Cotto vs foreman

lets see your genius predictions then?

 

I can see a Cotto stoppage of reasonable UD for this one.

One intangible for me is that, although I admit I have only seen Foreman fight twice, I haven't seen him take a big shot. I can see the first two rounds being close as both fighters feel each other out, but under Stewards guidance I can see Cotto coming out in the 3rd and landing big.

Foreman has a good jab, and seemingly good footwork, but Cotto is going to land at some point, how will Foreman react when Cotto gets in, lands a big shot and the crowd goes absolutely crazy?

I've seen a few training videos of Foreman in prep for this fight, and from what i've seen it's pretty obvious he wants to use his speed and movement and stay at range. A sound plan, however doing so reduces his already limited power. I can't see him earning Cotto's respect unless he either catches him a lucky shot or catches him with a big right hand on the way in. As such I can see Cotto taking command from the 5th round and grinding Foreman down late on.

 

Let's not be childish about it. Just posting the video will suffice for those who may not have seen it rather than trying to pass it off as your own.

 

thats not what im doing. wont be able to convince you but its not what im doing.

 

Rob, I'm watching the video and your 'analysis' is entirely the chap in the video's. That's a poor show. I remove my previous props to you.

Anyway, parroting other people's analysis isn't actually creating your own. That's just compiling it without any understanding of your own. Poor.

 

rob might be the man in the video

 

Nah, Rob's as white as they come.

 

exposed as they come aswell

 

proper gutted this will not be on TV.

 

If Cotto isn't too damaged from his beatings from Manny and Margarito he should be able to slowly break down Foreman but he's a very clever stick and move boxer, I can't wait personally.... it's real clash of styles.

 

Same here, dont fancy squinting at some shitty stream at 5am!

But I probably will.

 

This is a pretty good interview with Steward. He's saying all the things I want to hear as a Cotto fan and there is also talk of some new unusual training techniques, although I won't ruin it for those who are going to watch the vid:

Me too. Me too:good.

 

Quality video....

''uncomplaining,proud warrior''

Brilliant.

 

It's actually having Steward in, talking very frankly about Cotto and Foreman that gives me some confidence in a Cotto win. I think it's going to be hard fight, and if Yuri keeps on his bicycle, a very dull one.

 

the size advantage could be a big factor, i think cotto is badly on the slide, a lot of hard miles on his clock, i see it getting worse for him as the fight goes on, stopped on his feet bewildered by a foreman onsluaght, that he didnt plan for.
