Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Shane Mosley

well i would have needed a tan if i was white, but guess what, i'm not!!

you need to be proud of your ethnicity!

 

alot of posters know what i am, ask around.


p.s taekwondo is for homosexuals and girls.

 

I like Cotto in this matchup.

Cotto seems more comfortable at 147 and I think making 140 caused some of his problems in the past. Cotto got stunned by Judah, but big deal. Lots of guys get stunned by the speed and power of Judah. I think Cotto's punch resistance is good enough.

Mosley fights extremely well for a 36 year old, but he's still a 36 year old. I don't think he has as much left as a lot of other people think. He's still good, tough, quick, etc...but I think Cotto's pressure and workrate, along with his solid skill set, will be the difference. At Mosley's age, he fights at a more measured pace. Mosley will try to control the pace and clinch Cotto to get rest, but Cotto's a strong guy and keeps coming. Cotto also has a very good workrate, and his bodyshots should affect anyone, especially a 36 year old. Mosley will have his moments, but I think Cotto will gradually do the damage and take over, winning a UD, although a late stoppage is not that hard to see either.

Cotto UD 12 Mosley

 

find out for yourself, i don't give my information out on the Internet to pedophiles who participate in little boys taekwondo classes.

 

Ladies lets stop with the personal insults and stick to the boxing insults, their much better since we all know the fighters but we don't know **** about you dudes. You guys could be 7 foot tall transgendered flamingos for all we know.:smoke

 

ok you want my nationality? i'm british, now what are you going to do with that information you filthy perverty?

 

I personally don't feel some sort of breathless pre-hallacious storm air, regardless of how fast or how furious they go, but nawthing I say will change the nervous, witchy feeling of exhilaration some may feel. Neither I expect Shane to turn a shade of dead zombie ebony nor do I expect to sense the clearly audible shatter sound of breaking glass when Miguel connects. Shane may get alarmed/self-decepted that he can't press on the gas pedall or he may well be morphing the rhythm, alter the tempo through speed-ups, slow downs and change overs so that his opponent's intensity doesn't catch up with him. Anyway, let me put down for ya what were Teddy Atlas picks for the Shane Mosley - David Estrada fight in Caesers Palace, AC, NJ ( undercard of Cintron-Margarito WBo Title fight) when Shane made his comeback to 147 pounds and Estrada was ranked 9th by ESPN.com and the Ring Mag - Shane was rated 3rd by ESPN.com and 2nd by the Ring as a junior middle still:

Keys for Estrada to win:
1- "Double your pleasure": Double up the jab, smothering the space so that you don't get open for his right hands.
2 - "Tipping the hand": Mosley has the habit of showing what he has and what he's gonna do... Mosley flips the left elbow a lil bit to throw jabs - when you see this, throw your right hand immediately to get a flush.
3- "right hand not the foot": Don't put your right leg in front when you lead with the right hand, but leave your foot back so that you won't leave yourself open and out of position.

Keys for Mosley to win:
1- "Bang the Drum" : Mosley is a tremendous body puncher, go to the body to slow him down comin at ya.
2- "Up, up and away": when he leans forward on the inside, throw the uppercut and move away.
3- "Left hook as he comes": When you see him lead with the right hand, ( circle him to your left) time him with the left hook.

Needless is to say that I think this applies both to Cotto and to Shane. I see Shane coming out on top in the same fashion as he did with Estrada and the first time with Vargas and if he brings his A game ( no monkeys on his back or loading up for a foolish knock-out), or Cotto winning by decision due to his physicallity and because he is in fact on top of his Game and that could be too much for Shane at this point.

 

This ***** should be a sticky thread. :deal

Go Cotto. :happy :happy :happy

 

cotto sd mosley...but this is 1 of those fights that im seeing a few different scenarios playing out...and the closer it gets the more uncertain i am about who will triumph...

 

I'm going with Mosley, but damn this is a hard fight to pick.

 

I'm going with Cotto, and I agree entirely with your second statement, RM.

Although I love Cotto I'm going to go with Mosley. Mosley looked to be in very good shape during sparring. Mosley has more skill and the slicker of the two. Cotto i relentless and will not stop coming, even when he is hurt. But Im going to have to go with the experience and skill on this one so Im taking Mosley.

 

Mosley looked great in training.

I still predict Cotto to dominate though.

 

This has to be one of the hardest fights to choose a winner from.
