Re: Castillo to fight Cotto!
Castillo's got a longer reach...by about 2".
That will be a factor IWO.
Cotto likes to bull his way in & if Castillo can keep Cotto on the end of his jab & follow up with the same left hook that stopped Corrales.
Cotto's got a hell of a lot better defense than Corrales & I am pretty much sure that he hits harder than Corrales...the problem is...if he get's a bit confident...he's gonna get fwocked. Castillo loads up on the same combo's that he was doggin Corrales with in the 2nd & 3rd rounds of their first fight...I just don't see Cotto being able to hold up to that kind of pressure long.
The fact that the two of them are the same height aint gonna be a factor if the bigger (& he's bigger) Castillo can get set. Castillo can throw such short shots in the pocket (shoulder to shoulder) & Cotto has in the past proven to be open to uppers.
I honestly wouldn't know how to pick this one...I know who I'd want to win...but you gotta pick with your head & not your heart.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
