Roach: Cotto Will Enter the Ring At 166

You don't think Roc Nation had a REAL backup plan???

Are you f/n kidding me???

Theyre paying Cotto something like 15 million for this BS:huh:huh:huh

Theyre not going to risk him getting KTFO when they owe him another 30 million.

 

153 lbs of lean muscle vs 160 lbs of lean muscle. Weighing in at 165 and rehydrating to 165 are not the same.

 

Of course they had no backup plan. He's fighting in NYC in the eve of the Puerto Rican Day parade.

To drop the fight and fight a sparring partner a day before the fight would be ****ing stupid. It was a clear bluff by Roach.

You're thinking of too many conspiracy theories. Trout outclassed and embarrassed Cotto in NY around the same date which spoiled the Canelo-Cotto fight. Canelo fought Trout instead. If Cotto were to lose then Canelo would just fight Geale instead.

 

I think he will vacate the belt after this win and fight Canelo at 154.

 

I guess when Cotto said he's not a middle weight a few days ago, he really meant he's a SMW.

 

I can't believe anyone believes anything Roach says. I think he even lies more than Arum.

 

When ODLH clearly states that Canelo WILL NOT campaign at MW anytime soon(though 155 is MW:rofl:rofl:rofl), then almost comes out and says that HE WILL FIGHT GGG before he lets his cashcow get his cranium cracked, I think it's fair to say that Geale vs Canelo is a no go.:think

 

And just ONE, one quick question?????

Do you know which top 15 WBC MW's Roach has in camp with Cotto????

Sergio Mora??????:think:think:think

 

You are probably quite right there.

 

That 'feeling' is exactly what he is intending to inflict on Geale by insisting Geale come in 3 pounds under the middleweight limit.

 

DirtyDan is a terrible poster, pay him no heed.

Geale made 157 because he signed a contract and he's a man of his word. And there was every chance that Cotto WOULD pull out and fight one of Roach's backup guys. But Geale made 157 so good on him for being an honorable guy, sadly it looks like he killed himself to do it.

 

This is f*cked up.

 

:yep

 

Looks like Geale has already fought his fight just making the 157 pounds.

WBC hang your heads. If you end up with a one sided fight or a farce because one guy had to starve himself to get there you got what you deserved.

This kind of b.s. should not be allowed to be repeated. There are enough weight divisions already without the need to cut one by 3 pounds.
