Erislandy Lara vs Miguel Cotto at MSG

[New England]

today i have little doubt that cotto would come up short on points.

in his prime it would be a much more interesting fight. ithink he takes it. if angulo can land the left hook, so can cotto. tey don't fight the same, but cotto is a step above angulo in terms of both speed and sharpness, and leaps beyond him in timing and setup.

Lara is fast, young, big, and strong... Not a fight Cotto will survive

[KickAzz]

Bad style match up for cotto, but lara is about as vulnerable as he ever was... slight edge to lara just cause he has the weight advantage

[CubanGuyNYC]

Even at his best, Cotto is a little too small for 154. Given the fact that Miguel is past prime, Lara has to be favored.

[SD180sx]

Lara win by UD or late round ko/tko against the aging Cotto.

[Bermuda]

erislandy by UD...

[El Angel]

Did he sign or just went back for the fight? I thought he was still a FA?

Still a FA, but I think he likes the fights TR can give him more than GBP. I'd be very surprised if he fought with GBP after he beats Rodriguez.

[Bushidō]

damn I still remember Lara smacking P Will around with his left

[baya]

i'd fully expect for the ref to stop this fight in lara's favor around the 10th.

Who Wins

Lara or cotto

Y'all sleeping on Cotto... Lara almost lost to El Perro... Y'all saying El Perro is better than Cotto??? Im not giving a triangle theory... I'm just saying El Perro vs Lara was not a technical fight... Cotto's last two fights were technical, meaning Cotto can keep his composure and stick to his game plan... Lara wasn't able to... Experience matters sometimes...
