Cotto"s only HOPE to wın ıs by KO FAST

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I mean there are some positives in the current Cotto; he didn't fade against Margarito, he has a nice arsenal of punches, including a very nice jab. On top of that, he's more comfortable moving and engaging more selectively and still isn't exactly slow.

He isn't more comfortable moving than he used to be per say, merely less comfortable exchanging punches imo. Cotto always had tremendous skills when he wanted to use them. Does anyone really think that if Margarito was the same fighter who beat Miguel, he would've been kept at bay completely like that in the rematch? Whether he used loaded wraps or not in the first fight, Margarito had dick all left and it was a great chance for Cotto to look good. Now I understand why Cotto was safety first in that fight of course. He had real reason to be wary and he deserves a lot of credit for not letting Tony lay hands on him. I just don't think it was in any way a good preparation for this one. As Rant said, Miguel hasn't fought anyone with a modicum of real skills since Pacquiao and may have a false sense that he can be successful boxing here. I expect him to get completely lost after the opening rounds without a plan C.
