He looked like he was at 147 a full week before the fight, his legs were ripped. and he was very lean, seems he has been doing a lot of Cardio and legwork which leads me to believe that instead of the beat down I want, Cotto is looking to box move and win on points.I still want a beatdown or something very impressive.....no way Clottey wins this. Cotto looking too poised and confident, looks like he is very confident for this one. Sorry no pics as I had no camera! maybe someone else who was there can post pics!
Cotto for some reason has a lot of detractors around here, dont know why look at the guy he fights the best and he is not ducking or ****ing around and yet...you have posters who dont like the kid even though he represents everything thats good in the sport. I think its that Boricua envy coming from you know who...
i agree, but he did duck paul williams, but i think that has more to do with bob arum then cotto, the man himself.
man come on Williams needs to go to 160. I wouldnt fight him either his height and reach are too much of an advantage.
PW also has the ability to weigh in at 147 and then go back to fighting form at 160 come fight night, so I could understand the avoidance from fighters and managers. Anyway, hope Cotto and Clottey can give us a fantastic fight.
I havent seen clottey hurt yet by anything, do you think cotto has what it takes to ko this man?,,,,i doubt it. If anything cotto has proven to have a shaky chin when he was wobbled against a number of opponents
This fight has the potential to be a FOTY candidate. .... Can't Wait!!!! Cotto always look to be in great shape for his fights and the same can be said for Clottey. But mental conditioning is the thing that cannot be gauged during training camps. And whomever has the mental edge will win this fight.
Theres a Bronx public workout youtube link up in the forum if you havent seen it, maybe thats where you saw him - I noticed how lean he looked and the definition in his legs.. Without seeing him spar its kinda hard to judge imho,,but I just cant see the logic in being a cotto hater,,,great style/ entertainment,,and the only beatdown he ever got was proved dubious as ****. Hope he wins, I'd put money on a relatively narrow UD if I wasnt broker than setanta right now
