If Cotto struggles against Jennings and shows that he's also a damaged fighter, then a rematch against Margarito can be taken more seriously.
Found a clip of Jennings. Good speed and an accurate puncher, but Cotto's team made a good choice with this guy. WAY to easy to hit... look at how low he keeps his right hand. Jennings whiskers will determine how long he lasts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBfiuUfm5HE
You found a MUCH better clip than I did :good Watching this...wow...unless this kid is like Malignaggi in the sense that he can withstand a broken jaw and still continue to fight...he's going down. He's going to eat a shitload of monster shots...he doesn't even look like a big WW...he's going down. "I'm not here for a vacation...I came here to win" :rofl This kid is better start taking some nice photos of MSG...it's the last thing he'll see of a major event :-( EDIT: Do you know who his opponent is in the video?
Jimmy Vincent was the opponent. Club fighter. http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=17955&cat=boxer
I just hope Jennings does himself proud and dont get too knocked about,hes a good kid and a decent fighter at his own level and not to be disrespectful to Mick Ive got a feeling this aint his level.I really hope Iam wrong.
As much as I love Cotto...I seriously hope so too...I heard the recent news of his brother's death and I'm sure he wants to do his fans, his country and his brother proud...but he's quite overmatched. I hope he really goes out there and just shows his heart.
Isn't that obvious? If Cotto looks bad against Jennings, Jennings used Cement gloves.... (Irony off) This is obviously a mismatch and Cotto will propably beat Jennins in dominant fashion..
Trust me,ignore that record.Many if not most of those losses were home town robbery's and most were fought way above Vincent's real fighting weight. Jimmey Vincent was a pretty good fighter,he could bang with either hand and was ROBBED outrageously for the British title.
He is,a very likeable sort of chap.He's a good fighter too just maybe just short of genuine World class,European title class perhaps.
Robberies aside...The man was dropped 4 times. And only has 9 KO's...out of his 21 victories. He is NOT a banger. He seems to have that slugger/brawler style...but he doesnt look like he carries much pop.
