cotto - foreman rbr and discussion

TBH I find most American commentary teams are a lot better than the Sky crew. Sky arn't that bad that they spoil the occasion/ fight but they don't really add much to it either.

 

Cotto is very strong minded and i can't see him being talked into a Margarito rematch. He's always said he'll never fight him again and give him another payday. I'd love to see him anihilate Margarito though and give him a bigger beating than Mosley dished out, i'd do everything to be at that fight.

As for Berto, until he stops lunging in to clinch and hold he will always be there to be knocked out. He's been lucky to get away with it so far but as soon as he fights an elite or even a world class fighter they'll catch him coming in and put his lights out.

 

Agreed on RJJ as well, he was outstanding last night. I enjoy the fights so much more on HBO/Showtime.

 

was it a good scrap lads? should i have stayed up?

 

thats what i wanted to hear

 

it was good but looks like steward is trying to make cotto a safety first fighter.

 

if i would have had your goods i would have stayed up and been happy with my colombian cold today

 

Can you blame him? Cotto's taken some awful punishment since beating Torres - the guy just doesn't make easy fights. If he can prolong his career by using a measured approach early and only opening up when he has his guy going, I'm fine with that. He's a really watchable fighter (total homo).

 

Jonny Nelson > Roy Jones Jr

 

Cotto became less flat footed than normal. Maybe he was comfortable with taking the shots from Foreman.

btw..Did foreman trip at first? What happened at the second fall?
That was odd..he kept fighting on ..but Cotto was winning by a mile or so.

 

The first one wasn't a slip, his leg just gave way and buckled under him which would suggest a serious underlying problem with the knee. The 2nd one was a slip in Cotto's corner, although he might have lost confidence in planting the foot after hurting it earlier and this wouldn't have helped things.

 

arggh..cool, cool.
