Canelo vs. Cotto

After the fight report.

The fight was long anticipated. But was it a good fight? Cotto was the Cotto I expected to see. I thought his previous three fights were all against underperforming or out of there element fighters. He was only impressive when fighting against a lower tiered fighter. So was he as good as the hype? Not in my mind.

Canelo, looked sharp. He looked better than he has in his last few fight. I thought his performance was very good. I thought he could have finished combos and punches better. There were times when he stunned Cotto and could have hit him with big shots. Possibly even finished him in earlier rounds. He needs to grow that killer instinct and put fighters away. I believe he could have knocked Cotto out by the sixth or seventh round if he would have capitalized on Cottos freezing when he hit Cotto with big punches.

The fight wasn’t a super fight. It was a good fight just not a super fight. After the fight Canelo said he was ready to fight Golovkin. Canelo is tough and big and has heart but I don’t think he’s ready to fight Golovkin. I truly believe that Golovkin will beat him. And most likely knock him out. It will be a great fight. But I see Golovkin winning by KO.
