He throws his right from long range

I know but Cotto's pretty mobile and has a good defence at range, the right will obviously hit sometimes but the styles make it less likely. Maybe Harris will beat Cotto but my money on Cotto.

Cotto hasnt shown to many weaknesses but i'd say fighter like Tszyu and Hatton would have the best chance against him, i think Cotto's defence(high hands, movement) could struggle against a mobile pressure fighter would can **** to the body.

I also think Mayweathers in and out tactics could earn a UD over Cotto.

But like i said Cotto not shown any weakness, maybe because of the level of opposition but it means i'm only guessing.

I don't know guys I'm not sure . . . but I'm definitely rooting for Cotto.

I have never seen the guy Vivian Harris fight, but I have seen Cotto. Pinto is a good fighter, and sad to say he made Pinto look bad. Remember, Pinto had beat Cotto twice in their amauter careers, and he said that Cotto was not the same fighter. I did notice that when Pinto boxed him and stayed on the outside that he did manange to do a little better vs. Cotto. But as soon as he started trading shots with him, it was over. So I guess Cotto CAN be outboxed. If there's a fighter out there who can be disciplined enough to box the entire time and not trade punches with him, then they might have a chance. But Cotto will be very hard to stop, IMO. I have not seen a fighter with such explosiveness in a long time. Maybe I'm not watching the right fights.

I predict it will be a victory for Miguel Cotto and there's big chance that this fight will go to distance with Cotto winning on unanimous decision. I'am not really impressed by Vivian Harris, although I considered him a good fighter. Let's wait if this fight will happen.

He has shown his biggest weakness by getting boxed from the outside

The level of opposition has alot to do with how good he has looked. We will find out alot about Cotto after the Corley fight

Cotto has trouble with tall ranging fighters. Pinto was doing good in his fight with Cotto, WHEN he was fighting on the outside. That's were Harris comes in. Harris will give Cotto BIG problems. Harris has a punch that Cotto might not handle. With Manny Stewart on Harris side, I really think he will beat Cotto as of right now. Cotto is still green, that plays into my prediction as well. To top it off, Harris is HUNGRY dying for attention! He won't let this opportunity past him by. This fight needs to be done.

Well, Carlos Mausa was having trouble with Cotto and he was trying to fight from the outside, too. Pinto had one good round, that's it. Cotto has no problem with rangy fighters that I can see. Just because one fighter fought at range for a round and won it doesn't imply trouble with them. Maybe it took Cotto a round to figure out how to close the distance, ever think of it that way?

I think Cotto's devastating body attack (especially on a taller fighter with so much torso) would be the difference in him winning by late KO or by UD.

Mausa and Pinto are not on Harris level. The stuff that works against those weaker opponents dont always work against the best. If Harris hit's him with one of those big rights he will be in trouble

I dont understand why people say Pinto was outboxing Cotto

Pinto used his extra reach a couple of times and landed with the jab, it was Pinto's willingness to trade&pressure that unsettled Cotto.

IMO the only person who could outbox Cotto from the outside is Mayweather, Using in and out tactics and mixing jab to head and body, maybe a couple of lead rights.

Cotto had trouble with Pinto, right. Watch the fight again he made Pinto look like a bum. Once Cotto kills Corley people will see he is for real.
