**** he had to headbutt Malinaggi which gave him a nasty cut in the 1st rd! I really hope it does'nt play out that way. Many people think Cotto will overwhelm Mosley. I see it the other way around. Cheers
I see Mosley winning too but there are alot more dirty fighters than Miguel Cotto, and plenty of fighters that do stuff thats "dirty". Hatton does; Mayweather does; Hopkins does (more than Cotto). As Ricky Hatton once said: "It is boxing, not a tickling compition"
Style wise, this fight this figures to be a scorcher.Cotto is like a pre-programmed wind up machine oblivious to pain and fatigue.Mosely is a game, nimble , boxer puncher who will work off of what Cotto does.Since Cotto does a lot, Mosely will work hard to attempt to hang right in there.Shanes a mover, but not a runner, so there will be numerous exchanges.This actually favors Shane who often will be moving away from Cottos power, while Miguel will be right there for Moselys counterpunches.What will start out as a close, fast paced contest will settle into Mosely having the range on Cotto and winning going away by the last three rounds.Mosely, unanimous decision.
:happy For sure it will-------its got all of the potential to be a real "World Awaits" something unintentional could happen but if it does----to help soften the dissapointment --the fight is well supported by MARGARITO--CASAMAYOR & MAUSSA------YOU GOTTA PAY--PPV then this should be the benchmark for all overpriced PPV's:happy :happy :happy
The hype, if there ever was one, was mostly constructed by the media and the fans. There are a lot of outsiders looking on too, people who are supposed to have lateral interest in the outcome and the winner of this one. As for Cotto's cake and some of his lines, that is all good, he's the guy who had the guts to make a deal with Shane, now it's simply time to back it up... Frankly speaking, I feel that either of the two fighters doesn't have the least expectation on what the other can give, actually one might well give it all cause the other sure is gonna give his... As far as the real fans are concerned, half are gonna be disappointed, that's fo' sure! But I understand when someone expects one thing and the complete opposite scenario comes to light and unfolds, but I would call that not living up to their hype and only just.
Cotto has been low blowed, head butted and rabbit punched, unlike you I don't claim to know if it was with the intent of his adversary, but I do know he has never kicked up or appealed to the ref. about this, he knows it is boxing and it happens. The only thing u can comment on or cling to in this great match up is that during those same fights in which Cotto landed THOUSANDS of shots some have landed low??? Try concentrating on the other 99.9999% of those fights and try again.
It will. Both these guys are sincere in what they say. Mosley doesn't BS his fans and is an honest guy....he says hes gonna take the fight to Cotto and fight. I believe him. Mosley doesn't want to take an ugly win- he would rather lose in a battle, and I'm sure he would tell you that himself. Cotto is a freight train and just doesn't know how to lose. He says he will bring it and I believe him 1000%. These guys have proven track records in not BSing there fans and coming to fight. That combined that there styles match up perfectly....this will be a special night. Plus a stacked undercard....definitely a GREAT night for boxing.
