I'd pay just too see the press conferences let alone the fight. Mayorgas hilarious. Looking forward to seeing how cotto deals with it all. Fight should be entertaining also.
I like both fighters, but hope Mayorga is going to put the work in and give us a good scrap. The DLH fight was awful, but when he puts the work in Mayorga can be dangerous for anyone. I'm curious to see what he has left. I don't think Cotto is a 154 pound fighter and damages very easily, so if Mayorga can make an impact early I think it could be an interesting fight.
Oh, come on! Mayorga was way done at this level back in 08' He can't keep up with Cotto, even though Cotto has slipped some. Mayorga used to have a granite chin, but no more. Cotto will box Mayorga at first and then KO him by about the 6th round. If he makes weight it will be surprising.

Perhaps, I haven't said I disagree with you entirely. That's why I want to see this fight, it might well be more interesting than is supposed to be the case. I'm sure Forrest thought he would box Mayorga too, not as easy as it looks. Maybe Cotto will do it like DLH, but maybe not. Let's just see, eh.
Think if Mayorga had focused less on gimmicks and being his own biggest fan and got down to boxing 101 and stayed division sharp and conditioned he'd have done damn well for himself. Unfortunatly he's become the most colorful stepping stone the sidewalk of boxing has known in some time.
Yeh well whateverHey. I think this is a 55-45 ish fight given styles and Cottos accumlilated damage. Love Cotto but thing is Oscar, Tito and Forrest 2 were is peak stride when they met. With Mayorga its punch-right hand-shoulder slam-clinch-wrestle for the first few rounds and physically he can be taxing. Cotto is not fast on his feet and while jab will ram rod Mayorga Cotto has a telegraphed type of delivery at times, leaves arms extended....and he can be backed badly and squares up...still. He cuts and will have to step inside of Mayorga to keep him off early. Cotto should outclass him but I believe Mayorga is very live.
Edit: I'm calling out Diane to make a comeback. For old times sake and to watch your bwoy give it a go.

I think Cotto maybe shot. I hope not because he has been a very good fighter but if he is and Mayorga trains right for this fight then I think an upset is on the cards!
Some terrible music / soundtrack choice for a boxing trailer like that. oh dear.
I'm on Mayorga for the upset here.................
This is a step down for Cotto, there is no victory here for him.
The only thing interesting here is what Mayorga will say about Cottos mother.
Cotto at press conference:
"with these little hands and these little pants i beat Shane Mosley, you know who that is right?"

Manny is excited that Cotto is excited about beating up Mayorga.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Iv read a few times that Manny is concerened that regardless of fitness he thinks Mayorga will be dangerous early and that he will be huge compared to Cotto. I remember watching the Mosley fight and hearing Steward being suprised at how long Mayorga was able to box the way de did. He expected him to tire early and was surprised how he made Shane look shite, took his shots and had Shane worried about his power. He knows that Mayorga could take his man if he trains. when Steward got up and spoke, I thought that made Cotto look a little week, like Steward felt he needed to do that.
I also notice how everyone is saying "If Mayorga trains, its going to be very interesting".
I think thats because everyone deep down accepts that Mayorga at his best beats Cotto. Even though this is a 37 year old Mayorga coming off over 2 years out and a KO. He is still seen as a threat to cotto.
I think Coto is too small and easily manhandled by someone Mayorgas size to be fighting at this weight. Mayorga just proved he can throw around and beat up a natural strong middle. Hes now going against a natural welter who fades when pressured.
Cotto sounded very nervous, he had a crackled wobly voice and was swallowing constantly while sat when Mayorga was calling him a girl
Steward knows the reality of the situation and is praying that Mayorga doesnt train
Look at one of the interviews after the coonference, cotto is asked about Mayorgas wild style and he stutters and just says that Steward will plan everything. I think he might just start caving in during the fight when Mayorga is landing heavy shot after heavy shot and keeps coming![]()
