Round by Round: Shane Mosley vs. Miguel Cotto

Why you say that. Hes good at running and holding. Cruz may not be able to land enough to get the stoppage. He is also landing his left hand.

 

And his legs are terrible. Seems like he falls off balance everytime Santa Cruz lands.

He looks terrible.

Round 3: Santa Cruz

 

Absolutely a shot fighter is Joel.

 

Hopefully Kellerman will recognize Santa Cruz as the real champ afterwards. ::

 

Joel can't pull the trigger,being rusty and old is not good.:nono:

 

pretty much.

I know Casa will never admit to it, but hopefully all of the whiny bitch writers who've been hanging on to Casa's every word will now get the difference between "being ducked" and "not warranting consideration." How the fuck any one can be a fan of this is beyond me.

 

Cassa is fighting so shitty that the Ricans will root for the Mexican.

Round 4: Santa Cruz

 

and you can all but write in pen, Santa Cruz-Pac, March 15 PPV

 

:clap: COTTO got to the Garden 2 HOURS AGO>...

 

Casamyor lost the fourth big as well.
He is now trying to deliberately butt Santa Cruz and cut him to bail out of the fight.

 

Cotto is in the building :bears: :bears:

The crowd is going crazy :bears:

 

Casa just needs to throw a headbutt to get himself started and shake off the cobwebs.

 

Casamayor is cut now as well as he blew the fifth.

They meet in the middle of the ring..they start with a clinch..Right hand by Cruz, left hand by Casamayor, right by Cruz, clinch. Alot of slappy punches though. Jab/left hand by CAsamayor, as Cruz bent down to his height. Left by Casamayor, Cruz stalking but anytime he gets close Casamayor CLINCH.

Jab/left/jab by Casamayor, right hand by Cruz following Casamayor across the ring, right hand by Cruz chasing Casamayor across the ropes now, CLINCH. Right hand by Cruz, another, CLinch, right to the bdoy by Cruz.

Cruz throwing the right hand like he doesn't give a fuck wherever it lands...

Round 5: Santa Cruz..

 

Shane looks happy. He must have heard Kellermans preiction.

 

The only thing that worries me is that SC is absolutely useless past 8,9 rounds. I'm almost rooting for a fight-ending headbutt from Casa in the next couple of rounds

 

Casamayor did better in the 6th, but lost it still.

They meet in the middle of the ring..both come out jabbing. Right hand by Cruz, CLINCH by Casamayor. Cruz missing with a left hook/right hand combo. Cruz needs TO JAB a bit more, Straight left by Casamayor, Cruz Looping punches would've made for an EASY FIGHT for a PRIME CASAMAYOR...

Casamayor still moving around/away...Left hand by Casamayor, Right hand by Cruz, left hook by Cruz, straight left by Casamayor. Cruz SWITCHES southpaw...lands some hard body shots, and Casamayor CLINCHES, Jab/right hand by Cruz, Jab,jab, CLINCH by Casamayor then he jumps up trying to stick his shoulders into Cruz chin..

Cruz still southpawl..

Round 6: Santa Cruz...closer?.:dunno:

 

They are a bit too negative Casamayor landed the better punches in the 6th round, but he won´t win the fight unless he steps into his countershots.

 

Cassa's running will keep him in check for that. He won't even try and go for a KO even if SC gets tired.

Anyways sloppy fight. Juan Diaz DESTROYS these guys.

 

they're negative on him because this shit is painful to watch.

dsimon writes;

had the same thought.:dunno:

Aww Maxie!!!:doh:

 

Good avice from the corner telling him to get close before punching.

 

Casamayor landed a few good shots, but looks awful.
Come out and say it Lampley and Steward, Juan kills these guys.

 

I can't beleive this is the same beautiful fighter I saw in the 1992 Olympics.

 

I'm thinking he's at least 5 years older than he/his people claim to be the case.
