This is from another poster http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=317608 Announcer Dude: The Ring of Golpe A Golpe with Miguel Cotto and Juan Manuel Marquez...Well, champions, we're ready to observe you and watch you with care and at a distance. Elaborate for us Miguel, how is your jab, that connected time and time again on Mayorga, that's a punch that opened the door for you. Cotto: Yes yes, it's, for me the most important punch in boxing. It opens the path for the rest of your punches and we prepared for that in this fight. Announcer Dude: Will you teach us how it is Miguel? Cotto: Of course. Announcer Dude: Go ahead Juanito, haha. JMM: Now it's my turn, I'm Mayorga. Announcer Dude: We see that you advance a lot of distance with the jab, Miguel. How is it? Cotto: In the moment that you're going to throw, together with the punch, you step forward with your leg. And it gives you more range to get to your opponent. JMM: And the important thing was, in the fight with Mayorga, was that Mayorga would come in unguarded. Cotto: Unguarded. JMM: That's what gave you the opening to connect your jab as many times as you wanted. Let's see; for example I'm here, I'm Mayorga, and he would come in unguarded and that's what you would do (Cotto jabs). Nothing more; you put out your hand and he came forward, getting hit by himself. But apart from that, you would also throw your jab, whilst giving good movement by the feet. Cotto: Of the legs. JMM: Of the legs, and it's a very strong punch, which as you said marks your range, and allows you to throw combinations. Cotto: To be able to..exactly. Announcer Dude: Now...your use of combinations with the left hand, always with the right hand covering, Juan Manuel...so the left hand goes downstairs on the inside, closed (not looped), and then it goes upstairs. Will you show us that combination Miguel? Cotto: Uhuh- JMM: (interrupting in a tone that suggests such fond adoration in explaining) That one Mayorga let himself susceptible to as well, because he's a fighter who likes to fight short. What Mayorga would do was to be right here (in close), but he would leave himself open. Cotto: Yes he would open himself up. (Grabs JMM by the wrists) He opens his elbows up. Open to tag him here (body), and then go upstairs, quickly go upstairs. JMM: But you used both arms as well, which was important. You would go with the hook to the body, go up with the (left) uppercut, and you drove up the right uppercut as well. That was fundamental. Cotto: Yes, because of him being so open, it helped me to get in my short punches better. Announcer Dude: Can we see it at a speed a bit closer to reality, Miguel? How is it. Cotto: Of course. Announcer Dude: Very well. JMM: They got in because Mayorga left himself susceptible to those types of combinations, and we've seen that in other fights, Cotto connects those same punches. Those punches on the inside,that in the Knockout as well was fundamental for you; the hook. Announcer Dude: Very clean technique, no? JMM: Technically very clean, good, the knockout punch looked to me that you counter-punch him- Announcer Dude: It was backwards, the other way around, over here... JMM: Yes it was like this (moves)...so you counter-punch a jab, or a straight, I can't remember too well.. Cotto: He threw a punch..(steps in and slips JMM's punch) JMM: He threw a jab I believe, and you got him like this (Cotto hooks.) Announcer Dude: With all of the force from the waist. JMM: With all of the force from the waist, because in the moment that he turns into it (the slip), he's already turned his shoulder, and he can come back and counter with the full movement. A very strong punch. Announcer Dude: Without letting Ricardo cover himself. JMM: And so Ricardo- Announcer Dude: He can take shots. JMM: He can take shots, he absorbed everything very well, he was very well prepared. In this fight, it was one of the fights I've seen him best prepared in, and he doesn't stop with his clowning around but you came in and surprised Mayorga. Announcer Dude: It was a better fight than a lot of us expected because, thanks to the shape of Ricardo, and because of your boxing technique. Cotto: Thank you. Yes, Ricardo came in very excellent condition, so he made for a very clean and very good fight. Announcer Dude: Very entertaining. Well this was the ring of Golpe A Golpe with Miguel Cotto, champion of the super-welterweight division, and Juan Manuel Marquez, lightweight champion of the world.
