After this, Cotto needs to make it seem as though he wants to touch gloves, only really looking for Floyd to respond with sportsmanship in order to land the 1-2 down the middle before he does. Cotto's best hope is to assume that Floyd wouldn't attempt to cold clock someone in the same fashion as he did Ortiz in consecutive fights, giving himself the chance to do so.
Plan #2. He has a great chance to win by DQ should he really commit to low blows. Depending on the ref there is a legitimate chance that Roger Mayweather storms the ring before Cotto is even docked points.
I just hope Emmanuel Steward has him rehearsing with Ortiz, Zab Judah and Andre Direll instead of sparring.
