Just watched Paulie vs Cotto again, and...

[CutMeMick]

yeah, lets not mention Cotto struggling with weight for like his last 2 fights at 140.
Lets not mention he started talking about moving up in weight after the Torres fight but still fought there.
I mean I don't need to see the fight over to know he decided to box Paulie, Cotto turned to a boxer and boxed Paulie in the last rounds turning southpaw and all. He knew he was wining and knew Paulie couldn't fade him.

Cotto at 140 is not the same Cotto we see here at 147.
Cottos nutrioning is better, Cottos body is more full here and this weight fits him well for now.

There is no doubt in my mind that SSMs speed will cause Cotto lots of problems especially early on but once Cotto adjusts I think hes gonna take over. I think SSM will have really good moments throughout the fight showing good speed and landing really good shots. But it is also important to see whos landing the harder cleaner punches and whos doing the most damage.

Mosley vs Cotto is a 50/50 to me every boxer that face Cotto made the mistake of thinking he is onedimensional and that is were they fail.

PAAAAANAAAAAAA!!!


Very well said mi hermano, SSM said "I've fought his style before, I've seen it. I don't need a strategy or a plan I'm just gonna go in there and fight him as I go along." "I know how to beat his kind, hes robotical and does standard things I already know"

Right on Shane, you do your thing. Go in there without a plan you'll be OK.

Mick,you deserve another cc in 24 for that post.And cc to you too Puya. Remember people,Cotto weighed this much when he was in his early teens!!It's incredible that he is still around at this weight! I see a move to 154 sooner or later but for now,I want to see him kick ass at WW! The best part about the posts are the highlighted,awesome stuff.

Well heres #2838 on me and thanks for the feed back. People want to mention all these kind of things about Cottos fight with Paulie but they don't mention things like weight issues.
