Floyd-Cotto Round 12 Analysis

1: He also could have been pacing himself for a strong finish
2: Points 1 & 2 are almost the same. Has Mayweather lost some speed are his legs what they used to be? I'm not convinced either way. What I am sure about is that if he has sowed down. He's learned to compansate. Mayweather now is still a great boxer.
3: I agree with this point. I think at this stage in his career despite being short for the weight 154 is the best weight for Cotto.
4: While Mayweather's power gets underrated at 147. He's by no means a power puncher. I think as Mayweather's career progresses and he moves permanantly to 154 and possibly 160 we are going to see less and less knockouts by him.
5: While I think Cotto is a bit overrated. He's a very good profesoinal boxer. Other than his sore loser fit at the end of the bout he acted like one throughout the fight. He seems to have found himself the right trainer for himself.

 

Floyd's cardio suffered by the bodie blows he recieved.He cant dance all the fight, especially when Cotto was applyng constant educate and efectiuve pressure.

Since Margarito rematch, we have a Cotto 2.0 in all aspects of the game.

 

cotto is the most intelligent fighter floyd has ever faced.

 

Sorry man, and I say this as a huge FMJ fan, Cotto put in good work and I don't think FMJ had enough to finish him safely. FMJ has bulked up. Muscle bulk is hell on cardio. FMJ's one punch power now is a little underrated, but it is coming at a price.

That was a GREAT fight by Cotto. His jab was amazing and his body work efective. I think that is the first (or second if you count Marg) fight we saw of a properly trained, mentally at peace, and not drained Cotto against a high level opponent. He looked good.

There was no carrying Cotto other than FMJ mixing it up a little more early versus just dropping round feeling Cotto out.

 

Floyd didn't figure him out till later on.

 

But won almost every round:nut

 

I kinda agree with that, I think could have finished him but PBF would not do it unless he was certain Cotto was completely done

 

Dont' think he was Carrying him...Floyd is not a big risk taker.
I think he could have knocked him out in the 12th. But Didn't really try to becasue the Risk outweighed the reward. What if Cotto Clocked him & took him out? Unlikely but FMJ ALWAYS leans on the side of caution.

 

I LMFAO at 12-0, 11-1, and 10-2 cards that people had for Floyd. Cotto won at least 3-4, I gave him a very close, razor thin 5th round. So my card would be anywhere from 117-111 to 115-113 for Floyd.

 

Cotto only got 2 rounds

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I dont know why thats funny to you

 

I'm shocked you gave Cotto any rounds.

 

I think what round 12 proved was that he had the ability to put Cotto away and didnt

I think in a rematch he would try to get him out of there or at least try to beat him more dominantly
