Thread: Mayorga to Knock Out Cotto in 2 Rounds

I have faith in his awkward style. You gotta always remember the awkward guys. They will surprise you sometimes. I also think Cotto is shot.

and what drugs exactly arent you on at this precise point in time?

Im with you!

If He can overwhelm a top pound for pound fighter in 2 im sure he can do it to a small, shop worn fighter who has no business this high in weight and who also got stunned by the non punching, hobbling, back peddling foreman.

The first 2 rounds will be hell for Cotto and Steward. No one has had an easy time in the first half of a fight with Mayorga but this time hes been held in his training camp and has just done 9 rounds against a genuine middle who he stopped.

Cotto wont deal with his strength and aggression and will either get stopped early trying to fire back or will gradually go in to his shell more and more until Steward pulls him out

Mayorga has a punchers chance, but I think that's about it. To actually give him a decent shot of winning rounds against Cotto is very wishful thinking imo. Were he in his prime, Id actually favour him to win convincingly, especially at this weight. But Mayorgas chin has been dented big time now and he's way more shot than Cotto, I'd be surprised if Miguel doesn't hurt him when he lands big. Ricardo is 37 has never taken care of himself, and fought Mosley at 154 over two years ago. He looked good for much of that fight but nonethless he was knocked out again.. He then took a year off and couldn't even make 160 for his last fight. The guy he fought there had been Koed several times consecutively before facing Mayorga. Watch him fight the corpse of Fernando Vargas and tell me that's a guy that will beat Cotto. He could barely even hurt Vargas who had been KO'ed brutally by Mosley when he had a lot more in the tank.. Mayorga hasn't actually stopped a good fighter since Vernon Forrest in 2003, and has BEEN knocked out by the 3 world class fighters he has faced since. I do think that since people are still giving Mayorga a chance kind of says people know Cotto wouldnt have beaten him in his prime as a WW.. But now? Only see Cotto taking this one.

What do you have against Cotto? Did he shag your sister or something?

I like both guys, but I am backing Mayorga for sentimental reasons. I love his unorthodox style and the way he comes to fight no matter what. It's a fun matchup and there is no way we are going to see a dull fight. I can't wait for this one.

Ha....Cotto is going to school Mayorga. BOXING LESSON!

It might be a clinic even worst than the one DLH did give to him a few years back. Beside, if Cotto survived Margacheato potential loaded gloves in their match up, he'll survive Mayorga without the shadow of a doubt. Terrible mash out, Cotto ko 4.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Cotto TKO 8. Mayorga will come out swinging early but get picked off and slowly lose steam and Cotto's work to the body will make the last few rounds hard to watch because Mayorga will be standing still absorbing punishment and Cotto is going to land without taking anything in return...Cotto lasted a long time vs Margarito and his loaded wraps and vs Pacquiao with no trainer in his corner....I think Manny will bring him along nicely

The key to beating Mayorga is straight punches down the middle!

Not as easy as it sounds though.

the key to beating mayorga is by just letting the guy punch himself out

cotto is far too intelligent a fighter to get involved in a fist fight with a brawler. Cotto in 5

So have hundreds of others but they don't receive the same amount of abuse Cotto gets.

Good work girls

In fact you will be like the play ground girls who hang around the Popular boy, like his cheerleaders and he picks a fight on the wrong "bigger boy" and as hes helped off the floor you will bitch that the "bigger boy" is just a nasty bully who should pick on someone his own size!
