rewatched Cotto vs Mosley

Same here. I have that fight but I am watchin all the discs I have from his career in order. I just finished watchin ODLH 2 and both Forrest fights yesterday. Next up...the Wright fights!

 

I wouldn't mind showing my score-card once I re-watch the fight.

 

I have that set. Wright II is a very good fight.

 

that was indeed a great fight. In typical Cotto fashion he was on his heels in the final rounds but was still very successful thanks to his amazing jab. That fight is kind of similar to the Cotto vs Clottey fight.

 

Cotto won clearly. I was surprised on how Cotto was easily out jabbing Shane making his hand speed a non factor. Shane's defense and jab is not that good. (although he jabbed the crap out of Margarito)

 

I thought is was a Mosley win....at the very least a draw.

 

Shane beat the **** out of Margarito. lol. I am watching that fight on demand now.

 

Like most I had it close but clear 115 - 113 for Cotto. The win was sealed after that great round of counter punching in the 11th.

 

Yeah like in the Forrest 2 fight, Mosley tried harder but just couldn't beat Wright. Didn't Mosley almost go down in one of the Wright fights? I remember him leaning against the ropes like he was but forget if a punch caused it.

 

He went down against Forrest.

 

Shane seemed rejuvinated under Nazim in the Margarito fight, his jab was the best I've ever seen it. What particularly got to Margarito was the jab at the top of his ribcage (or as Nazim said 'stab him in the heart') which made him even slower than usual.

 

I had it a draw personally.

 

Yeah, that's funny about Shane. He can do certain things better like the jab but it's just not his nature. His temperament is not that of an outside fighter working off his jab. He could do it though if he wanted. Cotto's boxing skill is underrated because he must not have the want to fight like this any more than Shane, even though we see from the Mosley fight that he is perfectly capable of it. I think he and Shane have that in common. Except Shane's jaw actually allows him to abandon a great jab and fight in your face. Cotto's doesn't.
