Now he just goes in & starts busting up both. He was more systematic against Mosley...but I still say that Mosley's greatness made it a ruff night for Cotto.
Agreed. I first saw Cotto (when he had hair!) against Bailey. I remember the comentators talking him up as a methodical, patient typa fighter.

What suprised my most about Cotto (and someone... Eli i think, predicted this, so they deserve there props) was how he was able to out jab Mosley, the suposedly faster, longer limbed, boxer through out the early rounds.


I just wanna say I WISH Mosley would of follwed those overhand rights wit somthing form underneath. Would of took Cotto's freakin head off!!
