Mayweather vs Cotto



-->>In the past few days, I have relished watching the Mayweather-Ortiz 24/7 series just to get into details of what boxers go through before their big bouts. Ortiz was really confident and Garcia, his trainer really tried hard to bring a sense of calm before the storm. While most boxers do well handling the pre-fight period, there is always a realization of the storm ahead of them and the danger is that it eats them right from the inside and they just fall apart on the fight night. Ortiz was a casualty of this fake courage and when he landed less than 15% of his power punches the whole four rounds, the shell just fell off and chose the easier way out. I still feel Ortiz could have gotten up if he really wanted the fight to continue, he had been nailed with punches of similar nature for the most part of the fight.

Cotto, the warrior he might be, is perfectly aware of what awaits him on May 5. First of all he has to somehow land killer punches and bring down Floyd Mayweather for the first time in his career. That may not require a miracle, but is highly unlikely. The other way would be for Cotto to outwork Floyd by boxing him. This means that he needs to have good movement, good speed and generally, he needs to work harder by throwing more punches. The second scenario is the one that really requires a miracle. I don’t see Cotto out-landing Mayweather without getting punished. At the right time Mayweather vs Cotto Tickets is now go to sale.
