I think Cotto-Mosley was a damn close fight and Shane finished stronger if I remember, will have to watch that one again.

I think Cotto-Mosley was a damn close fight and Shane finished stronger if I remember, will have to watch that one again.
It was a great fight, and EXTREMELY close with Shane switching to a more mobile/boxing style towards the end and Cotto fading. That being said, Shane couldn't fully pull away due to the fact that Cotto was consistently landing his jab despite Shane's advantages in foot and hand speed. That is a very underrated win for Cotto.Quote:

I tend to disagree. Kostyra was physically VERY strong and was exceptional at the middle distance and closer. Kostyra was a great fighter when he was on, and was pretty accurate and set up his shots well, but he seemed to be more of a strength/power guy than someone who relied on timing. Just my take though...Quote:
