LondonRingRules Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Cotto fighting Daniel Geale at Barclay's June 6th in what should be a decent scrap. Hard to know who to favor in this one. Cotto has definitely improved under Freddie Roach but Geale is a skilled, tough operator. Good for boxing me thinks for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale Agreed limit: 157lbs/71.2kgs shouldn't be allowed, as it's for a 160lb title. But, that is the madness that prevails in this sport of ours. Cotto vs Geale is a decent enough fight, though Cotto has missed out on tougher challenges and paydays. I doubt Miguel will dispose of Daniel, in the same manner that Triple G did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale Cotto seems to be in a dreamworld of his own while fighting lately. And this catchweight will play into Geale's hands. Neutral on this one but I fear a banana skin on the steps for Cotto here............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale, who wins? This just furthers the (correct) perception that Cotto doesn't deserve that belt he's currently holding. What a joke. I hope Geale pummels his but, though I suspect Cotto is too fast for him.

repsac Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale, who wins? These catchweights are maddening. I can understand it in the case of Porter vs Broner, because no title is on the line. But Cotto hasn't fought in a year, then picks the guy GGG blasted out of there. I'm sure he was hoping for Mackilin to beat Heiland, so he could sell us a title defense against Matthew. Cotto wins this, possibly by late stoppage.

jozo Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale, who wins? I'm not sure how good Cotto really is at mw.Martinez didn't have legs in their fight and Geale can be a tricky oponent.But i still would pick Cotto to win.

BoztheMadman Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale, who wins? Cotto should win, if he's still in the same form as the last time he fought. It will probably go the distance. There's a small chance of Cotto winning by stoppage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBoxing Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale, who wins? Catchweight is nonsense if Cotto wishes to call himself a 160-lber, which really he is not. Hopefully Geale isn't trimming off muscle here and can come in peak shape. If he does, I think he absorbs a lot of punishment. I can't see a way Geale wins without doing so. Cotto still has more tricks up his sleeve, but he isn't as young or as Geale nor is he as strong. I think, over the course of twelve rounds, the Aussie can give Cotto nightmares. Furthermore, I have to question how Cotto will respond if a natural Middleweight can pull him into deep waters. Martinez didn't have the knees, the size, or the energy to push Miguel. Geale should. This isn't a gimme for Miguel. Scratch the whole "Golovkin stopped him in three" talk. Cotto isn't Golovkin. He's the lineal champ -- whatever -- but, at 160-lbs, he hadn't half the credentials of a fighter like Golovkin. He hasn't fought one fighter on the top ten. Golovkin has two or three, and about three more in the top fifteen. I like this match-up, and think Cotto will have a rough night regardless of the result, or the weight you hold to his title belt.

uppercutter Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale, who wins? Miguel Cotto wins UD, 8 rounds to 4. Cotto throws with authority... Geale tries to be too slick and I don't think he'll score well against Cotto because of it. Cotto doesn't have to chase him down like Golovkin did, he'll just cover up, claim the center of the ring, control the pace, and be the ring general in this fight. Cotto throws punches within his own personal space, he's tightly controlled. He moves in or waits for Geale to come to him, stays balanced, and works combinations to whatever Geale leaves open, particularly the body. It'll look like Cotto is landing with more authority because Geale is too clumsy/awkward and is easily countered. I just don't think Danny can either overwhelm Miguel or hurt him like he needs to to win the fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale, who wins? I'm a massive Cotto fan, but I honestly think he needs to hang them up now. His win over Martinez flattered him and he's wisely staying away from Canelo. On paper Cotto wins, but I have a sneaky suspicion Geale is gonna win this. He'll turn up game and try to push Cotto back. If he's as past it as I believe he is he may not be able to overcome that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a gimme for Miguel. --- True, it ain't a gimme, but you sold Martinez way short. At 175 early training, he already looked to be in fighting shape for the whole of his middleweight career. He's got a quick, snapping, powerful lefty style and if you review the fight, he got plenty of his shots in. It was his knees that did him in since he was like Floydy, completely dependent on being leg driven, so he couldn't squeeter around the ring coming in and out like he used to, such that ring center played out to Cotto's hand which was considerably strengthen by Freddie Roach's massage of his style. Geale ain't a tricky left, is a light swatter, so it's just a matter if he can figure out how to outbox a more experienced championship fighter in Cotto. Maybe he can, it should prove competitive in the early going, but smart money is on Cotto as Geale doesn't quite match up in talent and intangibles thus far.

selij Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale, who wins? Geale is going to be so far behind on pts by mid fight, and he's never going to hurt Cotto. TKO R8-9 in favour of Cotto as Geale gets rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Re: Cotto fighting Daniel Geale, who wins? cotto should win to next fight ggg --- Doubt Cotto has ever entertained the thought of Golovkin, but interesting weigh-in development with the Geale fight. Geale weighed in at mandated 157 where as Cotto weighed in under the 154 limit at 153.6. What I don't understand about Cotto is that he seems to rehydrate to about 165 since moving from welter, so why is he not weighing in at the contracted weight instead of under? I'd guess they have their training protocol down such that they don't want to tamper what has worked for them in the past. Should be a good scrap though.
