cotto is good at cutting the ring , very goood at imposing his will. we will see..

he is..but thats also where he tends to eat a lot of shots. its gonna be tough for him to get inside and stay inside on Sergio. its a good match that I look forward too but despite the layoff, I think Serge may look really impressive in this one.

no, I dont mean skill wise, I meant mental wise. Thurman is very confident...but he does know when to fall back. he is definitely not a complete fighter like Shane was at lw...but I see a lil bit of dog in Thurman mentally.

I see that as well. He the doesn't come across like he'll engage in that silent agreement type shyt.

Thurman's seems like the type that you gotta actually KO if you wanna stop him from coming at you.

That's why he's the #Thurminator. You gotta crush him completely or he'll keep gunning for that chin.

very possible but not likely imo. all Sergio really needs to do is fight smart and make sure his stamina is up to par and he will win.
Sergio the notorious 4-5 round mid fight napper Sergio


He isn't gonna to win this one he looked like complete shyt his last fight, mess up his knee, coming off a year of inactivity, literally his ass touches the canvas every other match, and he has conceded that he wont be 100% come fight time


It aint looking good for Sergio, you just waltz not a world class fight with a world class talent opponent with all those questions and expect to win

True, but he lacks the physicality to really make that work. That's like saying Leo Santa Cruz should be able to cut the ring off impose his will on Broner or hell even a guy like Beltran.

If it was so easy for Cotto to do what cats want him to do (pressure and impose his will) he would have prolly did that against Trout who isn't even as good as Sergio but also shared a physical advantage.

Chavez and his big non-throwing punches ass had the same problem Cotto will have.

I mean I want Sergio to get his ass kicked too. He'll I even picked Chavez to win and in that final rd I was feeling real good about it, but I digress. :snoop:

Thurman beating on D level fighters is the equivalent of a high schooler looking beastly vs Jr high school fighters, lets see how aggressive he is vs fighters his level....This cotton candy ass nikka nearly withered at the first sign of moisture v s a Blown up Diaz, Thurman was about to make Khan look elite level, if not for Diaz quit job

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
How he gonna rematch Sergio, when he had Sergio bed ridden for a year with a discombobulated knee.............

Sergio whooped his ass for 11 rounds straight.. And won in dominant fasion.. thats what the world saw.. Not Sergio's messed up knee after the fight

the real fight would be GGG vs Quillin. but it wont happen. that fight will sort out who is the best out of 2 contenders. (not paper champs) I was disappointed in Choc's last fight. I would favor GGG but it would be a stern test for him

If he was on HBO it would really be outta control. Like Berto was...getin million dollar paydays off the likes of mickey rodriguez. :mjlol:

I doubt it. Shyt like that was the reason Ross Greenburg had to go.

That whole Greenburg era was a gravy train. Nyggas getting paid to fight bums. Why even bother to step up

Sergio has no clinch and no defense, people seemingly think Chavez did absolutely shyt, he landed 46% of his punches and 50% of his power shots, now what would a technically superior Cotto do

And the trench work(which Cotto has shown a superior ability to cut off the ring) aint the only issue Sergio's hands down d with Cotto's deceptive laser jab will cause Sergio all hell, he doesnt posses the foot speed at 40 to pull off the hands down style without getting touched, and Sergio gets touched every match and put on his ass
