DOCTOR STOPS TEH FIGHT.......

 

It was like watching Proes vs Joes

 

Complete and utter mismatch, Infact Gomez shouldnt of been in the ring with him.

 

That's the difference between beating a

c fighter and then facing an a+ fighter. Gomez knocked out a c fighter and got out everythinged by an a+ fighter.

 

love watching this kind of stuff. a real pro outclassing a rival.

who doesn't like fed ex dominating a hapless opponent?
who doesn't like the lakers dominating a poor side?


marvellous

 

:: ::

Fucking hell, Gomez looked like a complete and utter bum in there with Cotto.

LOK, what have you got to say for yourself?

 

Good call - Gomez would have taken it all night. That was a sparring session.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR COTTO-MARGARITO. This fight has to be made - and you can make a case that the winner is the best welterweight in the world.

 

are you having a laugh?

margarito would be given a degree after the cotto fight. complete and utter schooling.

 

Perhaps. Either way, that fight must be made. Antonio Margarito is no Alfonso Gomez, rest assured. He won't be tasting canvas off of jabs. He'll test Cotto and if Cotto passes, good for him. I wanna see this announced soon.

 

Margarito will be Cottos toughest fight of his career.

 

I don't think there is any doubt it will be made. I think they were talking about the 27 june or 27 july, something like that.

Margarito is very good, but not that good.

The fight I want to see is Cotto vs PBF.

Thats now THE FIGHT to be made in boxing.

(Witter vs Hatton a close second, although we know why thats not happening)

 

what about....

COTTO vs. Witter
or
Mayweather vs. Witter

:crafty::crafty::crafty::crafty::crafty::crafty:

 

Cotto vs Mayweather? :dunno: ....:doh: Oh that's right, "He's not ready".

 

Good bet, Alabama. opcorn:

 

I think it would probably be in July....Arum set aside the June 28 date for Diaz-Pacquiao.

 

Cotto will beat Marge hands down, he is in another league.

I'll give Marge one thing, he is tough, he has a good chin.

He'll probably lose a decision to Cotto, say 10 rounds to 2. It wouldn't surprise me to see Cotto stop him late either. Cotto is not a 1 punch KO artist, but he has very heavy hands, effortlessly heavy hands.

Just look at Gomez' face, and it didn't even look like Cotto was trying.

 

We'll see. I'm interested to see the way Cotto in the second half of a Margrito fight. The first few rounds would most likely be won by Cotto, perhaps so convincingly that it looks like a mismatch given the how slow Margarito somtimes starts.

He's not quick-handed at all, but his ability to just absorb power punches to the chin and continue to come forward will be a factor. Margarito's chin allows him to crowd opponents and put himself in position to land his punches, and he doesn't worry that much about the incoming which is why he can put combinations together, even while his opponent is punching, and land them...and he actually does vary his punch attack decently.

I think the likely result may very well be a Cotto decision, but like the Mosley fight, it could be one in which he'll have to overcome some real difficulty to do so.

If he isn't forced to do so by Margarito then it's a testament to just how good Cotto really is.

 

Yeah we'll see.

Marge is basic, very basic compared to cotto. They are leagues apart really.

Marge has gotten as far as he has by having an excellent chin and workrate. They are his only attributes that are world class.

He clumsily shuffles inside and lands telegraphed uppercuts and bodyshots. That's his game.

It's not even like he has great, crisp accurate punches and great punching technique like a Corrales or Castillo.

Cotto will eat him up, trust me.

It won't be a COMPLETE blowout purely because Marge is a fairly big welterweight with a world class chin, but cotto will win and win very decisively. It certainly won't be as close as the mosley fight.

I know gomez is not in cotto's league whatsoever, but still, the guy has fought middleweights and never been down, and cotto just brutalised him in 5 easy rounds.

The safe pick is cotto by UD, but like I said I would not be surprised if cotto's heavy hands and supreme accuracy took it's toll late and stopped marge.

Great analysis Mex.:clap: Also: Cotto is getting better. He is a lot better than he was when he fought Torres. he can do more things world class in the ring now. I actually think he is ready to challenge Mayweather.

The thing is that his jab has become quite good. It is a lot better than De la gayas right now and Mayweather can be hit with a good jab actually. Even though Cotto outclasse Gomez he showed that his understanding of distance and versatility is improved since Mosley. He no longer plods in to attack the body, he comes in throwing combos and with a ramrod face disfiguring jab.

 

I agree Cotto looked great tonight, but come on, he was in against a mediocre opponent that would allow him to do so.

If this was the convincing you needed that Cotto was ready for Mayweather, I'm not really sure what to say.

 

It's not just a chin and workrate with Margarito, it's how he uses them to his advantage. Most fighters, even with those attributes, aren't tough enough to walk through punches the way he did against Cintron tonight. He does so continually, and in fact gets stronger as the fight goes on, and because of that, even though a lot of his punches are slow and may be telegraphed, he'll land a fairly high number of them because he's willing and able to pay the price to get his pound of flesh.

I really disagree with the notion that Cotto just walzes to a twelve round UD or simply dominates Margarito to a late round stoppage.

I think he'll likely win, but not in that fashion. If he does, though, then all credit to him.

It is as part of a progression. Cotto is still developing as a fighter and learning how to integrate different things in his attack. This is really important because he needs a way to be a threat before he gets inside. What I see happening is that he is refining his jab. His jab looked superb tonight. It shows me that he is getting more comfortable fighting with the tools he used against Mosley.

The reason this is relevant concerning Mayweather is specifically because Cotto needs to be able to box his way in with a good jab. He simply will not beat Mayweather if there is a distance where Floyd can counter him before he tries to attack the body. Therefore if he is integrating his jab and punches when closing the gap, it is very relevant to beating Mayweather! especially because a good Jab is a weakness for Mayweather based on the style in which he counters punches.
