Im throwing some coli cash on Bombardero
there are some similarities with Floyd and Bernard...especially pertaining to defense. the major difference is though....Bernard has a low activity rate when compared to Floyd. Couple that with the fact that Floyd has a high rate of accuracy and the recipe for upset doesnt look as great as it did for Hopkins-Taylor.
Maybe it would if Canelo was a high activity rate fighter himself. You want to force Floyd to fight faster than he wants too...at the same time...you need stamina to do it. Canelo showing a tendency to tire...doesnt bode well for him.
nikkas need to stop with the Canelo impressed vs Trout bullshyt he won 4 clear rounds thats it
How can you make an assessment on a fighter from a fight 66% of boxing experts felt he lost, a fight where vanilla ass Trout had to abandon his jab and come in reckless because of the open scoring bullshyt which caused him to get knockdown, a fight where Canelo fat ass was sucking wind after 2 like it was his first time in the gym, a fight where the ginger resorted to getting on his bycyle after getting his head boxed off because he knew he would be awarded round after round and the decision no matter what..............
It's all good Floyd and Canelo weight difference isnt as much as televised according to the pics, the ginger would get his soon
Miguel Cotto vs Sergio Martinez in the works according to Martinez, I wonder how this plays out since HBO vs Showtime, Cotto isn't technically a GB fighter though, let see how this plays out
Cotto makes easy work of Serg he learned his lesson by trying to spark a fighter bigger than him, he'll pum the jab and continue the exposal Chavez and Murray started. Cotto finally about to get that career defining win

To Cotto's benefit, Martinez's left hand probably won't be a big factor as it was in previous fights but I can't fathom a Middleweight version of Cotto let alone he's not a real Jr Middleweight. This is probably Cotto's best shot to beat Martinez, but I don't see it being easy work at all. Martinez ain't perfect but he'll fight and Cotto still gasses late.

fukk you talking about breh did I hear gassing as a concern for Cotto but not Sergio the guy known for taking the middle of fights off leaving himself in hotly contested brawls with C Class fighters
Martinez has shown he has no answer for a jab, even lowly ones like Murray slow telegraphed ass displayed and he still had no answer, couple that with Cotto's ability to cut off the ring(far better than Chavezs), Serg will be breathing fumes by 6 eating jabs.
All Cotto has to do is not foolishly rush into Sergio, stay close but out of his punching distance and cause him to back up constantly, or lung in, Cotto will then see Serg only has 2 punches a jab and a straight, and uses the same bullshyt ass predictable one one two that the great Manny fell in love with earlier and latter in his career. Cotto needs a general to help with the strategy though Diaz(who he dropped) is good but his in ring advice is lacking, he needs a Roach, Garcia or Bro Nazeem who helped in the Marg 2 match to keep him focused on the gameplan...................................

But we can't talk about Cotto like it's 2007-2008. I'm an admitted Cotto stan and will outright admit he does gas and 2nd guesses his shots. He did it with Trout, Floyd, Pacquiao, even in some parts in the 2nd Margarito fight. Cotto's best shot right now is Martinez is older, showing signs of decline, broken left hand w/ out an apparent tune up before facing Cotto. Martinez himself knows he's reaching the end and he wants to cash out. Martinez can be hurt by bigger guys, but I don't see Cotto's left hook to the body coming out of retirement and or his shots really being powerful against a legit Middleweight. Can he outbox Sergio for 12 rounds and not get hit?
I highly doubt it, but I'll be cheering Cotto on.But we can't talk about Cotto like it's 2007-2008. I'm an admitted Cotto stan and will outright admit he does gas and 2nd guesses his shots.

Vs Floyd and Pacquiao he took brutal ass whippings so what he gets tired in 10, and Trout leaned his weight on Cotto, never no huffing and puffing, like Serg sucking wind with his mouth all open, dragging his feet and keep his hands completely down. And miss me with this Sergio can beat hurt by bigger guys he was drop by a blown up WW and koe'd by Margarito in like 5 , Sergio aint superman, Cotto doesnt have pop but enough to put Serg China chinned ass on the mat like he does damn near every match. Unfortunately Sergio is so overrated he'll get a million but but buts but truth be told he never was on the of Miguel, a green Margarito sparked him, his best win is vs a B class at WW in Williams, euro bums is steadily boxing his head off and making him meet the canvas, Serg aint shyt

more on the James Kirkland arrest

By Rick Reeno
A few days ago, BoxingScene.com reported that junior middleweight contender James Kirkland had been arrested for assault in Austin, Texas. The boxer was taken to the Travis County Jail and held on $5,000 bail.
According to official police documents obtained by BoxingScene.com, on June 15th there was an incident between Kirkland and his girlfriend of two years, Frances Diane Campbell. The two of them were hanging out with friends and drinking at a night club off of East 12th street.
Apparently Campbell became angry with Kirkland for checking out another woman [the mother of his child] at the night club. Campbell, who felt disrespected, asked Kirkland to step outside of the night club and the two of them would proceed to argue. They exchanged words and left together in a car to go home.
During the car ride, they once started arguing and Campbell tells police that Kirkland allegedly grabbed her by the neck. Campbell, who was driving, pulled over in the parking lot of a local CVS Pharmacy and the alleged physical confrontation continued. She told police that Kirkland once again grabbed her by the neck. In order to calm him down, Campbell says she was forced to apologize.
Once the second argument finished and they went home, Campbell ran upstairs in fear of further violence and called the police. Upon arriving to her house, the police were told by Campbell that Kirkland caused pain and discomfort, but he did not strangle her hard enough to cut off the path of air.
Police found a 5-6 inch scratch to the front of her neck and finger nail/finger prints on the back, left and right side of her neck.
Kirkland is still involved in an ongoing legal battle to break his promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions and his managerial agreement with Cameron Dunkin/Michael Miller. He was last seen in the ring in March 2012, winning by way of a controversial disqualification over Carlos Molina.
In 2009, Kirkland was arrested on a widely reported firearm charge. He was sent to prison and released in September of 2010.

Canelo a smart dude... he had to make the fight look close like it could go either way or else you know damn well Floydie wouldn't have wanted no parts of ginger.. funny is I think Pac tried that same shyt with Bradley and it backfired. .. but the difference was that for some reason in the canelo/trout fight they were able to see the judges scores for every round... why you think canelo fell back them last few rounds being much less active?? He knew he had the fight in the bag by rnd 9
You right he was gassed
