Cotto Going To Show Everyone Why He's Special....

[AG11]

I've had questions about him in the past but he has always proved me wrong. Tonight will be his toughest test to date and I beleive its his time. He's going to pull it out tonight! GO COTTO! Off to the Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to break it to you guys but..... Shane will win no doubt ;)

I can not believe Cotto is a favorite over Mosley. Mosley has fought much bigger fighters and bigger punchers. He can definitely take whatever Cotto has to dish.

But Cotto was a questionable chin, being wobbled several times by much lesser fighters. Coupled with Mosley's size advatage and much longer reach, I predict Mosley to win either UD or TKO.

THen the stage will be set for PBF-Mosley, on which Mosley will look old (because he is) and lose.

Cotto wins and proves the doubters wrong about him yet again!

Cotto did a great job and proves himself yet again!! DON'T BET AGAINST COTTO because he will prove you wrong. The fight itself was awesome. The crowd was a little crazier at the Judah fight but it was still electric inside the Garden.

I couldn't believe how fast Cotto was, able to (almost) match Mosley's speed.Cotto's jab and right hand were phenominal all night long. He has added so much more to his game. He is so much more of a complete fighter now.

The fight was CLOSE. I though might have gone to Mosley but then thought Cotto had the hometown advantage. Re-watched and scored it again and had it for Cotto 7-5. CLOSE fight though.

I have to be honest...I was a little dissapointed with Cotto moving back the last few rounds. I know he was still fighting in spots but I wish he would have really closed the show and kept doing what he had done all fight. Just keep going forward and throw punches. You could see Mosley's confidence start to dwindle...and just then is when Cotto starts to backup.

Either way...a great performance by BOTH guys. Mosley is the classiest fighter to come out of the sport (or ANY sport for that matter) for the 20 years. Such a good guy. I wish him the best.

Nice post AG...........Got to agree with everything you said there , I like Cotto & he is getting better with every fight..:good

The fight was extremely close and could easily have gone either way.It was not a dominant performance by any means.But it did show that Mosley is still an elite operator at 47.Where he goes from here i dont know.But this much is sure Cotto will have his hands full with guys like PBF Williams Margarito and Cintron.Cotto showed what he can do with educated pressure in previous fights but he left me wanting in this bout with Shane.
