Cotto vs. Mayweather: The Trainers Prediction Roundtable

•May 5, 2012

Ronnie Shields (Mayweather): “It’s a great fight, but I just think Floyd Mayweather. I think they realized that the kid’s really a southpaw and that the best side he has is his left side. I think they have to take that away right away, and I think Floyd will take his left hand from him right away. I think it’s going to be a good fight because Miguel Cotto is one of the best fighters out there. He’s going to fight with all his heart, but I just think that Floyd is a step ahead, so I’m going to pick him by unanimous decision.”
