Juanma Lopez: Cotto must fight dirty if necessary

“Entiendo que el factor que podría definir la pelea es la velocidad de Mayweather. Desde el principio, Miguel le tiene que caer encima y darle en los brazos, en los hombros y hasta en las piernas, donde pueda para dominarlo. Diría que no pelear tan limpio sí es necesario. Zab Judah y Shane Mosley pudieron meterle presión con cierto éxito, pero la realidad es que Cotto va algo apretado. En el pasado he visto que Miguel se va cansando a medida que pasan los rounds. En la primera parte (de la pelea) con buen aire, pero después no tiene la misma energía. Tiene que estar listo para 15 asaltos”

"I think speed is the factor that could define this fight. Cotto has to get on him early and hit the arms, shoulders, and even the legs, everywhere he can to dominate him. I would say to not fight so clean if necessary. Zab and Mosley were able to pressure Cotto with some success, but the reality is that cotto is tight on this one. In the pass I've saw Miguel gassing out as the rounds pass. On the first half of the fight he shows good stamina but later he hasn't the same energy. He needs to be ready for 15 rounds."




-----------------------------------

I've thinking about this a lot, and I couldn't agree more.

In the Zab Judah fight, judah landed some clean shots and was bothering cotto, then came the low blow and it helped Cotto a lot making Judah loose his rhythm and recovering from the shots.

I wouldn't be bothered at all if Cotto does this intentionally if he needs to. If I were his trainer I would talk to him about this.

 

It was also reported that he sparred with Thomas Dulorme.

 

:nono we talking about dat dere low blows, forearm **** but maybe an accidental headbutt wouldn't be bad either.

wanna see some blood on floyd

That point deduction made him hungrier, busier. That is good
