Comments Thread For: Arum: Roach Gives Cotto Edge In Close Canelo Fight

[RichCCFC]

Canelo is more two handed than Cotto though.. or has more two handed power at least.

It's a very interesting match up.

cotto will KO canelo with a left hook easily.

Canelo's hand speed takes away one of Cotto's biggest assets in his own speed. Miguel's brother may end up having had more success with Canelo than Miguel does.

Agreed. Cotto's left is probably better than Alvarez' right or left individually but he hasn't much going on with the right at all. I see Canelo's speed troubling Cotto early though.

Who in the world thinks Canelo is fast? Seriously what boxing do you guys watch, he isn't fast at all. He throws good combination but fast... please, he isn't fast at all. He looks foolish again for 8 to 9 rounds, wins 2 maybe 3 and will get credit for 5. He's losing either way, he doesn't have the style to beat Cotto. A flat footed counter puncher has never beat Cotto. It's guys who are much bigger (Trout) and/or box from the outside (Floyd) or guys who throw 100 punches a round and don't stop coming. (Marg and Manny)

Well duh! He's Cotto's trainer. What is he suppose to say? That he gives Canelo the edge?

Canelo throws every punch hard. If cotto can take his punches I see Canelo gassin after 6 and cotto taking over to claim a UD. Both guys will be rocked but neither will be down.

Cotto was in a car accident when he was young and he f8cked up his right arm. Thats why hes a southpaw thats fights orthodox and also explains his power left hooks and strong jab

[RED REP]

Canelo's hand speed IS greater than Cotto's! It's a fact.
Cotto has the movement and that will surely give Nelo fits, but Nelo will touch that body for sure, Cotto isn't no Lara! As soon as Canelo starts digging away at that body and touching Cotto up top midway through the fight the whole dynamics will change.

The question is can Cotto get the rounds in the bag early and nick a few championship rounds to win the fight?

Delusional. Canelo's hands are quick, clearly quicker than Cotto's. Cotto's feet, however, are much faster than Canelo's.

If Cotto wins this fight he's gonna have to box. He's gotta offset Canelo's rhythm where Canelo just explodes with one or two combos a round, like Lara did. But Cotto's gotta be more active than Lara, which I'm sure he will be.
