Cotto - Mayorga Fight Thread

[KananKrus]

I will go for a late KO win for Cotto.

I find it difficult to root for the loud, the aggressive, and the obnoxious sort in Mayorga. If Mayorga wins then he proves me wrong in being inclined to think his presence in this fight is to him but a mere “money grab”.

That said, I hope Mayorga proves me wrong and fight a good and smart fight to give the boxing fan, something kinda’ wonderful to talk about!

Damn... I had the poll close prematurely. Oh well... looks like an overwhelming pick for Cotto by TKO at some point. What's this? No "Mayorga by decision" votes? LOL... obviously that is probably the LEAST likely scenario. Come to think of it, has Mayorga won any fights recently by decision? The guy's like a kamikaze fighter..... KTFO or be KTFO'ed.

Mayorga likes to amp himself up by having stare downs and talking trash....Cotto is denying him that and its already frustrating Mayorga you can tell.

Agreed. He's refusing to let Mayorga get under his skin. He's playing it smart.

The fact that he wont pose or do the staredown means Mayorga has got to him. He's worried he may react, Mayorga already in his head and the first round bell hasnt even rang yet.

Could be, but Cotto is a cool customer and Mayorga hasn't really gone overboard like he has before this is why I think Cotto just isn't giving Mayorga the energy he requires to amp himself up into fighting spirit. Cotto is saving up all his energy for fight night.

Just my opinion though and it COULD backfire, but I think Miguel has this pretty easy.

looked as if mayorga was trying to give him some kind of flower

cotto still should of took on a staredown though, just to show ricardo he isnt getting to him as much as he thinks
