Comments Thread For: Roach: Miguel Cotto Will End Martinez in Four Rounds

[bigjavi973]

For all those who THINKS that martinez is the better fighter. He has been dropped in his past four fights. Got a gift decision in his last fight vs murray. He beat an old pavlik who has only jermaine taylor has his notable win. An old taylor as a matter of fact who arthur abraham did better than pavlik. Chavez jr. didn't throw any punches until the last round, because he is the type of fighter who needs to set his feet to throw those big shots, so since he was down on the scorecard he just started swinging punches and dropped martinez. Matthew macklin is a nobody, darren barker is a nobody, Serhiy Dzinziruk is a nobody, Paul Williams was a good fighter but he did lose to carlos quintana, and they would have fought a 3rd time but williams got into that accident. Erislandy Lara got robbed in that Pwilliams fight. He couldn't even beat kermit cintron convincingly, and as a puertorican I can tell you cintron is ass. Other than those fighters, he has fought plenty of bums in spain and argentina to pad up that record. Oh, and when he fought for the 1st time in nevada, he got ko'd by margacheatoh and then went back to spain to fight more bums. Now, styles makes fights. I see some people here saying that cotto gets hit alot. yes he did, thats because whenever he used to throw punches he would switch up his stance and that was when he was vounorable(spellcheck). Cotto understands that now that roach pointed that out to him, (the main reason pacquiao was even able to tag him so many times). Stylistically wise, He is back to the old cotto, dig that hook to the liver, something that he has gotten away from in recent years due to his different trainers. Mayweather knows this, (dont get mad mayweather fanboys, im just using him as an example). When cotto was 31-0 and just beat mosley, he was a body hooking machine. Then, a month later after the ricky hatton fight, mayweather retired saying that he has nothing left to prove, meanwhile cotto and him was in the same weight division. He only unretired after cotto lost to margarito, changed trainers, changed his STYLE of fighting, giving up the left hook to the body for a jab and being more defensive.

WAR COTTO!!!! PUNETA!!!!

Cotto is not garbage but he is just too small for the higher divisions and Cotto doesn't have this devastating punching power but Martinez does and Cotto gets hit a lot.

Excuse me? Martinez has good pop but he aint no devastatimg puncher.

Besides height and weight, Cotto does everything better than Martinez, better jab and timming, better technique, better defense, better body puncching etc.

As soon as Martinez stops moving(wich will be around, round 4-5) he is doomed!

[ColdBlooded]

Martinez is taller and rangier than Cotto. He hits harder than Cotto. He takes a better punch than Cotto. He's faster than Cotto. He has much better stamina than Cotto. He has more punch versatility than Cotto. He's a better outside fighter than Cotto. He's a better counterpuncher than Cotto. He's beaten much better opposition in recent years. Martinez has beaten large middleweights. Cotto has struggled with the size of junior middleweights.

martinez is taller and rangier... does not hit harder than cotto... a bunch of bums that he kod from spain and argentina does not even count. Faster, maybe feet wise but cotto has handspeed as well, I guess you must have not watched the cotto vs mosley fight. Stamina, yes cuz he was a bicycle runner. Punch versatility, nope. Theres hooks, uppercuts, straights and jabs, and cotto throws those as well. Cotto is not a counter puncher. So comparing a counterpuncher with someone who is not makes you sound dumb. Hes beaten better competition? Yea, sure. He lost his last fight, murray got robbed. I guess you didn't see that fight either. "cotto has struggled with the size of jr middleweights." Styles makes fights. Learn that, then come comment again. Loser.
