Just saw it on another site and I am rethinking my Cotto TKO 10 prediction. :-( He looks terrible. In most of the video he moves backwards, sometimes even trying to get slick with his sparring partners. He spars in this video nothing like he fights in the ring, no aggresion, barely any left hooks to the body. He has 3 sparring partners in the video, I watched the first two. Now sparring is not fighting, but I can only summize a few possible things from the video. 1. Cotto looks terrible in the video and is not going to fight well. 2. Cotto is dicking around in his sparring and doesnt take sparring seriously. 3. Cotto cant do what he does in the ring against sparring partners because he will mess them up. 4. Cotto is planning on getting slick with Mosely. All I have to say is that it better not be #1 or #4. :bart
I really have no idea why most of you guys judge a fighter by looking at a sparring session. It's called SPARRING, you go in there and test different stuff, sometimes stuff you never use in the ring, sparring is not a live professional fight, you can't judge a fighter from a sparring session.
I said in my post that sparring is not fighting, so I understand this. But he looks sluggish as hell, Im just reporting what my eyes are seeing. It probably means nothing, but you never know.
Cotto has reportedly already sent 2 sparring partners to the hospital with damage to their ribs. I'm thinking the footage you saw might be explained by #3 :good Cotto doesn't "dick around" the guy is a robot. Cotto will perform as he always does. Cotto WILL NOT try and get slick with "Sugar" Shane Mosley :rofl Nobody does!
Something I have always noticed about Cotto sparring and training... The guy is the most BORING person to ever watch. He's not a show off. In fact, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he holds back when the camras are rolling because it makes no sense to me how this guy can be such a vicious animal in the ring and train like he's underwater. Footage can be seen on Max Boxing.
