Cotto the boxer = BORING

it was a good fight

 

It was a good fight. Not boring at all. Nice performance from Cotto.

 

^ This .

 

I thought it was a pretty good fight, Yuri was giving too much movement for Cotto to plant his feet and land bombs.

 

yuri was running all rounds. its yuri that made the fight less entertaining not cotto.

 

I thought it was a very interesting fight. Especially, after the 3rd or 4th round where Foreman landed 2 or 3 real clean hard punches that got Cotto's attention. I thought it was a beautiful display of boxing, and if you thought it was down right boring, well, may'be you shouldn't be watching this sport. Not every fight is going to be Vazquez-Marquez or Barrera-Morales. It basically all comes down to expections really, and I didn't think it was going to be a barnburner, but I thought it was pretty good, and to me it was a pretty good fight.

 

i loved it...

it was mostly due to foreman not wanting to engage though...the times they did in the center of the ring yuri would back off right away.....

 

You're obviously a fan of Checkers.

Me, I'm more of a Chess fan.

 

foreman was the one who didnt want to brawl.

 

That was a good fight.

Cotto isn't going to be nearly as aggressive considering he's now small at 154.

 

Boxing is more than just knock-out brawls. It's about figuring out what works for you. It great to see a fight in a transformation, doing the things necessary to make them better fighters. Cotto is going to be a better fighter because of his marriage with Manny.

 

Was a good fight, but not great by Cotto standards. I guess that's the OP's point. Have to partly blame the opponent though. You knew it would make it somewhat less actiony. Although I enjoyed the fight. Yuri showing his courage at the end was tough to watch, but interesting.

 

If Steward pulls a Wladdy on him we won't see a left hook for about 5 years.

 

:?:?:?

Question - how do you manage to get close to a guy that's known to dance circles around the ring? You cut off the ring, am I right? How was Cotto able to land 40% of his punches (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and jab Foreman into oblivion?
