Cotto-Foreman: Is Miguel going to get wiped out again?

Image: Cotto-Foreman: Is Miguel going to get wiped out again?By William Mackay: Miguel Cotto is practically guaranteeing a win over WBA light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman in their June 5th fight at Yankee Stadium.

If this was two or three years ago, I would completely agree with Cotto and believe that he would have way too much offensive firepower for the light hitting Foreman. However, the man has taken some major beatings in the past two years and nothing is a given with him, no matter who his opponent is.

Cotto-Foreman: Does Miguel have anything left?

By Jim Dower: The fight between WBA light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) and former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) is less than a month away and there is questions whether the 29-year-old Cotto has anything at all left in the tank. On June 5th, Cotto will be stepping up a weight class to fight Foreman for his World Boxing Association junior middleweight title at Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, New York. For boxing fans, they don’t quite understand why Cotto, a well known fighter, is interested in taking on what some people see as an obscure paper champion in Foreman.

Cotto vs. Foreman: Does Miguel have enough left to beat Yuri?

By Dan Ambrose: Former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) has been in several huge wars in the past two years and has lost two out of his last four fights. Next month on June 5th, the 5’7” Cotto will be stepping up in weight to take on World Boxing Association junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) in pursuit of his WBA title at Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, New York. Many people see this as a move for Cotto to get another big money fight against Manny Pacquiao, who stopped Cotto last year in a 12th round TKO in November.

Cotto-Foreman: Will Miguel fail in his attempt at winning the WBA title?

Image: Cotto-Foreman: Will Miguel fail in his attempt at winning the WBA title?By Chris Williams: Miguel Cotto has taken big punishment in three out of his last four fights and June 5th, he will be moving up in weight to fight World Boxing Association light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) at the Yankee Stadium. This is a move that Cotto is making to hopefully grab Foreman’s title, which in turn could position Cotto for a 2nd fight with Manny Pacquiao. There’s little reason for fans to want to see a second fight between the two, because the first fight, a 12th round knockout by Pacquiao, was not a really interesting one because of Pacquiao’s total domination of the fight.

Cotto needs to beat Foreman to get second shot at Pacquiao

Image: Cotto needs to beat Foreman to get second shot at Pacquiaoby William Mackay: If former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) wants to keep alive in the Manny Pacquiao lottery, he’s going to have to get by World Boxing Association (WBA) light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) next month on June 5th at Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, New York. Cotto, 29, will have a huge audience in the stadium to watch his fight with Foreman and to root him on to victory. If this fight were to have taken place two years ago, before his fight with Antonio Margarito, I would see Cotto taking the fight without too many problems.

Both of those losses have been by TKO, and some boxing fans are whispering that Cotto may be over-the-hill.

Recently, Cotto signed on legendary trainer Emanuel Steward to start training him for his next bout against World Boxing Association light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman on June 5th at Yankee Stadium, in New York.

Miguel Cotto: Can he win?

Image: Miguel Cotto: Can he win?By PHILIP H. ANSELMO: The biggest question going into the Miguel Cotto-Yuri Foreman fight is not whether Cotto can win, it’s how much left is there of the former WBA/WBO welterweight champ? Is his chin permanently dented? Is there any way he can reclaim, or refine his boxing style under the tutelage of Emanuel Steward enough to both, win the fight and/or do it in impressive enough fashion to legitimately be “back” as a viable threat at Jr. middleweight?

Cotto-Foreman: Miguel could wind up losing in front of a huge crowd at Yankee Stadium

Image: Cotto-Foreman: Miguel could wind up losing in front of a huge crowd at Yankee StadiumBy Chris Williams: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is very pleased that he was able to land the Yankee Stadium to put his two Top Rank fighters Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) and WBA light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s) together in a fight that could draw as many as 50,000 boxing fans in the Bronx, New York. However, if you’re a fan of Cotto, 29, this fight could end up being a horrible event for him with him getting beaten up, and possibly stopped in front of a large New York area crowd.
