Shane Mosley vs. Miguel Cotto II

I say a close split decision, but for who i cant choose.

 

Dear boy! Cotto and Margarito are different people.

He was, and thats serious for a guy in his late 30's who tends to take a lot of punches anyway. Eye cuts are superficial.

 

No **** they're different people. However, no way he's performing at that level if he's faded. And it's not like he was facing some scrub.

I think the blood may have been from Cotto's face. Anyway, you'd be in for a rude awakening if you really think Cotto would just walk through Mosley.

 

Cotto by a narrow UD, if and only if he's up for it. We're looking at a new Sugar Shane, right here; but Cotto has the sharpness and the trickiness to do the job. Cotto has historically flirted with the canvas, though; if Mosley can land a few big shots I think he could get Cotto out of there.

 

He's definitely faded; no speedster in his late 30's is going to be anything but faded. The question is how faded is he? Most of the evidence suggests quite a lot; losing convincingly to Cotto and for large parts being outboxed by mayorga are not good signs. And even if he wasn't faded, Richardson and a divorce ( ) are not going to turn him into a masterboxer; he always struggled with anyone with a good jab and thats not changing now.

Dont think that and never said or even implied that, perhaps youre confusing me with someone else? Shane will take 10-12 rds of gruelling punishment though, something that guys in their late 30's should be more weary of imo.

 

Thats just such a big leap to make on the basis of one fight, I think it can be disgarded; incredible claims (ie a guy in his late 30's, who is a speedster, becoming a 'new fighter) require incredible evidence - one fight against a guy who seemed to be sylistically made for him is certainly not overwhelming evidence.

 

Cotto SD... I can see an improvement in the tactics with Richardson in his corner but Cotto being the younger fighter can definately take it again. However, this time, he needs to fight all 12 rounds at a 100%

 

You're also leaving out the fact that he got rid of his father to hire Nazeem Richardson as his trainer...Thats going to be the difference in the rematch which you're failing to realize...Jack Mosley was a decent trainer and he could give Mosley good advice IMO....Nazeem is going to have a VERY good gameplan for Cotto when they fight...I can promise you that....You're going to be in for a shock given Mosley did fairly good in his first match with Cotto.

 

Hardly. Many people had that fight a draw or 7-5 for Mosley. The only judge who had it wider than 7-5 for Cotto was Puerto Rican. That was hardly a convincing loss considering that they landed the same amount of punches and considering Mosley landed more power shots. Again, if he was so faded he wouldn't have performed as well as he did against Margo, he wouldn't have basically shut out Collazo, and he wouldn't have done as well as he did against Cotto(despite your delusional assesment that Mosley lost convincingly)

You said Shane would get brutalized. This would mean that Cotto would win fairly easy. You say this despite the fact that Cotto was the one who was backpeddling and had his face busted up the last time they faught.

 

Whats Richardson going to do? Do you have anything in mind?

 

I dont know because I'm not in the camp, but given his past success with B-hop and Mosley, Nazim will imply a well thought out plan...

My guess he will watch the first fight between Mosley and Cotto and watch the Margorito vs Cotto fight....He will try to make Shane work of his jab while mixing up his shots and give Cotto angles...Cotto is no Margorito so he want be coming straight at him. IMO he will work on Shane boxing ability in this match up...I could be wrong because its all speculation on my part but you better believe Nazeem will do better than Jack Mosley.

First and far most...Cotto has to get by Clottey before this match up comes out!

 

ok.

 

This si the fight i'm hoping for for Mosley. If he pressures Cotto he beats him. If he fights similar to the first time, Cotto wins another close UD.

 

It was a very convincing loss and most informed observers agreed. Sure, Mosely won a few of the Championship rds because Cotto knew he was so far ahead and ran, giving up the rounds. When the fight started, and was there to be won or lost, it was clear who the superior fighter was.

Yep, a gruelling 12 rd beating counts as brutal. Your continued struggles with the English language notwithstanding, I'm not quite sure where this particular tangent is going...

 

Cotto won, check boxrec, or any of the media reports following the first matchup if you don't believe me.
