Pa Tony Penecale

Gen rivalite ki lejand nan tout listwa. The Hatfields and The McCoys, Capulets yo ak Montague yo ak New York Yankees yo ak Boston Wouj Sox yo se tout rivalite anmè kou fièl. 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, tou de avyon de gè yo pral pote fyète a nan peyi yo nan bag la ak nan maître a nan vanyan sòlda Spartan, yo pral sòti nan batay ak yon plak pwotèj oswa sou li. Who will be carrying his shield at the end of their encounter and who will be carried out on his?

STYLE

Kwit:

Yon arseleur fizik ki bwat soti nan pozisyon an Otodòks, Cotto te devlope ladrès pi bon boksè men yo toujou pwefere yo vini dwat devan, ak mete opozan desann ak yon atak visye kò. 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, apre opozan li te chire desann. Will often leave himself open to counters when trying to unleash his offense.

Alvarez:

Yon agresif, avyon de gè fizik ak ladrès boksè mekonu ak vivasité, Alvarez souvan mete-l opozan sou tab ansanm ak presyon ki konsistan ak pwenson lou-men. 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 gen desan, men se pa gwo, konpetans defans glise ak bloke pwenson.

FÒS

Kwit:

* Atak kò - Cotto se byen petèt pèrswa nan kò pi byen nan espò a jodi a. He wings thunderous hooks on the inside that make contact with whatever is available: zo kòt, zepòl, tors, pwatrin, ak bra, ak rezilta pini.

* Fòs - Cotto se yon avyon de gè ki gen fòs ak fizik. Even as he has grown from junior welterweight up to middleweight, li rete yon fòs fizik, ki kapab mete desann pi gwo lènmi.

* Kè - Cotto pote yon anpil nan fyète lè li etap nan bag la. He has been in a number of wars where he’s been cut, frape desann, oswa nan lòt sitiyasyon negatif, ak Cotto te montre kè yon chanpyon nan.

Alvarez:

* Pwensonaj pouvwa - Alvarez pote loraj nan tou de pwen. He is knockout power in either hand, men zam pi devaste l 'abite nan zen gòch li. 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.

* Fòs - Alvarez se yon fizikman-lèt epi epès-bati avyon de gè ak mystérieu fòs. He is effective in backing fighters up, menm lè yo pa jwenn on pwenson kole. Against the smaller Josesito Lopez, li leve l 'nan pye l', li voye l 'al twal la ak pwenson ki te ateri kont pwatrin opozan li nan.

* Pini Kò atak - Alvarez pwefere yo mete opozan l 'yo desann nan tradisyonèl mòd nan Meksiken nan pini kò a. While he is economical with his punches, li delivre maksimòm exploiter sou chak kout pyen, espesyalman kraze bò gòch la zen nan fwa a.

FEBLÈS

Kwit:

* Efè Lagè - Cotto te konkirans kont opozisyon mond-klas pou plis pase yon dekad. He suffered two brutal losses to Antonio Margarito and Manny Pacquiao and suffered punishment in his wins over Ricardo Torres, Zab Jida, ak Shane Mosley. While he has had a resurgence working with Freddie Roach, efè yo kimilatif laj moun ki lagè anvan l 'kapab yon detriman.

* Fasil yo Frape - Cotto te fè amelyorasyon ak li defann tèt li men yo toujou gen attitude a ki pi byen li defann tèt li se yon bon ofans. His wide open offense and relentless body attack often leaves him open to be hit with counterpunches, prensipalman kwòk ak uppercuts.

* Chin - Konbine avèk yon ofans ki kite l 'tandans fè vann san preskripsyon pwenson, Enstab manton Cotto la kapab yon resèt pou dezas. Cotto was wobbled or dropped in several of his earlier fights and then battered, sanglan ak TKO'd nan batay l 'kont Margarito (1st batay) ak Pacquiao. Even the light-punching Floyd Mayweather staggered him late in their fight.

Alvarez:

* Youn Dimansyon - Alvarez pa adapte byen nan mitan-batay. 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.

* Fatig - Alvarez travay di nan jimnastik la ak se toujou nan fòm gwo, men yo souvan jwenn li difisil yo ale plen enklinezon pou yon wonn tout antye, espesyalman kòm batay l 'ale nan jij yo mitan oswa pita. In his match with Austin Trout, Alvarez te montre grav fatig nan fwa e menm te jwenn tèt li fè bak.

* Fasil yo Frape -Alvarez se toujou yon kalite ofans-an premye nan avyon de gè ki renmen pou aplike pou presyon yo opozan l 'yo. He will leave himself open to counter punches, men espesyalman dwa ak vann san preskripsyon kite Kwòk.

* Carlos Baldomir (9/18/10) - Alvarez te nan 20 ane fin vye granmoun fè fas a yon Prodigy dirab ansyen chanpyon mond nan Baldomir. Alvarez was successful boxing early and using his advantages in speed and skill to sweep the first five rounds. But it was his display in the 6th that was memorable.

PENECALE Prediksyon

Cotto yo ap louvri itilize ladrès mekonu boksè l ', li vivasité, k ap deplase Latexo, ak pikur nan yon efò kenbe Alvarez soti nan mete pye l '. Alvarez will advance trying to establish his own jab and work the body. Whenever Alvarez gets too close, Cotto pral Thorne lwen ak etap sou ang ak yon kèk jabs difisil. The first two rounds will be strategical but tense. The eruption can happen at any time.

Aksyon an ap kòmanse entansifye nan la 3rd wonn kòm Alvarez toujou vin pi pre ak fòs Cotto yo kòmanse a kanpe tè l '. Like a couple of mountain rams butting heads and locking horns, pwenson yo pouvwa ap kòmanse vole. Cotto will throw flashier combinations, prezante dwa anlè nan tèt la, Kwòk gòch nan kò a, ak jabs difisil yo figi a ak tors. Alvarez will dig his toes in and throw thumping single shots, uppercuts ak Kwòk, tou de nan tèt la ansanm ak tout kò, ki rezilta nan yon fwotman anba je gòch Cotto la ak san enfiltrasyon soti nan bouch li.

Pandan tout jij yo mitan, Boksè siperyè Cotto a ak skillset ap gen l 'yon ti kras pi devan sou performance yo, men gwosè ak fòs avantaj Alvarez a ap, dousman e ak siman, mete Cotto desann. 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.

Ale nan la 7th wonn, ak bout la nòmalman menm ak kèk li pa ka fè mal Alvarez nan pi gwo, Cotto pral retounen konsantre l 'tounen nan boksè sou deyò a. The change in tactic will momentarily bewilder Alvarez, ki moun ki te vin konfòtab komès nan tranche yo. The brief momentum shift will allow Cotto to regain a slight lead on the scorecards.

Reyalizan ke se li ki dèyè ak fè fas a yon advèsè ki moun ki tou dousman manyak, Alvarez pral aplike presyon nan nan zanpoud 9th wonn, asèlman Cotto, fòse l 'pou avanse pou pi oswa kout pyen yo siviv, ak sa ki lakòz l 'nan depanse enèji koute chè nan fè sa. Whenever they get close, Alvarez pral sèvi ak zepòl li nan Cotto nan misk ak clip l 'avèk kwòk ak uppercuts kout, ti tan stupéfiants l 'nan la 10th wonn.

Avèk figi l 'morfaj nan yon mask grotèsk nan san ak anflamasyon, yon Cotto w pèdi te pase pral ale pou kraze nan la 11th, atake dezespereman ak winging kèk nan pi bon kwòk li nan kò a ak tèt. Alvarez will be happy to trade hooks with him and the action will be intense. Late in the round, Alvarez ap rete yon upèrkut kole kòm Cotto se gran louvri, epi avyon de gè nan Pòtoriken ap bese a jenou l ', je gòch li prèske fèmen ak bouch li koule san. His heart will pull him to his feet and Alvarez will come in for the kill, fè bak Cotto kòd yo ki kote pou yo fè echanj pwenson sèlman te kanpe totalman pa klòch la.

Apre manyen gan yo kòmanse wonn final la, Alvarez pral atake soti nan aparisyon Cotto. A pair of right hands to the side of the head will wobble Cotto, fòse l 'nan repati kòd yo ak tonbe sou jenou l'. Referee Robert Byrd will administer the count with Cotto rising at the count of 8, depoze anpil gwo plede ke li se OK yo kontinye. As soon as Byrd waves the fighters back together, Alvarez pral pouse nan tout bag an, debakman yon men dwat ak bò gòch upèrkut. As Cotto falls back against the neutral corner, Byrd pral etap nan ant yo epi yo sispann batay la, siyal Alvarez kòm gayan an.

Gayan an pa TKO nan 59 segonn nan nan 12h wonn yo pral Sayil "CANELO" Alvarez!!!!
