Just me or is Cotto getting faster?

[Rican]

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.

Ha ha!! I wrote my post without reading yours first ( I had that habit in school-talking before listening). I basically said the same as you. That means we both know Cotto very well!

To me while time goes by , Cotto is getting more faster , now with the Training that he is getting with Phil Landman ( phisical trainer ) , workout on the sand in the beach , that will bring something astonishing in him to this fight.......................

And for sure Cotto will show to Margaro in first 5-6 round with the body punches and exchanges , who is the best , that is the Cottos Style...and what he really likes...............

He does look faster, not sure if it's that or maybe a different approach he's taking.
