Comments Thread For: Roach: Cotto Will Come in at 166, Knock Geale Out

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to trainer Freddie Roach, WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto will weigh around 166-pounds by the time he steps in the on Saturday night against former champion Daniel Geale at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Cotto demanded a catch-weight of 157-pounds for the bout and weighed in at 153.6 pounds, which is actually under the junior middleweight limit. Geale squeezed down to the limit of 157-pounds and struggled to do so.

The game plan put together by Roach is to target the body and break it down until Geale goes down for the count.

cant wait for this fight and in person I get to enjoy seeing cotto destroy this cry baby the old cotto is back

roach, only way your fighters knock someone out if they fight and drain them at catchweights, use peds like pac, or fight someone old and shot, or all 3 of them, which pac has done all the time. when pac fought someone young and that could move he got his ass kicked. bradley, marquez, money!!!

Roach is a joke. I can not believe Pacquiao has not dumped his ass after that abject performance against Mayweather, Cotto will be humiliated by Geale and Roach will be dispensed.

Ah yes, the typical Roach KO prediction that never happens lol. Wait, nm that's Pac that can't KO anyone sorry. Cotto should pull through but I would def laugh if Geale beat him or worked him over. I used to like cotto more but ever since he went to Roach he has become a ducking catch weight diva. But thats what wild card is about so. Strategic opponent picking to fool the world. Cotto is the next manny, picking opponents that make him look like a killer. I'd love to see cotto get beaten up and outboxed by Lara, Canelo or GGG. I think the Charlo brothers would work him over too. You won't see cotto in with anyone I mentioned though. Roach-style Magic.

I was trolling and backing up Cotto, I still am but this is equivalent to Floyd being proud he had a spy in Manny's camp. Roach is proud he physically drained Geale it seems, that's pathetic. You drained him and he agreed to it, great. No need to be gloating now you already got what you wanted.

[Larry the boss]

How much pride can you take in making a plan to drain someone that is not even an elite fighter while actually saying the person who knocked him out in 3 rounds last year has not fought anyone?

Pac may have needed a change of coaches but the fight was closer than many say.

Why did Cotto drain himself to 153.6 ???

[Nomadic]

Targeting the body is a good place to start, especially without it's natural padding.
