The Official Miguel Cotto-Sergio Martinez Master Thread

[Ray Corso]

I can't remember a larger disparage of size in a Middleweight Titled fight!
Back when Basillo vs Sugar Ray their size was about the same as Cotto vs Sergio.

Cotto & Basillo---5'7"ish
Robinson 5' 11" Sergio 5' 10 1/2"

theres a big advantage for Sergio along with being a southpaw with good movement if Cotto can't judge distance and time Sergio's movement!
I think if Cotto pulls this off he has his biggest win and accomplishment!
Sergio must win or whatever he's established will be torn down. His best win was years ago at 147 so it seems right that he defends against a blown up welter on sat.
Both be safe and may the best man win.

Jose Napoles, 5' 7.5"
Carlos Monzon, 5' 11.5"

"Mantequilla" didn't answer the bell for the seventh.

Anyone want to break this fight down in-depth? I'd gladly do it to prove this isn't fanboyism. This is confidence and knowledge that Cotto is KING.

Anybody? mathed, Jloro, ColdBlooded, Cu****uyNYC, Hyacinth, etc.

Let's discuss shall we?

LETS GO PEOPLE! Hit me up!

I've said all I really have to say, bro. The good big man is gonna beat the good little man. That's the long and short of it.

cotto is light on purpose, he is going to try and move around and box to ud win. sergio looks a weight division bigger in the rin when he hydrates to around 167. i think cotto is in trouble

dumb game plan, Martinez has the longer arms and quicker hands

There's no way I can see this fight ending except by Brutal KO or Brutal Stoppage in favor of Martinez. There is no other way.

all depends how aggressive Sergio is, that will determine if the fight goes 12
