Cotto vs. Foreman

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 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 [...]

By Jason Kim: I have a bad feeling about this Saturday’s fight between WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) and Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) at Yankee Stadium, in New York. Anytime you have a much popular fighter like Cotto going against a pretty much unknown fighter like Foreman, you often get [...]

By Dave Lahr: Former World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) doesn’t think he’s a fading fighter all, saying “I’m better than ever” at the final press conference for his fight against WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) this Saturday night at the Yankee Stadium, in New York. [...]

By Dave Lahr: There have been conflicting reports about the ticket sales for Saturday’s bout between WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) vs. Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) at Yankee Stadium, in New York. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum reported that over 12,000 tickets have been sold for the fight and he’s [...]

By Jason Kim: Two-time WBA super middleweight champion Anthony Mundine (38-3, 23 KO’s) is hoping to get a shot at unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the near future or at the very least a chance to fight the June 5th winner of the Yankee Stadium clash between WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman bout. Mundine, [...]

By Matt Stein: Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) has a lot to lose this Saturday night against WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) in their battle at Yankee Stadium, in New York. Cotto’s new trainer Emanuel Steward, who has been brought in to try and resurrect Cotto’s sinking career, knows full well [...]

By Jim Dower: Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) looks slower, smaller and not up to the task as he faces WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) this Saturday night at Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, New York. At 5’7”, Cotto wasn’t even a normal sized welterweight, small for the weight class and [...]

BRONX, NY (June 2, 2010) — Good morning Mr. and Mrs. America and all the boxing fans at sea. Let’s go to press. WHO’S ON FIRST? . . . We know that Miguel Cotto and Yuri Foreman will engage in the first world championship fight in Yankee Stadium but who will be forever remembered as [...]

By Ryan Dunn: As many people seem to have hopped off the Cotto Express bandwagon after he took a bludgeoning against Margarito, then went on to lose by TKO in a lop-sided affair versus P4P king Manny Pacquiao, so too have many hopped on the bandwagon of Yuri Foreman. But despite a strong performance against [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Maybe Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) would have beaten Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) three or more years ago and then again maybe he wouldn’t. But the way that Cotto is looking now, I seriously doubt he’s going to beat Foreman without any defense and taking the vicious shots that Cotto has [...]

By Chris Williams: Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) has taken an extensive amount of punishment in a handful of fights in the past two years and there are some people who think that Cotto is a shot fighter. Cotto still has good power, jab and all around offensive skills, but like always, he’s lacking on [...]

By Dave Lahr: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says he wants to have two fights a year taking place in one of the huge stadiums, either in New York, Texas or possibly in Los Angeles. Arum’s recent fight with Top Rank fighters Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey sold remarkably well at the Cowboys Stadium, in [...]

By Chris Williams: I already can hear the excuses coming from boxing fans of Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) if he loses to junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) this Saturday night at the Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, New York. Cotto’s fans will likely start on the angle that the 5’7” Cotto [...]

By Chris Williams: If WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman puts the finish on Miguel Cotto this Saturday night, and if Manny Pacquiao isn’t able to have a fight put together between him and Floyd Mayweather Jr., then I think Pacquiao needs to fight Foreman next rather than someone else like Antonio Margarito. It’s only [...]

BOB ARUM: It is unquestionable that Miguel Cotto is the most popular fighter in New York. He has demonstrated that year after year with tremendous crowds at Madison Square Garden and now he has the honor and privilege of fighting at the Home of Champions. Everybody in New York is talking about his fight with [...]

By Chris Williams: Former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) is under the impression that’s going to be able to cut off the ring on World Boxing Association junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) this Saturday night and pressure in their fight at the Yankee Stadium, in New York. Cotto, who [...]

By Jason Kim: This Saturday night at the Yankee Stadium in New York, WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) will defend his World Boxing Association title against former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s). Foreman, 29, will have the size advantage over Cotto, and the better footwork. Cotto has looked [...]

By Eric Torres: I have been an avid boxing fan for quite sometime now and must say that Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) is one of the bravest warriors I have had the pleasure to watch. A lot of fighters out there can learn a thing or two about class and professionalism. Cotto has not [...]

By Jim Dower: Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) has taken a pounding in the last three years in the ring, taking countless shots to the head, suffering multiple cuts and too numerous to count bone jarring shots. Cotto, once unbeaten and considered perhaps the best fighter in the welterweight division, has now lost two out [...]

By Jim Dower: WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) is not only taking the toughest fight of his career against former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) on June 5th at the Yankee Stadium, in New York, but Foreman is also facing the best offensive fighter in his career with [...]

Cotto, 29, will [...]
