How will Cotto land enough shots on PBF to do damage

Coming from a guy who regularly defends Mayweather and shits on Cotto. Yeah homey, you're as credible as they come. Despite only posting in threads related to Floyd...

I mean, literally...all of your posts are Mayweather related. Yet, you have the audacity to even mention the phrase logical conversation. Spare me. Of course anything not favorable towards Floyd isn't logical to you.

 

I have been studying PBF and Oscar fights lately. I have come to one conclusion. Cotto will beat PBF. I used to think it was 50-50. But now im leaning more towards 60-40 for Cotto.

Here is some basis for my analysis.

As much as people want to say PBF made Oscar stop throwing the jab, its not true. DLH just got tired and lost that fight. Cotto has the stamina to throw that quick yet powerful jab all night long. The same jab that knocked Alfonso Gomez down. yes the same guy that has taken punches from Super Middle Weights and has never gone down. The Jab bothers PBF alot to the head or body.

Cottos speed is very underrated and it almost seems like he is getting faster as he goes. He doesnt throw wide punches just crisp compact Straight punches. Those combinations he throws are also very beatiful and quick. PBF cant block to both the head and body at the same time and with Cottos speed he is gonna have to be guessing where to block and at some point he will get caught with big shots.

PBF is not an unbeatable force. His record suggests he has faced big names that at the time were not recognized by the people as the real threat.


I see this playing out like this. Cotto uses his jab from the beginning. PBF is not an attacking fighter at this weight but a pot shotter. Its hard to pot shot when you have a quick powerful jab pumped at your face all day. PBF goes straight back to the ropes when he gets backed up. Cotto will definately take this opportunity to unleash his quick compact combinations. I predict he will start by throwing some left hooks to the body then keep switching in between combinations to both head and body. Something has to land. Oscar did it. Why cant Cotto? PBF will realize that and hopefully will bring out the best in PBF. This would be the best thing that can happen and hopefully PBF attacks like he did in the lower weight classes using his speed to land accurate shots. However by doing this he would be putting himself in great danger giving Cotto the advantage when trading. PBF can be very entertaining when he lets his hands go. Hopefully Cotto can do this.

I think its either Cotto by UD if PBF doesnt choose to fight or Cotto by late round TKO if PBF decides to let his hands go. I just dont see PBF KOing Cotto when Zab and Shane coudlnt do it.

 

DLH did pretty well with the jab,pressure,jab,body assault technique. Thats not even his game but its Cottos specialty plus Cotto doesnt fade in every fight late like Oscar.

 

I am beginning to think Cotto will murder PBF.

 

And one of the main differences is Cotto's punches are tigher/more compact, and more accurate at least in comparison to DLH at this point in his career. Cotto thinks about every shot he throws, Floyd is going to have to do major adjustments to his game to offset what Cotto brings to the ring. IMO hes gotta move on his feet like hes never moved before against Cotto, If he doesn't Cotto will be there working him hard enough to win the fight. Can Floyd catch Cotto off guard enough without getting hit himself to win rounds? Cotto applys 3 minutes of absolute technical offense, This is will be Floyd's greatest fight no doubt.

 

:good :good :good

Absolutely, cotto would need to cut the ring off real well and punish the whole of mayweathers body, including arms, hips and shoulders. Otherwise floyd would probably dance rings around him, potshotting him at will.

 

Of course, and why would he adopt any other tactics against a monster like cotto, pbf may well be the smartest boxer on the planet at the mo, his adaptability is ranking alongside calzaghes imo, no one gonna beat him til he fades. I say he has 2 fights left, its gonna be odh then hatton, he wins both comfortably and retires.

 

i know this was probably an oversight on your part, but sharmba already had losses to leavander johnson( rip) and stevie johnston at 135.

 

Cotto almost always throws head to body or body to head followed by timed jabs constantly throughout a fight. He isn't there to be hit, and Cotto will be well aware of Floyd's counter overhand right as he slips the jab. Thats one of Floyd's best ****ing counters (its a beauty)..Half step back as he alludes a jab then comes back in a second firing an overhand right. That AND Floyd's lunching right hands are his main tools. Floyd has a nice jab as well, I think Floyd would do himself a great benefit if he utilized the body jab against Cotto, That could help keep him off. This fight is amazing! both of these guys are ridiculously talented fighters.

 

His Jab will set everything up. And snap Floyd"s head back In the process.

 

Kinda like you thought Hatton would to.:-lol::rofl

 

The only punch Cotto will land with any success is his jab other than that it will be a challenge. People never realize how hard it is to hit PBF cleanly until they're in the ring with him and Cotto will be no different.:deal We all know PBF will land easily on Cotto but the same can't be said for Cotto landing on PBF. PBF by UD is the logical outcome of this fight.
