He neherā e rongonui puta noa i te aamu. The Hatfields and The McCoys, Te Capulets me te Montagues me te Yankees New York me te Boston Red Sox he neherā kawa katoa. It can be argued that the most brutal is the long-standing boxing rivalry between Puerto Rican fighters against their Mexican counterparts. The next chapter matches the experience and heavy hands of Puerto Rican icon Miguel Cotto against the youth and power of Mexican dynamo Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. When they meet on Saturday night, Ka whawhai e rua e mau ana i te whakapehapeha o to ratou whenua ki roto ki te whakakai me i te mantra o toa Spartan, ka puta ratou i te whawhai ki te whakangungu rakau ranei i runga i te reira.

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, i muri i hoariri ki tona kua tawhitotia iho. Will often leave himself open to counters when trying to unleash his offense.

 

Alvarez:

He pukuriri, toa tinana ki tâu'a pūkenga mekemeke me te wawetanga, Pinepine Alvarez mau hoariri ki raro, ki te pēhanga ōrite me nifó taimaha-tukua. 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.

* Kaha - Alvarez ko te pae tino-höu me nohoia-hanga toa ki te manamana kaha. He is effective in backing fighters up, ara, no te kore e ū nifó Nini. Against the smaller Josesito Lopez, ara ia ia i ona waewae, ka tonoa ia ki te koaka ki nifó e ū ki te uma o tana.
