Cotto - Mayorga Fight Thread

[GAME]

Mayorga up to his old tricks again. He brought a rose for Cotto who refused to look at him and Mayorga was even whistling Cotto to come over for a staredown and Cotto again declined. He wouldnt even do any interview on stage and just walked off so Mayorga must have felt he had the last laugh as he paraded around the stage banging his chest and calling Cotto a coward. Dont expect much from the fight itself but Mayorga has made the pre fight stuff interesting as usual

[ElTerribleMorales]

last nights antics wont play any role in tonight's outcome, Mayorga got what he wanted to be in the spotlight, tonight Cotto will pound him out like the bitch he is, people always said that DLH avoiding to make eye contact in the middle of the ring meant he was scared yet when that bell would ring he'd be all over his opponent, you guys going for Mayorga are just clutching at straws but well go ahead the rude awakening is only hours away

[TitoFan]

First, if Mayorga IS getting only $50 thou for the fight, he's an even bigger idiot than I thought. And blame him and his promoter... not the Cotto camp. Second, if fights were won on trash-talking and crazy antics, Mayorga would already be the world's p4p champ. But they're not. Come fight time, it'll be time for Mayorga to put up or shut up. If Cotto can avoid getting caught cold by a wild shot, he'll systematically break Mayorga down, and by the end of the night all you'll hear will be the crickets chirping from the Mayorga backers.

Oh..... and Ross will be nowhere to be seen for two weeks.
My prediction.

anybody got links for the fight

thought this was interesting tweet from Dan Rafael:

Rest of the purses for the ppv bouts: Lenny Z $65K, Miguel Vasquez $150K, Tommy Z $50K, Bryant $1,500, Yuri Foreman $100K, Pwel Wolak $75K

[OccamsRazor25m]

I think Cotto will win easily! Mayorga will just lunge in and Cotto will be able to see him coming a mile away. I think this will be the better fight than Martinez and Dzinziruk. Cotto maybe by knockout early. Like 4 round

Found this cool preview on it

haha

Honestly I LOVE the fact that all these guys who were picking YURI FUCKING FOREMAN to beat Cotto, are now picking Cotto to absolutely destroy Mayorga in one round.

Apparently a past his prime Cotto is better than Oscar, Tito, or Mosley. He is GOD !

Not sayin you picked Foreman to beat Cotto, but a TON of people did. And those same people now think Cotto is an unbeatable machine who will surely KO Mayorga much faster than Oscar or Tito.

Its absolutely hyperbole and absurd.

Well...... the DECENT Mayorga backer is here. Where's the OTHER one?!? I KNEW he'd go AWOL even BEFORE the fight. The chickenshit...

But addressing your comments, Hulk. I didn't pick Foreman over Cotto, although I did have my misgivings about someone of Cotto's height at 154. I'm also not saying Cotto will KO Mayorga in one round. I'm sure he's going to play defense against Mayorga's bull rushes in the beginning. I think it will take Cotto 3-4 rounds before he begins applying his pressure and bodywork against Mayorga, and eventually take him out... mid to late-round TKO. And no... I don't place Cotto over Tito. Tito's career accomplishments outweigh Cotto's IMO.

Only a few more hours till we find out, though.... and I'm only sorry we're not gonna see "what's-his-name" in here for a weeks after tonight.

Hopefully to celebrate Mayorga's career redeeming victory.

and i said that those people picking Yuri Foreman were equally retarded as those picking Mayorga, Cotto might not be Trinidad, DLH, or Mosley but he's a hell of a lot better than Mayorga

Its funny that the Mayorga fans are the very same group of people that a few years ago were saying "if Tyson got back with Rooney he'd win the titles again".....Tyson is finished, Mayorga is finished. Hell Mayorga has only beaten 1 prime opponent that was worth a damn (Forrest) and other than that he's only got a handful of significant victories....all many moons ago.

Miguel Cotto is still fresh enough to take Mayorga....its a great style matchup for the fans though and Mayorga has always come ready to fight, for the most part. Cotto is fresh, he's actually got a solid trainer and yeah I think that extends his career quite a bit longer.

[superheavyrhun]

I hate to agree with Lyle on just about anything, but the guy has got it right, Mayorga has no significant victories in recent years, and has been on a rebuild fight/defeat cycle since 03. Cotto will box through the first few rounds, then dig in the body shots and see Mayorga off before the championship rounds.

Bullshit.

Lewis, Piccarillo and Vargas were all good fighters.

And FUCK Manny Steward he's nothing but a know it all whore and a gun for hire.

He ABANDONS his fighters as soon as they lose, and steals fighters from trainers they have been with their whole lives only to cash in and get out.

We all forget what he did with Cintron and Taylor ?

Mayorga has a damn good shot at beating Cotto and I think that he will in fact defeat the much smaller Miguel Cotto.

[ElTerribleMorales]

any streams? cause i'm not forking over $60 to see the massacre on tv lol

[No Contest]

Mayorga!Mayorga! Mayorga! What you gonna do Cotto, what you gonna do? When Mayorgamania runs wild on you?
