Yuri Foreman Boxing News

By Johnny Barreto: For months, all I heard by these so call boxing writers was that Miguel Cotto was done as a boxer. Supposedly, Yuri Foreman was too big, too fast, too strong and slick for an old, shot and shopworn Miguel Cotto. Not only did they throw Cotto under the bus but they dared [...]

By Jim Dower: Former World Boxing Association junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-1, 1 KO’s) will require surgery to repair his right knee, which he injured during the 7th round of his title bout against challenger Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) last Saturday night at the Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, New York. According to [...]

By Dave Lahr: Manny Pacquiao saw the Yuri Foreman vs. Miguel Cotto fight as an even fight up until the 29-year-old Foreman injured his right knee after slipping on the canvas in the 7th round of Saturday’s WBA junior middleweight title fight at Yankee Stadium, in New York. In an article by Ronnie Nathanielsz at [...]

By Jason Kim: I don’t want to take anything away from former HBO boxing Analyst Lennox Lewis, but I think Roy Jones Jr. did a bang up job as a replacement analyst for Emanuel Steward on Saturday night for the Miguel Cotto vs. Yuri Foreman bout at Yankee Stadium. I especially liked how relaxed Jones [...]

By Matt Stein: Strangely enough, the real star of Saturday’s fight between WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-1, 8 KO’s) and Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) was probably Foreman, the loser of the fight, rather than Cotto. The heart that Foreman showed after injuring his right knee in the 7th round was simply incredible. [...]

By William Mackay: The boxing world is pretty much in rapture over Miguel Cotto’s 9th round TKO win over Yuri Foreman last Saturday night at Yankee Stadium. Fans, and sportswriter’s alike, are practically crowning Cotto the king of the junior middleweight division based on this one win over a fighter that injured himself in the [...]

By Chris Williams: I was stunned to see Miguel Cotto’s legs turn into wet noodles after Yuri Foreman blasted Cotto with two huge right hands in the 3rd round of their fight on Saturday night. Those shots were beauntiful and Cotto’s reaction to them were worrisome to say the least. Instead of taking the shots [...]

By Chris Williams: I read a number of articles from so-called writers that said that Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) dominated former WBA light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-1, 8 KO’s) in Cotto’s 9th round TKO win on Saturday night at Yankee Stadium. Well, I saw the fight and I don’t have the foggiest idea [...]

By Michael Feliciano: NEW YORK — In a third division and under the new management of head trainer Emanuel Steward, Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KOs) prevailed on Saturday night beating Yuri Foreman (28-1, 8 KOs) in round seven to claim the WBA super welterweight title at a strident Yankee Stadium. Then he beat him again [...]

By Eric Torres: Now that Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) has captured his fourth belt and third in another weight class with his 9th round stoppage of WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-1, 8 KO’s), some of you might be asking yourself where does he go from here? I have some ideas on what [...]

By Eric Torres: I am going to start out my article by saying to all those Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) doubters, I told you so. I called an eight round stoppage and missed it by one. I was one of the very few Miguel Cotto believers and writers going into this fight, therefore I [...]

By Kirk Jackson: We had a world class fight between two champions in Yuri Foreman and Miguel Cotto for the WBA Super Welterweight Title in the newly christened Yankee Stadium, and the fight was managed by a world class referee Arthur Mercante Jr. His father Arthur Mercante Sr. is probably smiling down in approval of [...]

By Eric Thomas: Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) captured the WBA junior middleweight crown tonight with a 9th round stoppage over an injured and totally outclassed Yuri Foreman (28-1, 8 KO’s) at the Yankee Stadium, in New York. Cotto fought incredibly well, showing power, speed and movement that he hadn’t shown in ages. Foreman looked [...]

By Sam Gregory: In the main event of the June 5th edition of HBO’s world championship boxing Miguel Cotto34-2 with 27 KO’s challenges undefeated Yuri Foreman 28-0 with 8 KO’s in a scheduled 12 round bout in the junior middleweight division for Foreman’s WBA junior middleweight title at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York. [...]

By Eric Torres: I just wanted to clear things up for you Miguel Cotto doubters out there and give you a little knowledge about Yuri and his so called Physical advantage. Some of you so called writers out there who claim Cotto is too small, I beg to differ and say to you that you [...]

By Chris Williams: Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) sure won’t be getting any stronger by moving up in weight to take on WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) that much is for sure. If Cotto thought this move would save him from having to take off a little more in order to [...]

By Chris Williams: Number #1 ranked WBC junior middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) could fight the winner of tonight’s bout between Miguel Cotto vs. Yuri Foreman bout at Yankee Stadium. It’s kind of a scary thought, but a reality none the less. The 24-year-old Chavez Jr., the son of boxing great [...]

By Jason Kim: It’s doubtful that Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) will be fighting very much longer, because he’s already wealthy and is running out of big-named opponents for him to fight. In addition to that, Cotto has taken a boatload of punishment during his nine-year pro career. Cotto obviously can’t keep taking these beatings [...]

By Dave Lahr: Emanuel Steward seems to be in 7th heaven now that he’s been training former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) for his big fight tonight against WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) at the Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, New York. Steward has become accustomed to fighting [...]

By Jim Dower: Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) comes into Saturday night’s fight against WBA light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) in bad shape having lost two of his last four fights and struggling in almost all his bouts now instead of dominating. Cotto doesn’t look the same after getting beaten down by [...]

By Peter Wells: Miguel Cotto has been here before, in a must win situation after coming off a tough, brutal knockout defeat. Last time he succeeded but against a fighter at his own preferred weight and a fighter that lost the fight as much as Cotto won it. This time though he is taking on [...]

By Dave Lahr: In looking at today’s weight-in between Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) and WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) it was bizarre at how small Cotto looked compared to Foreman. Seriously, Cotto looked like Foreman’s kid brother when they were next each other. I’m not saying they looked alike in [...]

By Jason Kim: Trainer Emanuel Steward took a big risk in selecting Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) to train rather than taller WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s). Steward appears to be gambling that the more popular, bigger punching Cotto will have more life left in his deteriorating boxing career rather than [...]

By Chris Williams: At today’s weigh-in, former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s), looking really small compared to his Jewish opponent, weighed in at 153.5 for his bout against World Boxing Association junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) set for Yankee Stadium on Saturday night. Foreman, who looks much bigger and [...]

By Jason Kim: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum was incredibly honest in talking about whether former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) has anything left in the tank going into his fight against World Boxing Association junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) this Saturday night at Yankee Stadium, in New York.

By Jason Kim: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum reports that tickets are still available for Saturday night’s clash between Top Rank fighters WBA light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) and Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) at Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, New York. The stadium fits 50,000, but Arum is expecting between 20,000 [...]

By Ricardo Lucero: Miguel Angel Cotto is one of the most civil and gentlemanly fighter in the sports of boxing today.He has very close ties to his family, especially his late father. A loving family man who dotes on his kids and wife. He won the silver medal in the junior world championships in 1998 [...]

By Dave Lahr: Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) is not only looking a lot shorter than WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) but he also looks a lot smaller in terms of his frame. Cotto looks overall teeny compared to the 29-year-old Foreman. I might dismiss the disparity in this fight under [...]

By Chris Williams: It was frightening to see how much punishment that former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) took in his last fight against the blazing fast Manny Pacquiao in Cotto’s last fight last year in November. Cotto was never remotely competitive with Pacquiao and ended up getting blasted apart round after [...]
