Video Cotto working mits with Steward....

cottos moving back down to 147 after foreman

 

Well he better change his name and hope the beating from Pacman made his face unrecognizable because he is gonna be pressured into fighting the big dogs down there and he really needs 3 or 4 fights against some of the lesser caliber guys to get back to form

 

Let's face it. This fight is super important for Cotto. He is talking about fighting 1-2 more years but if he loses this one, nobody will pay to see him again.
His main problem during his training for Manny wasn't his trainer knowledge. It was the fact that he was a friend, not a trainer. Good trainers are like a father figure. He will tell you what to do, AND YOU WILL ****ING LISTEN!!!!
I think Steward will help Cotto, hopefully enough to win his next fight. But the time they will have together will not be very long. I hope, after his father death, Cotto is in the right state of mind and open to get instructed what to do and how to do it. That will be the key.
Now, if Steward stays with Cotto for the next fight after Yuri, then he will really make a difference.

 

Too bad Steward can't tech him how to hold and strategically clinch.

 

Steward: "All you gotta do is throw punches. If you throw punches you can beat this man. Just let that **** go! You got three minutes, man!

Cotto: Ok boss.

 

Where is the Mitt work is overrated comments we usually hear?

 

I don't think anyone could take a punch with loaded gloves.

 

If he would have clinched against margo to buy time or to break up his rhythm he would have won.

 

steward is a master at that, look at lewis and wlad.
