Anybody got a recap?

Canelo is the bigger physical man.
Canelo landed crushing power shots. To the head and body.
Canelo is looking like a slightly lesser version of Julio Cesar Chavez. He walks you down and just punishes you.

Cotto is great. He just chose someone that was too big.
Cotto hit Canelo like he was hitting a heavy bag but like tapping the bag. He couldn't really set his feet because Canelo made him pay. Even when Cotto could dig in and deliver power shots. They were missing power,

It was a mismatch.

Not sure why Cotto came in so light, he was 1 1/2 pounds under the 155 limit and didnt look much bigger then that last night.

If it was his strategy to be lighter and quicker then he needed to be more active earlier in the fight to try and tire Canelo out.

Overall it was a pretty good fight but not nearly as good as the Varga / Miura fight. That was a total war!

He walks around close to that weight (160 I believe).... Nelo walks around at 170 or above.... So after rehydration, I wasn't surprised at the weight difference.

All was lost for Cotto when he couldn't use his feet and speed to then stop and set to land that devastated left hook. Because Canelo was coming with a right hand or uppercut.

Honestly, I don't think the Cotto left hook could have hurt Canelo. Canelo keeps his long arms/elbows at his side.

You should have titled this thread "Cotto v Alverez... And I hate Mayweather!"

Oh don't be so sensitive. I thought you would get that it was for you... As a jab. :p

I have many times outlined the greatness of mayweather and his mastery in the ring,

You see.... Now that I had to go into full explanation.... It wasn't as much fun. Lol

I get it, I'm taking it light... but I also knew, this thread would have a Mayweather footnote!;)

Hmmmm.... Didn't you add a mayweather footnote to a Cowboys thread last week? Lol

All good.

Floyd will have fight #50

Bank it, book it, bet that!


He is currently in silent marketing mode.

of course I did... we were in the moment... ;)

ok
lol...

I don't think their will be a 50.... but I wouldn't doubt it....
If there is a 50th, I want to see Mayweather v Thurman.

But for now, I want to see Canelo v Triple G,
&
A healthy Ward (don't know if we will get this) v Kovalev

Triple G is bad arse.

They got this Tyson fury going against klitzsko. Hope fury knocks him out.

I guarantee mayweather #50
He wants the record.

Zero doubt.
Told you... Silent marketing.
