A lot of people are picking Yuri Foreman tonight thinking Cotto must be shot or something.
Well I'm not one of them.
Cotto is not going to lose to a guy with 8 ko's who hasn't ever fought anybody.
Miguel Cotto will break this guy down with body shots and pound him into a stoppage victory tonight.
And if not, then he'll outbox the kid.
Cotto is the better boxer of the two as well as the bigger puncher.
Definatly possible, i'm one of the ones kinda picking foreman to just bicycle and frustrate a decision out. But foreman getting the crap beat out of him wouldn't really surprise me.
I'm with you Hulk, I think Cotto is going to look much improved prove himself as still a top 10 p4p fighter in the world.
Well good luck to you and to him. I dont mind who wins.
Im going with the reverse and I dont even really know why.
Definately not on Cottos skills or his work rate maybe just on the wear and tear he has been through and this being a different weight with Yuri bigger.
I hope Miguel wins. Keep your guard up Cotto!!!
Foreman is bigger but not by much, and he's certainly not a puncher so I don't see that coming into play.Quote:

Either way I can't see Cotto losing to this guy.
...And don't switch stance. Stick with those crisp jabs. Just box, don't force KO,.. it'll come with the right opportunity.Quote:

Miguel is back!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to the humble warrior, your victory is a victory to all the good guys in boxing. God Bless you!!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly I'm not the dumbest guy on the forum anymore...
;D
After the disgraceful showing by Clottey against Pacquiao at Texas Stadium, I'm super happy these guys put on such a good show. Like Lampley and Kellerman well put it at the end... good venue (Yankee Stadium), a game and brave Foreman, fighting on despite his bum knee... a wonderfully renewed Cotto, now with Steward in his corner... all in all a GREAT night for boxing.
I agree totally. Both guys did well for themselves. Cotto looked great and Foreman looked good as well. A bit timid in the first two rounds, but then Foreman started opening up in the 3rd and 4th. The crowd was on its feet when they fought on in the 8th and into the 9th. It would have been even better if it got into the championship rounds, but unfortunately a guy slips on the logos and the fight ends before it otherwise would have. (like Dirrell Abraham)Quote:

Good call. :cool:Quote:

Cotto was wearing the new Everlast Protex or something like that which is basically Everlast's answer to Winnings. They have those, a 'punchers glove' which is designed much more in the mold of the Reyes gloves and then they basically just have a redesigned version of their previous glove whatever it's called. I did think they looked big plus they were white, if I remember so were Mayweather's when he fought Judah so maybe it's the white that makes it so eyepopping. Mayweather was wearing Winnings that night though if I remember right.
I'm happy that my prediction came true, but i'm annoyed i didn't put money on it. :mad:
