**** like this is why Mosley is my favorite fighter of this era. He has stacked the cards against himself by fighting Cotto at MSG. His crowd, his judges, probably his ref (Mr. Low Blow will attempt his shenanigans against Shane). Despite all of that, I'm still picking SSM!!!
:| I remember my girl going nutz because Zab head butt Cotto and split his brow and then hit Cotto with a low blow too and Cotto just kept on steam rollin. I told her that's the difference between Zab and Cotto and watch people ***** about the low blows.....sure enough the bitches came out to play. Are you not Mexican :huh .....I'm not used to hearing a Mexican sounding like a *****...(Maybe DLH) but other than him the Mexicans I know dont ***** and moan much.:smoke
yea I saw this on the ESPN bottom line. Its a close fight on paper, contrasting styles could be a really give and take type of fight. I'll take Mosley though, but never count Miguel out, he is a beast.
The fight is official..Bob Arum confirmed it with Steve Kim from maxboxing..Everything is signed for Nov 10th MSG
I honestly believe that Cotto will win no worse than 8 rounds to 4. People are going to be surprised at what Cotto is going to do to Shane. Shane is a great fighter but his best days are way behind him. Unfortunately for him, the only way a fighter will be able to defeat Cotto is if they are at the top of the game, not on the way out of boxing. Cotto by easy UD or late stoppage. Believe me when I say it. Too many people said Zab was going to stop him and now the same people are saying Mosley will finish the job Zab started. Well haters, it's not going to happen. Prepare yourself for Cotto vs Floyd in 2008--that is if Floyd isnt afraid to lose his 0.
People say the dumbest things about those accidental low blows. I hate it when they say Cotto got that from Tito's handbook.
I'm with u on that, I wouldn't be surprised if Mosley stops him. It's very possible. I really think Mosley will win a UD :yep
Accidental or not those were some hardcore lowblows, especially the second one. I don't want to see SSM lose to Cotto, so I'll be rooting for him. Haven't picked a winner but I no longer underestimate the force that Cotto can be. I honestly fear for Shane's safety because this is a whole other fight that he hasn't been in in years. Let me just say that he has seen Cotto rocked and hurt in most of his recent fights; SSM is the type of guy to finish off a wounded Cotto. Bet on it.
BobDig, i'm glad youre not underestimating Cotto. Although I feel strongly that Cotto will easily win, I do not underestimate Mosley b/c he is still good. I just dont think he will be able to handle Cotto's pressure for a full fight. Unless he takes Cotto out early, I dont see him winning b/c it seems Cotto gets stronger as the fight goes on.
Mosley wins and rather easily im not seeing anyway he doesnt. Mosleys still a explosive offensive fighter and we all know Miguel Cotto has trouble with speed,his own defense,and his chin. This isnt Zab Judah who always fades late Shane Mosley does his best work later in fights possibly due to training in Big Bear. All he needs to do is use his head and footmovement like he has his last 2 fights and hes going to give Cotto a boxing lesson and knock him out with a right uppercut and a lefthook in 8 rounds.
I was at both Judah and Quintana fights, have to say it will be hard to top the Judah\Cotto crowd. :deal
