    Default Can Jennings pull off a Shock and beat Cotto?

    And will Cotto ever be the same again after the beating he took from Margarito.........?
    I think Jennings might pull this off

    Michael Jennings has one of the more unenviable tasks in boxing on February 21. Not only will he be facing one of the world’s best fighters at 147lb, but also a man looking to make an impression after suffering a crushing defeat last time out. That’s because Jennings meets Miguel Cotto for the vacant WBO welterweight title at Madison Square Garden, and there are not too many people in the ‘business’ giving Jennings much of a chance.........

    Jennings is as far from World class it beggers belief , he has only one chance , and that is none , he cant hit at top level , and has no chance what so ever of winning , this is a massive mismatch.

    Cotto brutally KO'S him inside 5

    I'd have agreed if it were a pre Margarito "Miguel Cotto" but what's Cotto gonna be like?
    Very few fighters are ever the same after that sort of sustained beating .... Just look at Lacy.
    Never a better time to face Cotto for someone like Jennings

    I've seen Jennings live twice, on the undercard of Calzaghe-Manfredo, beating Takaloo and on the undercard of one of the Hatton fights.

    I remember thinking he was a nice clean fighter, with a bit of tenacity but....he got rocked a couple of times v Takaloo, Cotto can do more than rock any welterweight.

    I think his movement and jab may allow him to avoid an embarrasment like Alfonso Gomez was handed, but at the same time I only see it going one way

    Theres one welterweight that we know Cotto cant rock...I hope Cotto comes back strong

    Hold on mate, Takaloo is a genuine big puncher and at light middle as well, Cotto has never been a big puncher, a good one yes but not big, Hatton hits harder than Cotto, Ricky took Maussas head clean off with that left hook, Cotto coulkdnt do that

    Brian Hughes fighters are all very well schooled, taught how to defend and box nicely, Jennings does have power, remember him sparking Vincent?

    Lacy was a one-dimensional over-hyped power puncher. The beating, IMHO, did more damage to his confidence than his body. Joe humiliated him, but he didn't do much physical damage. That fight was a complete shutout.

    Cotto took a serious physical beating from Tony, but for most of the fight, he was outboxing him. Cotto also has a number of wins over top-level competition. He lost to Tony, but he's beaten enough great fighters that one defeat won't destroy his confidence like it did to Lacy.

    Anyway, even if Cotto ain't the same, Miguel Cotto at 75% will destroy Michael Jennings.

    This fight is nothing but a confidence booster for Cotto! He took a beating from Toney but Cotto aint no Lacy and he get back to his best when he gets his confidence back.Even if Cotto isnt at his best he is still far too good for Jennings.Jennings is a good domestic fighter and a good bloke but he is'nt worrld class.

    It all comes down to how Cotto is mentally after Margarito. Losses like that can permanently change a boxer, he may never be the same again.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I can't believe how many of you guys think that fight affected Cotto for good. The man is fucking cold inside a ring. for 6 rounds he gave Tony a skillful beating, and had it not been for his nose I think he'd have made it close on the cards. No way can Jennings even bother Cotto. He's a decent boxer but Cotto has way too much for him.

    Cotto is no Jeff Lacy. Mentally, I think he's very confident in his own abilities and in terms of skill, all round ability and his ability to adapt in a fight, I don't rate many higher in the sport.

    Sure, look at lacy, Jeff lacy was embarrassed and never let into the fight, showed massive floors and didnt look as fit as he should havebeen down the stretch..

    What that fight did to change him was took away his heart, his undefeated mentality.. twelve whole rounds against a guy and he couldnt just snap out of it and throw the home run punches.. his confidence and everything else was effected..

    Miguel Cotto had boxed well.. hit margarito hard.. and cotto hasnt received much criticism for his performance because the smart people all along had their money on margarito cause he style said this fight was going to play out in the way it did.. you could have guessed margo would wear him down but it was just whether or not miguel could bag at least 7 rounds in the process of a war with a big bad man following him the whole time..
    So he doesnt deserve criticism.. cause that was the style of how the fightwas going to play out.. and in most peoples opinion cotto will come back and fight on.. but margarito is not the ideal opponent for him!..
    he'll be hella ballsy to rematch him but some guys take losses, never look for a rematch and move on with their careers just fine.
    i think cotto has every reason to come back, he took a beating.. but he can take pride in his performance, i think there'll be a future problem with margarito and margarito only..

    And if i sway to the subject that is actually jennings - cotto i just dont think mike jennings can do it.. good guy.. just that bit better then british and europian/commonwealth titles etc.. but theres no place for him in the strong welter division..

    hey.. i dont like hearing people say that about collazo.. but i think its truer of jennings then collazo..

    but this is boxing and we are going to see about both real soon!

    I see this fight going one of two ways.

    1 - Cotto toys with Jennings, just like he did with Gomez, in order to get some rounds in, and then takes him out in the middle rounds.

    2 - Cotto wants to make a big statement, and takes him out as quickly as possible.

    I had a dream last night that I was the ref for this fight and it went to the 4th round then Jennings landed some vicious shots knocking out Cotto.

    just a dream though, I dont even know who this jennings guy is.
    a spontaneous creation with multiple moods.
