Cotto vs. Foreman

By Chris Williams: It’s still difficult to really grade whether there was any significant improvement in Miguel Cotto’s game from his last fight against Yuri Foreman on June 5th. On the one hand, Cotto’s new trainer Emanuel Steward had him using his jab and throwing to the body compared to how Cotto had been fighting [...]

By Matt Stein: Former WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-1, 8 KO’s) may have lost his fight and his WBA title to Miguel Cotto on June 5th at the Yankee Stadium, but in this case both fighters came out a winner in this fight. And Foreman may be the bigger winner because it put [...]

By Jason Kim: Last Saturday night, Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) resurrected his floundering career with a 9th round stoppage win over WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman at Yankee Stadium. Cotto showed much better defensive skills, movement and the use of his jab than he had in any one fight in his nine-year pro [...]

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 Dave Lahr: Boxing fans are raving how great Miguel Cotto looked in beating WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman last Saturday night in an 9th round TKO win at Yankee Stadium.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 [...]
