Cotto/Clottey and you.

Point taken:good

Although I think we've exhausted that area, unless anyone has anymore suggestions?

 

lets anaylse Cotto vs Clottey

i want to see your keys to victory for Cotto and Clottey

 

Has Curry-McCrory had a mention? Between the 2 of them they'd completely cleaned out the top 10 at the weight but Currys complete destruction of the second best welterweight in the world was a great performance.

 

Cotto:

Has to work the body well from the start to bring down the guard of Clottey

Has to pace himself over the 12 rounds

Has to get inside Clotteys right hand with his left hook to the body

feint to try and find openings in Clotteys shell

Clottey:

Work every minute of every round, force Cotto out of his comfort zone

Use his tight guard to pick counters on Cotto

Work the body to slowly grind down Cotto

try and engage Cotto into a fight where Clottey can use his defence to cover up and look for counters and make Cotto use up energy

use feints to make Cotto lead and work

 

Cotto's mental strength for me. If Clottey unsettles him early and takes him out of his rhythm then it could be a long 12 rnds for Cotto. MC has to get rounds early on and try and make JC go to a plan b. And Cotto HAS TO STAY AWAY FROM THE ****ING ROPES!

 

i think Cotto will start fast to establish his rythem as Clottey takes a while to do so.

Once Clottey starts establishing it and gets into the fight it will be tough for Cotto but his early lead should give him abit of confidence. But if he gets into deep waters will his corner know how to motivate him like his uncle did? will he have a warriors spirit or will he quit? can he stick to a gameplan?

its an intresting tacical affair that can be an total brawl aswell

Clottey has to keep the pressure ont though he needs to graft, graft and graft some more. he aint getting no rest in this fight he has to pound out the resitance of Cotto.

as for cotto on the ropes i know he got tired on them but he did some of his best work off of them
