Passing of the torch from cotto to canelo? Completely different fighters. Hate to say it again but the floyd lesson was the torch passing. Canelo adapted, and took away cottos best weapon, something cotto was never known for but........floyd was

Nah
I mean cotto was the A side
Now canelo will probably be the a side for rest of his career
His body language looked like he understood and respected that

Former four-division world champion Miguel Cotto arrived back in Puerto Rico early Monday morning. The ex-champ took the loss hard in Las Vegas and wasn’t talking to the press, however, he briefly discussed the fight with Primera Hora. “When you have the opportunity to dominate eight of the twelve rounds, you don’t expect anything less than victory,” he said.

Cotto isn’t alone in his assessment. Mexican commentators on TV Azteca had Cotto winning 117-111. And, the Mexican newspaper La Prensa went with the headline “Robbery in Las Vegas; Champion Canelo.”

Cotto threw more than twice as many jabs as Canelo, connecting on 54 compared to Canelo’s 37, but Canelo had a decisive edge in power shots 118-75.

The official judges scoring the fight weren’t giving Cotto anything. Dave Moretti (119-109) awarded Cotto just one round, Burt Clements (118-110) scored two rounds for Cotto, and John McKaie (117- 111) saw three rounds going Cotto’s way.

Upon hearing the scores, Cotto’s only comment was “Wow!”

canelo is a guy that throws 4 punches and is exhausted. thats a kind of guy that you can steal rounds from. there were a lot of swing rounds in this fight. cotto could have swung a lot of rounds and took advantage of many of the dead gaps in every round by working a jab to create a contrast to canelo doing nothing. i think he would have had to steal 2 to 3 swing rounds to make it a draw or a win on a lot of cards. i think roach really needed to try to endow some more urgency instead of the everything is ok announcement he was giving to cotto every round. there were a lot of swing rounds that cotto had to try to go out and get but would not.


a lot of short fighters had great jabs.

Danny Garcia to fight Robert Guerrero on Jan. 23 at Staples Center

750x422


By Lance Pugmire


Former world champion Danny Garcia will fight former two-division world champion Robert Guerrero on Jan. 23 at Staples Center in the "Premier Boxing Champions on Fox" card.

Garcia (31-0, 18 knockouts) vacated his light-welterweight belt this year before defeating former welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi with a ninth-round technical knockout in August.

Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs), from Gilroy, Calif., participated in the PBC main event on NBC in March, losing to unbeaten Keith Thurman, and beating Aron Martinez by split-decision in June at StubHub Center.

Fox, which will broadcast three PBC fights in prime time through June as part of a multifight deal with manager Al Haymon's organization, will also televise the fight on Fox Deportes at 5 p.m. PST. Tickets, ranging from $25 to $300, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday on axs.com and at the Staples Center box office.

Guerrero, who lost a unanimous decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2013, previously claimed featherweight and super-featherweight belts and boasts victories over Andre Berto and Joel Casamayor.

Garcia, from Philadelphia, has defeated Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Erik Morales twice, Zab Judah and Lamont Peterson since 2012.

Including Cotto, but he couldn't utilize it well enough against Canelo due to what I said
