Cotto looked like the guy that fought Margarito years ago... he looked like the guy that terrorized the lite welterweight div... people ask,"how do u beat Floyd"..well, there it is... effective aggression. Finally ,Cotto gets rid of the friends who train him and goes with a real trainer..big difference.
Agreed, Cotto got a lot of doo doo here for going to Roach. He was trying to do just what you said, create a rebirth. It will be interesting to see how he does against better competition but I was pleased to see the old Cotto last night. Perhaps it will shut up all the Roach naysayers, probably not.
Honestly , I just hope Mayweather - Cotto 2 doesn't happen next. I would much rather see Cotto - Alvarez. I think Cotto wins on points in that one unless judges screw him
I don't think he beats Alvarez at all, but he looked as good as you could hope last night. That's the fight that should happen next for certain.
But was against Delvin Rodriguez. C'mon...
I would love to see a Cotto/Mayweather 2. Cotto would fare better.
Cotto just wanted a win on his record and he got it but lets not get too carried away. He would lose to Floyd again and there is no justification for the rematch. The fight with Alvarz would be good, Martinez match is just fictitious.
He looked better than he had recently. But Rodriguez being the C fighter he is helped him. You can tell when they showed him in the locker room he wasn't there to win
Cotto looked excellent last night, but much of it had to do with the opponent as well. Delvin had stage fright and no gameplan.
Still, Cotto looked in top shape and much better than when he fought Trout.
He should try to avenge the Trout loss and/or face Alvarez. That's THE fight for him.
He needs to fight Alvarez. A rematch with Trout won't bring a big a paycheck as a fight with Alvarez will. Plus I don't think Cotto can beat Trout the way he was dominated in there first fightQuote:

Rodriguez and Vera are both journeymen. Only difference Vera is a journeyman who actually goes out there and fights. Looking to win. He gives 100% all the time. Rodriguez doesn't do that. He's happy to just be there. Go through the motions. And get paid. He was never there to win.
Jesse feliciano knocked out delvin too..
The re-birth of jesse feliciano
this from the guy who was saying Rodriguez had a chance to win, get the fuck out of here with your bullshit, Rodriguez also went the distance against Trout, and if we're playing that game both Kirkland and Codrington stopped Vera, both being MUCH SMALLER than Jr, and well Jr couldn't even clearly beat the journeymanQuote:

You do realize Jesse Felicano actually did knock out Delvin Rodriguez, right? He just stated a fact and you get all offended. Hilarious. Proving the fact that if someone ain't sucking Cotto's dick than there just insulting him. So lust you have for a fighter who isn't even Filipino.Quote:

Hey... the gang's all here.
After we're done ruining THIS thread, I say we make another one in "Let's Get it On", and go to town.
What say, guys? :D
