Cotto is Going to Beat Shane

No. He KO'd Vargas once, and won the other by stoppage due to excessive swelling(stemming from a headbutt)around Vargas' eye.

Collazo, Estrada, and Cruz were all at 147.

 

Count me in. A close UD, but Cotto gets it. I can see both fighters taking some punishment though.

 

I gotta go with Mosley.

 

Not to say Mosley is feather fisted (because he clearly isn't), but at 147, I'm not seeing this power. He couldn't KO or hurt Collazo, who was in more trouble against Hatton and Rivera than anytime in their fight. He couldn't KO Estrada (though he hurt him to the body once) who was starched by Cintron. And he couldn't put a dent in Cruz after hitting him with everything but the kitchen sink. Where is the power at? :huh I'm just not seeing it.

 

I cringe when I think about that first fight Shane had with Forrest late in that fight he landed some killer body shots that ****ed shane up, Cotto is going to go to that body, it would be interesting to see how Shane deals with it.

 

Yes, I agree, but d

I like Mosley by decision .Hand speed goes to Mosley Power goes to Cotto ..Experience Mosley ...Considering who Mosley has fought I like his chances ..This isn't Malinagi or Judah ..Cotto is in for a long night ..

 

Good post. Totally agree.

 

Agreed.

Shane and Miguel are 2 of my favorite 5 fighters.

I like Shane to win based on his hand speed and inside fighting ability.

 

Mosley will outclass Cotto and bust him up if they fight

 

I doubt it man. Shane is an average sized welter. He only gained 7 pounds after the weigh-in for Collazo and was outweighed by 6 pounds.

 

Its going to be an interesting fight PLUEEEEEEEZE LET THIS BE AT MSG !

 

it did help he just wasn't able to adjust like he needed. i'd say hurting cotto 2-3 times seriously in the fight is some sort of help

 

It wasnt just a headbutt causing that swelling, Mosley landed plenty. and a TKO or KO still counts in the stoppage department.

If you look at my earlier posts SSM is 12-4-1NC with 7 fights stopped since moving to 47. You are right that the only stoppages achieved since 01 both came vs Vargas.

 

I'm really shocked at some of the people picking Cotto. I like the guy too, and think he's capable of great wins over just about every other welterweight - but until I see irrefutable proof that Shane is done, a still-game Mosley goes to town on Miguel. Not a shred of doubt in my mind. If Cotto upsets him, I will literally, in no particular order: eat my hat, rank him #1 p4p, **** a brick, blow my lid, have kittens
