Cotto's New Trainer On Display Saturday Night! Book it!

Maybe he can fix his vaunerability to straight shots right down the middle

 

I wondered if Cotto had someone in mind from the very beginning. This is happening very quickly. He was able to fire his uncle 'with cause' and his uncle has made it almost impossible to reverse now.

 

better defense??

 

Cotto knows how to fight, he just needs good conditioning, and someone he is comfortable with. You don't want to change him, maybe a tweak or two, or show him some different ways to do things----but a smart trainer will let guy who is good like Cotto be himself if that makes Cotto comforatble. If you show him some new stuff,and it doesn't take, you drop it. Just get him in sahpe and sharp for fights, and don't **** up in corner. Having a guy who's been there (The big fights) will ensure that. If Birmingham is choice, it' s good.

 

i think he would be an awesome choice he can cotto in offense and defense
he can help cotto block more shots an adjust his defense a lot look at wright
on defense who is cotto fighting next umm clottey an almost inpenetrable defense as wrights well its i think the obvious choice in a way too bad no one or at least not that i saw mention him not even me oooppss but if its true good choice

 

Bingo.

 

why not roger mayweather

 

Training a fighter who doesn't have a trainer? Polishing defense, making use the underrated Cotto jab better? You know, training things.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

Honestly Birmingham and Cotto have been tied together for what feels like YEARS at this point. Once a year we read about Cotto leaving Evangelista to go and train with Dan Birmingham down in Florida. I guess it'll finally happen at this point.

Personally my choice would've been Manny Steward and it seems like Arum reached out to Steward as well. Steward fighters (at least those who he gets through to) are known for being tremendous jabbers, having tremendous skills with clinching (something Manny Steward harps on) and being effective for over 12 rounds. Don't be surprised if once Klitschko's schedule clears up after Haye-Wlad is through, that the rumors start building up.

 

Cotto could do with learning to clinch, so Steward would be ideal.

 

Birmingham would be an excellent choice but i thought Arum has 5 other choices?

 

Its a good choice
