For cotto to win he needs to follow the murray blueprint
1. keeps his guard high and tight and not allow serg to potshot.. Cotto should be able to do this, he was effective in blocking alot of floyd's lead right unlike victor ortiz
2. use the jab and double jab to force serg backwards
3. attack the body to slow serg down after a few rounds
4. stay aggressive
If cotto can do those things, i think he has a shot of slowing serg down, and taking over after 6 rounds and with the crowd behind him, i can see cotto getting a close decision unlike murrayComment

Cotto is a skilled fighter, kind of underrated in some ways. Martinez doesn't have good defense and he will be there for Cotto to hit. Especially with the jab. That hands down defense will get exposed so fast.Cotto still getting whooped. Martinez is going to pick him apart and bloody him up to a ko. don't know why people are trying to see something that isn't thier. Martinez only has troubled with guys bigger then him and he still got ko's over some of these opponents. Granted none had the skills of cotto but it don't matter if your a 6-8rd fighter. In a very long time Martinez has been the smaller guy and now he faces a miget it's going be an easy night for Martinez

Great breakdown, agree with everything. He also needs to change between aggression and making Sergio come to him, changing tempo is key IMO. Martinez looked uncomfortable when he had to bring the fight to Macklin and Murray when they shelled up.For cotto to win he needs to follow the murray blueprint
