and either get the decision or get robbed. Cotto is finally fighting an able bodied fighter. He didn't even knock Martinez cold and he had one leg. A few reasons Geale wins. 1) Naturally bigger guy 2) Slightly faster 3) Better movement 4) less wear and tear 5) Better condition--- Cotto was fading v. an one eyed Margarito. Faded against Floyd after 8 rounds as well. This fight has the looks of Trout v. Cotto all over again.
Yeah he has a terrible glass jaw he was KO'd by GG friggin G, now how long would Trout last with GGG, who got brutally dropped by Canelo, Lara and Daniel Dawsonx2:-( But Cotto couldn't hurt him, he won't hurt Geale either.
Geales almost got stopped by complete bum Noy Noy Gonzalez he also got dropped by other unheard of bums like Mackinnon and Comer He was dropped by Mundine and he quit against Golovkin
At 160? Give me Geale all the way. At 157? Ehh, harder to say but I'll take Geale to win 8-4 or 7-5 in the eyes of boxing fans but Cotto to keep the belt on a ****py decision, probably a majority draw.
I think Geale could be in bad shape physically trying to get down to 157. That said Cotto stops him in the late rounds. If it were at 160 i'd give a slight edge to Geale.
This was gonna be a close call at 160 because I guess Geale would win about 8-4 and that's still 'correctable' by the judges. At 157 it really is a toss-up... so expect a clear Cotto UD in a 'could go either way' Kinda fight.
