“Sugar” Shane Mosley VS Miguel “Junito” Cotto
“Sugar” Shane Mosley VS Miguel “Junito” Cotto
Next Saturday, November 10th, “Sugar” Shane Mosley (44-4, 37 kos) and Miguel “Junito” Cotto (30-0, 25 kos) will face off at Madison Square Garden in a fight that has the potential for Fight of the Year honors. It is a classic fight between the boxer and the puncher, speed vs power, hand speed vs body punching, and a rising star vs a rare legitimate crossover star.
Shane Mosley has been one of the most visible boxing stars in the last 15 years. Two wins over Oscar De La Hoya have cememted his reputation as a superstar. After those two wins he was considered to be one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world. But after losing twice to Vernon “The Viper” Forrest and losing twice to Ronald “Winky” Wright, Sugar didn’t look too sweet. He has made a nice comeback by twice beating “Ferocious” Fernando Vargas after most experts in boxing had begun to write him off.

Miguel Cotto is a rising star in boxing on the real. The Caguas, Puerto Rico native is undefeated but his chin has been questionable in some fights. His body punching, however, is some of the most devestating since the days of Julio Ceasar Chavez. His last win, a brutalization of Zab “Super” Judah was very impressive. Cotto has always been able to solve any problems thrown his way.
It is easy to think that Shane will stay out of danger and speed his way to victory. But at 36 years old Shane has been slowing down a little. Still, he will have a big speed advantage over Cotto. Cotto is going to need to do much the same thing he did to Zab Judah- rough him up and throw wrecking ball like punches to the body. Mosley seems to be a better fighter than Judah. But I think Cotto’s hunger and determination will get him a late round win. After all, it would be better for boxing if Cotto can win, as boxing will have another true star. Huge fight with a lot at stake. Also, since the fight will be in Madison Square Garden, expect Cotto to have a huge crowd of Puerto Ricans cheering him on. Either way Mosley VS Cotto shapes up to be a great fight.
