STYLE

Imsajjar:

Stalker umani fiżiċi li kaxxi mill-pożizzjoni ortodoss, Cotto żviluppat ħiliet boxing aħjar iżda għadu jippreferi li ġejjin dritt 'il quddiem, u jilbsu avversarji isfel ma attakk korp vizzjuż. Cotto favors hooks and uppercuts to straight punches and turns every bout into a war of attrition. Doesn’t have lights-out punching power but is very punishing. Most of his stoppage victories have come late, wara avversarju tiegħu tintlibes isfel. Will often leave himself open to counters when trying to unleash his offense.

Alvarez:

Aggressiva, ġlied fiżika mal-ħiliet boxing sottovalutata u quickness, Alvarez spiss jilbes avversarji isfel bi pressjoni konsistenti u puntelli iebsa żżejjed. Will use feints and counters to throw is opponents timing off and create openings for a strength-sapping body attack. Carries fight-changing power in both hands but sometimes doesn’t throw enough punches. While he is most known for his offensive skills, Alvarez jkollhom deċenti, iżda mhux kbira, ħiliet difensivi żliq u imblukkar puntelli.

QAWWA

Imsajjar:

* Attakk ġisem - Cotto huwa pjuttost possibilment l zgħir korp aqwa fid-isport llum. He wings thunderous hooks on the inside that make contact with whatever is available: kustilji, ispallejn, torso, sider, u l-armi, b'riżultati tikkastiga.

* Qawwa - Cotto huwa ġlied qawwi u fiżika. Even as he has grown from junior welterweight up to middleweight, huwa jibqa forza fiżika, kapaċi liebes l isfel avversarji akbar.

* Qalb - Cotto twettaq ħafna ta 'kburija meta passi fil-ring. He has been in a number of wars where he’s been cut, knocked down, jew f'sitwazzjonijiet avversi oħra, u Cotto wriet qalb champion tal.

Alvarez:

* Power ippanċjar - Alvarez twettaq Thunder fiż-żewġ fists. He is knockout power in either hand, iżda aktar arma devastanti tiegħu jirrisjedi fl ganċ xellug tiegħu. A single left hook rendered the iron-jawed Carlos Baldomir unconscious and his knockout of James Kirkland was a potential knockout of the year candidate.

* Qawwa - Alvarez huwa fiżikament jimmaturaw u ħoxna mibnija ġlied mal-qawwa uncanny. He is effective in backing fighters up, anki meta ma tagħmilx inżul puntelli flush. Against the smaller Josesito Lopez, huwa titneħħa lilu off saqajh u mibgħuta minnu lill-kanvas bil puntelli spiċċa kontra sider avversarju tiegħu.

* Tikkastiga Korp Attakk - Alvarez jippreferi li jilbsu avversarji tiegħu fid-moda Messikani tradizzjonali li tikkastiga l-korp. While he is economical with his punches, jikkonsenja lieva massimu fuq kull punch, speċjalment it-tgħaffiġ xellug ganċ għall-fwied.

NUQQASIJIET

Imsajjar:

* Effetti ta 'gwerer - Cotto ġie jikkompetu kontra ta' klassi dinjija oppożizzjoni għal aktar minn għaxar snin. He suffered two brutal losses to Antonio Margarito and Manny Pacquiao and suffered punishment in his wins over Ricardo Torres, Zab Judah, u Shane Mosley. While he has had a resurgence working with Freddie Roach, l-effetti kumulattivi ta 'gwerer preċedenti tiegħu jista' jkun ta 'detriment.

* Faċli biex Hit - Cotto għamlet titjib ma d-difiża tiegħu iżda xorta għandha l-mentalità li l-aħjar difiża tiegħu hija offiża tajba. His wide open offense and relentless body attack often leaves him open to be hit with counterpunches, primarjament ganċijiet u uppercuts.

* Chin - Flimkien ma 'reat li tħalli lilu suxxettibbli kontra puntelli, Chin dgħajfa Cotto jista 'jkun riċetta għal diżastru. Cotto was wobbled or dropped in several of his earlier fights and then battered, bloodied u TKO'd fil tissielet tiegħu kontra Margarito (1st ġlieda) u Pacquiao. Even the light-punching Floyd Mayweather staggered him late in their fight.

Alvarez:

* Wieħed dimensjonali - Alvarez ma jaddattaw tajjeb f'nofs l-ġlieda. He comes in with a single game-plan and has not shown the ability to adjust even when his tactics are not working. He struggled in his wins over Austin Trout and Erislandy Lara and was easily out-boxed against Mayweather.

* Għeja - Alvarez xogħlijiet iebsin fil-gym u huwa dejjem fil-forma kbira iżda ħafna drabi isibha diffiċli biex tmur tilt sħiħa għal rawnd kollu, speċjalment fir tissielet tiegħu jmorru fil-rawnds tan-nofs jew aktar tard. In his match with Austin Trout, Alvarez wera għeja serju fi żminijiet u anki sab ruħu appoġġ sa.

* Faċli biex Hit -Alvarez għadu approvazzjoni tat-reat ewwel ta ġlied li jħobb tapplika pressjoni għall-avversarji. He will leave himself open to counter punches, naħa speċjalment id-dritt u kontro xellug ganċijiet.

Tbassir PENECALE

Cotto se tiftaħ jutilizzaw il-ħiliet tiegħu boxing sottovalutata u quickness, jiċċaqalqu lateralment, u jabbing fi sforz biex iżommu Alvarez milli jistabbilixxu saqajh. Alvarez will advance trying to establish his own jab and work the body. Whenever Alvarez gets too close, Cotto se pern bogħod u pass fuq angolu ma 'jabs ftit iebes. The first two rounds will be strategical but tense. The eruption can happen at any time.

L-azzjoni se tibda biex jintensifikaw fil- 3rd round kif Alvarez kontinwament gets Cotto eqreb u l-forzi biex tibda stand-art tiegħu. Like a couple of mountain rams butting heads and locking horns, l-puntelli enerġija se tibda jtir. Cotto will throw flashier combinations, ikkaratterizzata drittijiet overhand għall-ras, ganċijiet xellug għat-test, u jabs iebes għall-wiċċ u t-torso. Alvarez will dig his toes in and throw thumping single shots, uppercuts u ganċijiet, kemm għall-kap u korp, li jwasslu għal brix taħt għajnejn u demm xellug Cotto tal nixxiegħa mill-ħalq tiegħu.

Matul l-rawnds tan-nofs, Boxing u abilità superjuri Cotto se jkollhom lilu ftit quddiem fuq il scorecards iżda d-daqs u s-saħħa vantaġġ Alvarez se jkun, bil-mod u żgur, liebes Cotto isfel. Cotto’s three-and-four-punch combinations will gradually reduce to two-punch combinations and single hooks to the body. The slower pace will favor Alvarez and he will be able to control the tempo and dig in with hard punches to the body and right hands to the face.

Jmorru fil- 7th round, bl-bout virtwalment u sensing ma jistax iweġġgħu l Alvarez akbar, Cotto se jerġa jiffoka tiegħu lura lejn boxing fuq barra. The change in tactic will momentarily bewilder Alvarez, li kien qed isir kummerċ komda fil-trinek. The brief momentum shift will allow Cotto to regain a slight lead on the scorecards.

WAQT LI JIRREALIZZAW li huwa wara u jiffaċċjaw opponent li hija bil-mod fading, Alvarez se tapplika pressjoni nfafet fil- 9th round, stalking Cotto, furzar lilu li jiċċaqalqu jew punch biex jgħixu, u jġegħluh li jintefqu l-enerġija prezzjuż li tagħmel hekk. Whenever they get close, Alvarez se jużaw ispallejn tiegħu biex Cotto muskoli u clip lilu ma ganċijiet qosra u uppercuts, mumentarjament xokkanti lilu fil- 10th round.

Bil wiċċu morphing fis-maskra grotesque ta 'demm u nefħa, a Cotto apparentement jintefqu se jmorru għall kissru fil- 11th, jattakkaw iddisprat u winging xi wħud ganċijiet aħjar tiegħu lill-korp u l-kap. Alvarez will be happy to trade hooks with him and the action will be intense. Late in the round, Alvarez se jillandja a uppercut flush kif Cotto hija miftuħa wiesgħa u l-ġlied Rika Puerto se tinżel għal irkopptejn tiegħu, għajn tax-xellug tiegħu kważi magħluqa u ħalq tiegħu jnixxu demm. His heart will pull him to his feet and Alvarez will come in for the kill, appoġġ Cotto għall-ħbula fejn l-iskambju ta 'puntelli jitwaqqaf biss mill-qanpiena.

Wara li jmissu ingwanti biex jibdew il-fażi finali, Alvarez se attakk Cotto mill-bidu. A pair of right hands to the side of the head will wobble Cotto, furzar lilu biex iqassam l-ħbula u jaqa 'għal irkopptejn tiegħu. Referee Robert Byrd will administer the count with Cotto rising at the count of 8, vehemently li jsostni li huwa OK biex tkompli. As soon as Byrd waves the fighters back together, Alvarez se rebbiegħa madwar l-ring, inżul ta 'lemin u xellug uppercut. As Cotto falls back against the neutral corner, Byrd se tintervjeni bejniethom u twaqqaf il-ġlieda, sinjalar Alvarez bħala r-rebbieħ.

Ir-rebbieħ minn TKO fil 59 sekonda ta 'l- 12h round se jkun Saul "Canelo" Alvarez!!!!
