Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto vs. Ruslan Provodnikov in Play For June 18th?

[about.thousands]

Interesting that Cotto is being moved to the Barclay's. MSG was his home in New York. I guess Roc Nation is trying to recoup that investment.

[NUCLEAR]

Only interesting because Provodnikov dropped Freddie Roach and hired Diaz.. lol.. But maybe a little sneaky on Roach part too because he knows Provo's flaws and weaknesses.. Plus of course the weight disparity, but not quite the same as Khan/Canelo because Cotto fought at 140 for most of his career and he's a small light middle

Everyone knows provodnikov's flaws lol the dude is a walking punching bag

[Lords]

Boxing scene forums: Cotto is way too small for 160
Boxing scene forums: Cotto is a small 154, should go back down to 147

Word is Cotto vs Ruslan is in play AT WELTERWEIGHT LIMIT, a weight that Ruslan has fought at before and looked damn good.

Boxing scene forums: Cotto too big
Boxing scene forums: This year in boxing has been a joke with these weight differences
Boxing scene forums: WTF is this the year of mismatches, weight classes no longer matter?

You people are pathetic. Is Cotto a beast in size or a small little dude? Which is it?

Miguel "Maricon" Cotto going after easy pickings after getting his ass beat by a world class fighter

so what else is new

Ruslan is a sick twisted animal warrior. Nobody is knocking him out, unless the doctor stops it on cuts. ruslan would die standing up before he allows himself to get knocked out. Cotto is better at the sport of boxing and should win but Ruslan is a different species of animal.

You will see , Cotto is too big , punches too hard and is just a level above , if Ruslans head is too hard Cotto will stop him with body shots , too many advantages for Cotto in this one , Ruslan is rugged but crude .

Not interested. Cotto has fallen quite far from the warrior I use to cheer for no matter what.

What? He's only just come off beating, defending and then losing the middleweight title to some much bigger guys.

Give it a break. One random fight being discussed, not even made yet, and he's fallen into disgrace?

It even says it's being looked at for 147, which basically should tell you it's not happening. There is no way that Cotto is ever fighting at 147 again for the rest of his career.

100% right .

[Foreign Soil]

I'd bet Ruslan hits harder than Canelo. There's the possibility Cotto gets buzzed at least once in this fight, and that's always funny to witness.

I like this fight, Cotto will not be around for much longer.

Does Roach train Provodnikov? I remember there being a problem with him fighting Pacquiao as Roach trained them both.

Joel Diaz is training Provodnikov now
