Nah, I ain't a ***** at all, neither is Gabe, but he is sure coming off sounding like one. I think he hates Floyd so much (more so than Doug Fischer) that he is trying his hardest to rip this fight apart. When I see his posts on another site, I just don't bother with trying to argue with him. He gives off that "I'm better than you because I'm a boxing writer" attitude. I just wanted to pass along the info.
I don't see how that isn't a realistic option. Mayweather has excellent inside and mid range fighting ability. He has an amazing defense that allows him to be able to stay in the pocket while slipping, rolling, blocking, parrying. He can beat you to the punch or return fire catching you flush before you can recover from your own thrown punches.
I just don't buy it. If Cotto looked terrible last time out, then yeah I would see that angle. But Cotto looks hungry and is getting an opportunity of a life time. Why wouldn't he give it his all?
I imagine he will, but in his last fight, he wasn't really moving straight back as much as he has in the past. I think they'll take turns pressuring one another, which should make it an entertaining fight to watch. :good
There is one aspect that Fraud Tweetybirdweather is overrated!!!! His inside game, and of course his jab.
It is well documented he never weighed after weigh-in in the JMM fight. After months that the fight happened, HBO came up with the 150 bollocks. It is a marketing ploy perpetuated by HBO to make Fraud appear smaller so that they can sell him against the likes of Hatton, and make fights against overmatched opponents like Ortress respectable because he was the smaller man. He does not look like he was 150 while JMM was 146. JMM looked like midget there.
You can't say he does not look 150 in the ring vs JMM. You ****ing thought he was 165+ vs Ortiz. atsch
Backpedaling is different from circling laterally. If he's ever hurt or in trouble, I figure he'd probably clinch or try to work off the jab while offsetting Mayweather's rhythm. Pulling straight back is a mistake he's not likely to make again.
