"Look at your hands they are small and my hands are like a man" I think he will hurt Cotto early, but Cotto will weather the storm and stop him. Still, gotta appreciate Mayorgas love of trash talk and he does try to back it up.
Cotto: "these little hands beat Mosley though...you remember Mosley right?" Cotto won the **** talking portion of this fight also.
Yeah, hes one of those guys who goes for the ko right out the gate. He got some good shots in against Mosley, Tito, and Oscar despite being less talented. Cotto better fight a disciplined fight especially early.
Both of them had very close fights with Mosley (more or less the exact same version, too). Had Mayorga convincingly won a couple more rounds on a couple of scorecards, and not gotten KTFO at the last second, he could have had a win over SSM too.
Cotto trash talked back at Mayorga and won the battle of the trash talk. Cotto said. “bienvenidos a la conferencia de prensa del circo de Ricardo Mayorga. Ricardo estuvo algo sereno en la sesión de fotos ayer, pero parece que las cámaras lo encienden. Ya dijiste lo que tenías que decir. Soy un profesional, y con estos pantalones chiquitos, con estas manitas vencí a Shane Mosley. ¿Tú te acuerdas de Shane Mosley, verdad?”. "welcome to the circus press conference of Ricardo Mayorga. Ricardo was a bit quiet in the photo shoot yesterday, but it seems that the cameras turn him on. Since you said you had to say. I am a professional, and with these little pants and hands I beat Shane Mosley. Do you remember Shane Mosley, right? " “Usted es un charlatán y un payaso nicaragüense”, continuó Cotto. “Eso es lo que has sido toda tu carrera. En las peleas no has sacado esa bravura, en todas has fracasados, en todas tus peleas importantes has fracasado”, "You are a Joke and a Nicaraguan clown continued Cotto. "That's what you've been throughout your career. In the big fights you not had that courage, you had failed, in all your big fights yor carrer is a joke.
"I'll knock you out within four rounds," Mayorga said to Cotto looking into his eyes. "You're a loser. I'll prove I'm the man and you are the woman. That belt you got there will be mine. On March 12, all of the Puerto Ricans are going to wear black in mourning for your loss. I'm going to retire you." Cotto is usually quiet and never one to trash talk, but the champion had many verbal counters of his own. "Nobody wins with his mouth. I am a professional and I know what I have to do when I enter the ring. And with these small hands, I beat Shane Mosley. Do you remember Shane Mosley?" Cotto said as he was referring to Mayorga's knockout defeat to Mosley in 2008. "You are a clown. In all your big fights you've failed. I am a four time world champion in three weight divisions."
Im surprised at Cottos **** talking i didnt think this was his style. Then again its ricardo mayorga:yep
Mayorga will end up saying something about Cotto's father which I hope he doesn't but he will and Cotto will let it go to his head.
Yeah I remember he told Cory Spinks that he will reunite him in with his dead Mother. Then people wonder why some don't like Mayorga. If that STL crew that Cory ran with was so real they would have stomped the dog **** out of Mayaorga for that one.
