Cotto's stamina issues....

Stfu

 

Cap, I actually was surprised that Cotto, in my opinion, showed he had more stamina than Clottey, considering the bad cut in the third round. I thought Cotto fought like a warrior and under the circumstances, he did good and behaved like a fighter. However, for future fights, I really hope he can get with someone to work on his defense. His offense more or less was his defense against Clottey and he had his best moments when he was going after him. I say that for his own good in terms of longetivity... its not good that he eats so many punches.

 

I completely agree with you one this one!!:good

 

Improved but far from great. He took his foot off the gas in 7-10 and let Clottey back in the fight.

 

cotto does seem to tire late in fights. People just used to use the excuse that he was cutting down to 140. Now they will use the excuse that he boxes and moves more. But whatever the case, he still kicks ass :good not every fighter is built for 12 heavy rounds. Cotto's frame and power puncher mentality will always give him stamina problems late in fights.

 

good post.

for me it has been his defence that i think was his weakness. bending over left him very open for the uppercut and the striaght. also when he rolls his shoulder his hands move in counter direction that leaves his opposite side completely open....i.e. the right hand clocking miguel last night was due to him pulling out and not rolling the shoulder.

also his boxing stance is too square on which i think doesnt give you enough wollop on the right cross.

against corley,clottey,torres,judah,mosley when he was caught with a hard shot to me it didnt seem like a chin issue it was how he couldnt get out the way of the punch if/when he was getting hummered. he leaves his chin with his block that means that if you go thru that guard.

anyways it's only theory's and speculation. how can i cemently proove that i dont know.

 

i beleive cotto is a lefty fighting orthadox. So he stands square to put more power into that monster hook of his

 

:good:good:good:good:good

 

Very well said, its just sad that there are people out there who will look for anything to negate a good performance by certain fighters.

 

don't really think it's for use to critisise his stance, if Cotto was too square on he'd know he was too square on. He does take too many punches, but with the right coaching he can overcome that. He has good reflexes and can take a punch, but has trouble defending himself when he is tired.

 

B/c if Margarito was in that ring Saturday night Cotto would have gotten stopped again.

 

i dont thinks so. With loaded gloves he TKO's him. Without them he probobly wins a decision. Margaritos style is all wrong for cotto.

 

Cotto's stamina "issues" have always been overblown by his haters. Since he moved up to 147, his stamina has been just fine. Same with his chin, really.
