My biggest fear for Cotto is him walking into an exchange and eating a mean ass uppercut.. he sometimes bends his head over and when he does is a sucker for that shot. Pacquiao, Mayweather, Margarito even MAYORGA caught him with some game changing ones. We all know Canelo is equipped with a highly explosive combination game, he can wear a lot of hats in that respect. If any punch will be the difference maker it's going to be this for Canelo.
Otherwise the left hook, straight right, uppercut is all there for the taking. It's a dangerous neighborhood Cotto has to cross in order to crack that ginger chin. Shorter arm span. Lighter sized. Plus he's facing someone arguably stronger(!) who doesn't give up the backfoot, will stand his ground and respond to aggression with even badder intentions.
The hand speed favors Cotto on the inside with his stubbier limbs and tighter room to crank out his patented left hook/ring cutting jab. Unless Cotto can drag Saul through mud for 6-8 rds the mid-range belongs to the youngster capable of soaking in more damage and unloading waves of counterpunches liable to chip away at Cotto.
I fucks wit Cotto on this one on a points win. Canelo has a tremendous size advantage that I feel becomes his DOWNFALL on account of Miguel's mobility+heavy handedness bailing him out of trouble spots.
