Just me or is Cotto getting faster?

[TitoFan]

I've watched Cotto's last 8 fights and one thing besides he being sharper is that Cotto seems to have faster handspeed, faster counterpunching, faster reflexes each time out. I am just wondering if anyone else is noticing this? I am wondering if it has to do with his newfound confidence in what he can do?

I watched some of Cotto's early fights, and he already had the good boxing skills, particularly a good defense. But somewhere along the way, he became enamoured of his punching power (and probably felt some "post-Tito" pressure), and got away from his boxing and into some heavy brawling. He paid a price with some close calls (Corley, Torres). Now I think he's matured into the complete package: power, speed, boxing ability, great body work, great jab, etc.
