Cotto"s only HOPE to wın ıs by KO FAST

[DavilaJones]

In some ways this fight remeinds me of Martinez vs Macklin. Everyone expected Macklin to fight the way he normally does and he did something truly unexpected and I think won quite a few rounds too vs the champ.

The trick is to do something no one expects you to do and execute that plan well. In my mind the only thing I can think of is if Cotto forces Mayweather to press and increase his punch output then he would gain an advantage simply by the fact that he's forcing his opponent to conform to his game plan.

This being said the most important part is to execute the plan well. I do not know if he can do this consistently for 12 rounds and be successful.

100% agree, Cotto needs a good strategy to win the rounds one at a time. Simple in theory, difficult in practice especially against Floyd.
