    Discuss. His legs will be used a lot tomorrow, using all of that 20 foot ring.

    Martinez's legs will be put to the test and it may work wonders as Martinez's legs aren't 100%, great fight. And this is how Cotto will tackle this fight. Try to wear Martinez's legs down through the course of the fight, and take advantage of him in the late rounds.

    Cotto will be extremely mobile tomorrow, 155, very slim.

    Cotto doesn't have the speed, footwork or legs of Leonard,, he's catchin a beating by maravilla unless his knee gives way

    Cotto and roach are praying for a win via injury

    No one said he did, but he will use a similar gameplan. Martinez's ability to cut the ring isn't top notch either so it would not be surprising for Cotto to attempt it.

    I think he will.

    He will be coming in with speed, 155 lbs.

    I think it's a great strategy, come in lean, come in fit and come in with a boxing mentality. He isn't slugging with Martinez, that's for sure.

    i thought it would be the other way round lol
    then i thought about martinez's grandad legs so cotto would do well to keep maravilla on the move.

    Got to be the quicker and faster fighter to employ a hit and run strategy, Cotto is'nt, so he will likely be getting destroyed.

    Just look at what happened to Mike Alvarado who thought he could employ such strategy on a fighter who was a little bit quicker and faster then he was.........he got disected by Marquez.

    Cotto's only real chance is for Martinez to plant his back to the ropes and invite Cotto to war with him, and even then the edge I feel goes to Martinez.

    Halger didn't move as good Martinez. Cotto didn't move as good as Sugar.
