Cotto Batters Branco To Win

[-Antonio-]

Man he slowly wore Branco down. It was similar to the abdullev sp? fight. He just slowly hurts people. I guess all you have to do is look at his opponents faces to see his power and damage. Although Cotto is fighting good fighters I think its time for him to word class fighters. Hatton, Mayweather, Castillo....

cotto's turning into the guy who can TKO the toughest of opponents. he was the 1st to stop corley and was the 1st to stop branco and torres.

im impressed with cotto, but he still has his flaws.

I agree, he has flaws, but he is young and willing to learn. What is respectable about Cotto is that he understands that each fight gives him experience and exposes him to different styles. His management is doing a great job in providing solid opposition with differnt styles to improve the capabilities of this young and somewhat green star. He admits that he has alot to learn and that is admirable. Its true what Emmanuel Stuard said, "I don't recall when was the last time a guy has beat so many fighters that end up quiting because their arms or bodies hurt so much". Ceballos, Abdulaev, Bazan, and now Branco all had to quit because of the utter beating that Cotto dishes out.

some of those body punches cotto was landing sounded like gunshots. i would not want to get hit in the body by that guy!!!just by looking at italy's face and body reactions when they landed on him, you knew they were serious.

Cotto is being managed perfectly to this point. Hes opponents are hand picked, however they are not "bums" they are good fighters. Im not gonna lie and say I dont want him to face Hatton and Gatti now, hes not ready for mayweather just yet though.

[PapiShasho]

I think after Malignani or whatever his name is, he needs to step up to some better fights...

there's a lot of good fights out there for him, but i'd stay away from mayweather for now...hatton, gatti, or castillo are all good fights that would earn him some respect.

ur sig is so ****ing kool....

anyway, i think Malignaggi's speed and movement might give Cotto trouble, but i dont think he has the power to keep Cotto off of him

Branco just did not look comfortable, just like how he looked against Gatti. He has fast hands and counters very well, but his lack of power is what prevented it from being hard competion for Cotto. I agree that after Paul, if that fight even happens, he should fight stiffer opponents. Corrales might not be a bad option, and there was talk about a fight with Gatti if he beat Baldomir.

branco laid back on the ropes and just let cotto rip away at him, its no ****in wonder he couldnt move his arms.

cotto looks like hes a weight class above everyone he fights
