Cotto's poker face is brilliant. Notice that every time he gets hit really hard, he plants his feet, ducks a bit, and moves his upper body smoothly like he's okay, even though he isn't. That's some veteran shit right there. He knows how to look OK even when he's hurt.
That's some top notch pro shit right there. Never show your cards.
Exactly!!! Great way of masking It.
He was never seriously hurt in this fight tho
@@Chupacabra_4 12:50
they should start posting these fights with the commentary muted: so all you can hear is the crowd and the action between the fighters.
Ive always like Cotto. Tough ass dude with a lot of heart.
and his wife is fine too
Mario Marcel, CPA
Of course...cause you not mexican.
Casey Abraham Who is hating on any lightskin fighter?
Casey Abraham Who said Cotto is better?
Harmony They are though! im a cpa/cma!!
My respect to Cotto, he isn't only a great fighter but a great human being.
Greetings from Mexico
The funny thing, is that cotto did agree... he didn't complain, if you watch carefully, you'll see at the end of the fight how Cotto accepts without anyproblem his deffeat... Because he is a real man, and knows to accept.
Bullshit he didnt stay for the post fight interview and when he got back to puerto rico he said he got robbed he is a fucking sore loser not man enough to accept defeat.
P.s. He beat his wife and cheated on her when another Mexican first took away his undefeated record. Not a man for shit.
grasias tambien ati oscar por estar atras of little canelo por eso todo mi mexico te quiere we love you and i want you to feel the love of my all country mexico
@@Lemon-rk9hq dumbass
Super Boricua Warrior I don’t even like canelo like that but I feel he might have a better career he’s only 29 🤷🏽♂️
Cotto has a lot of heart. He never defeated himself like fighters do when they are behind. He just kept coming and fighting more intensely.
Cotto earned all his fights! Never had a fight given to him or stolen from somebody ...Now Thats a True Champion My respects to Cotto ...
Kinda true but as a fan I believe the clottey fight was almost clotteys. That was one of his best fights ever. To be honest I didn't like his sequel with margarito. Margarito was lucky to get a shot with his journey man record at the time. But yeah the clottey fight was epic, a movie of its own. He had one eye fucked up and clotteys leg was fucked up and they made it all the way to the bell.
Hell yeah bro coto a great champ y no habla tanta caca es lo mejor
@@TONY-dq1pk floyd clearly beat cotto.
He is face of boxing he cant ko cotto at 154 or 160. Cotto was kod by manny. Canelo goes to 175 and is a monstor . He is a cheater cotto was ok.
@@ronwilliams8874 cotto has never been knocked out nevertheless by manny, hes been tko before wich is what hapoened in the paquiao fight learn the difference
This fight was better than I remembered it to be. Very underrated fight.
This fight was better than I remembered. Given the size and age disadvantages, Cotto's performance was impressive even in defeat. A beautiful passing of the torch.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Nelson Raul Instablaster =)
Absolutely, it's almost as if they both went in there and said we shall put up a great performance and may the better man win. This was a bout between two real respectable athletes. they both left with their dignity intact.
@james Deer A passing of the torch between latino superstars. But why downplay his achievements? Do his titles in four weight classes count for nothing?
@james Deer Cotto brought in numbers vs Judah Mosley Marg Martinez Pac-Man Floyd and Canelo
Canelo won. But this fight was much closer than the points made it seem like.
I've got to give Cotto credit for his performance, still impressive at his age.
Funny enough, I think this version of Cotto was the closest to beat Canelo, even with this age. Cotto in 2015 had a great footwork and stamina, better stamina than even in his prime when he was gassing out on the later rounds. Roach really prepared Cotto well.
Canelo won by cheaing cotto was ok but at 174 he is a cheater. Look at him
@@ronwilliams8874 you sound dumb 🤦🏽♂️
Canelo vs Cotto: 119-109
Canelo vs Trout: 118-109
Canelo vs Lara: 117-111
Canelo vs GGG 1: 118-110
Canelo vs Floyd: 114-114
Canelo is protected af. Corrupt as boxing at its ugly worst. Canelo should be 0-2 against GGG and while I think Lara was a draw I don't argue with anyone who thinks Lara won.
@@gsimon123 I disagree
Canelo has one of the best body movements for welter-middleweight ever!
Cottos footwork and heart is amazing, cotto lost but he is a warrior
Richard Mauer exactly canelo is a beast with his head movement
Canelos head movement is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Like when he turns his head to decrease the strength of a punch that is about to land.
Lemon26 exactly! It’s Canelos head movement and shoulder rolls that makes him so hard to hit. Lomachenko is extremely difficult to hit because of his footwork. Mayweather with his defensive style, jab then straight right then back to quick defense makes him very hard to hit and with Canelo its his shoulder roll and how he turns his head going away from punches to decrease the power behind them.
@@dbodooley you sound like you're infatuated with Canelo , and his head 🤣... you must give it to him lol
@@dbodooley ease up bro lol. Canelo is good but his movements are not the best ever.
let's just take a moment to appreciate the level of technical greatness being displayed by both warriors...
People call Canelo a weight bully or make this about how heavier he is. In all honestly though he didn't bully Cotto here. He out boxed him cleanly.
greysymphonyearth yeah because cotto.felt.the weight power
hahaha weight power
This is the most stupid comment I have seen this week. No shit man, when he is heavier with reach advantage. Only an idiot without any boxing knowledge would try to fight on the inside with a smaller opponent.
Did I mention anything about fighting on the inside? Only an idiot without any boxing knowledge would assume that a weight bully only fights inside.
"Only an idiot without any boxing knowledge would assume that a weight bully only fights inside."
Are you kidding me? Just stop. You are making yourself look dumb. You just said what I did only in different words. "Only an idiot without any boxing knowledge would try to fight on the inside with a smaller opponent." So in other words, for the less receptive. Ofcourse he outboxed him. Being on the inside with weight advantage and reach advantage is bullshit. Just like your second comment.
I've been watching classic sports like this excellent piece long before COVID made it necessary.
good for you
😂 😂
I could watch this fight over and over. The style of both these fighters is one of a kind. The poise, timing, combinations, uppercuts and defense is beautiful!!! Canelo and Cotto have the same style of boxing.
Jessica I could watch and listen to you over and over again. You're loooooovely. Damn, a girl that likes boxing, dream woman.
Octavian Caesar
Where are you? I have more to say my Greek man. hahahaha!! Jessica...
Jessica umm no
Lmao 😂
If I were to box,I will choose canelo boxing styles,he kills me with his head movements, his body shots is a hell what a boxer much respect to both men
Jessica, I second that. I'm late to the party, but a woman that understands boxing is a a treat!
15:04 - beautiful head movement by Canelo
That shit is unreal.
this was a terrific fight, both displayed technical ability and great action.
Kellerman "will you face GGG right now?"
Canelo "Lets put the gloves back on and we fight right now"
Kellerman "there you have it, Canelo will fight anyone"
Canelo "oh... I thought you said Amir Khan..."
Haha nice and so true
LMFAO😂😂😂
if no one is fighting GGG then to me that shows he is this era's prime tyson I know it's a different weight class but same principle? I really want a canelo/cotto vs GGG just to see if he is a legit reason for people avoiding him! I know ward is ready or at least he says he is but in all fairness ward is a technician he is like mayweather just higher weight class (I believe) very technical and a sturdy boxer...not a fighter! a fighter will go into a ring and not worry about defending that much (haggler/hearns) but either way - someone A class needs to step up to GGG or he needs to step his game up to prove he is this legitimate bad ass
jose diaz so, why are people "ducking" him?
Golovkins team agreed to another interim fight so they're actually both to blame. We BOTH know ggg is only in it for the $. Which is why he's mute now waiting on canelos next opponent.
After watching this fight I seen the growth in Canelo. Seems like he's coming into prime form. He's moving a little better and has a sense of boxing IQ now.
2021 wow
I think canelo speed is underrated. It's never talked about much. He s pretty fast
Because he is slow as snails
Id say sometimes he looks fast when throwing combinations but his single punches seem a bit slow
He's definitely quicker than I gave him credit for head movement and hand speed
@@TheSweetalchemist he's slow when he's the one who's engaging the action, he's actually a fast counter puncher though. Canelo now also improved his speed, his jab is now fast and stiff 'almost' like GGG's jab.
I like that Boxing has expanded, but nobody and I mean nobody did it as professional and as passionate as HBO the quality and the commentating of the match, you could close your eyes and still see the fight. Kellerman, Jones, Jim made you feel as if you were right there. HBO Boxing was and will always be the best.
canelos head movement, upper body movement was amazing he would make cotto miss with slight head movement and counter right back those are called skills my friend
Yeah but people love to harp on about his foot-speed yes he hasn't got the best footwork but it's not horrible and he has great hand-speed and ability to make opponents miss and then counter look at the trout fight
Yeah his footspeed is slightly slow but his footwork/balance is still on point. His uppe body movement is great. Imagine if he was just a little quicker on his feet he would amazingly hard to beat
eunice1220er then why did his corner constantly give him instructions about cotto's straight right? LOL!!!
But when Floyd does that then he's running...SMH
Abir greendayHBK thank you!
Great performance by Canelo
canelo was sharp in this fight
GGG He well back up canelo! more powerful hitter than Cotto.
but GGG is slower and less technical than Cotto
Allistar123 but he can box as well he has good style and he has traps and he has the power and reach than canelo. so canelo can box fast but he well gassed out like he did with smith.
Allistar123 ggg is pretty technical when he can watch the lemiux fight and ggg is slower but he has better timing
Juat watched this for first time. Had announcers announced it for Cotto I would have been fine with that.
I really miss HBO boxing, they had the best team for boxing events.
No they did not 😂
@@lobsterblacc9478 What's My pount of view, period
It’s amazing how different judges’ score cards can look so different. It’s like they’re not watching the same fight.
28:09 canelo swag
Hay muchos que no baloran canelo tiene d todo contra golpeador tegnico buena pegada Ventura defensa cada cual su estill pero para mi es el mejor nunca lo an tumbado
Chavez mi respeto pero cheke el recor disputes d pelea con tailor pelo con uno 8 perdidas I mucjas mas
@Im just a Troll whos intentions are good sea joven o viejo el rival siempre lo van a criticar
@@robertogarcia3934 jajajajaj estás Pendejo Chávez no perdió tantas perdió con Whitaker y Óscar en total serían 6
Canelo is a Special Fighter!!!
Puro puerto rico . Y mexico. Soy mexicano
IM A MEXICAN BUT STILL MY RESPECTS FOR MR.COTTO HE IS A GREAT CHAMPION AND GENTLEMAN IN THIS SPORT.
Still come back years later and watch this.
Canelo absorbed every bit of experience from this fight. Sometimes i feel like he did that on purpose. You gain so much more experience going 12 rounds with a legend rather then looking for the ko in round 1 or 3. You reveal all their cards and yours as well
0:57 imagine if that would of landed... RIP
Puro South OSRS
that was an arm punch wouldnt even have hurt him.
THIS FIGHT WAS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Watching this fight years later I didn’t realize how many good moments Cotto had
lot closer than what we saw back then.
The way that cotton stopped his punch at 44:23 when the bell rang....total respect.
Cotto will always be a classy fighter!!!!
Eddy is one of the best trainers ! He disciplines canelo and has gotten him to the level he is at now !
Canelo's punches can be heard from the heavens. Jaysus!
Even when canelo hit cottos guard it moved him around, size and power was the difference but cotto did a hell of job using his experience and skill to stay in there with the bigger man
Floyd beat that weight bully like a baby
@@myronsmith2114 canelo was younger against mayweather..this canelo is a different thing
@@boxeolocopunch762 the difference is the skill he learned from Floyd. Watch him use Floyds pull counter then duck under the return Classic Floyd. And he is using Floyds shoulder roll he just cant punch off it like Oscar couldn't do either that goes to show how difficult it is to Master
I think he is cheating
@@myronsmith2114 suck much floyd lately. Floyd caught ppl after or before their prime. I agree he learned alot from Mayweather but this canelo would kill floyd if he really comes out of retirement, hell pacman would too. Floyd better stick with Tyson's legends league
Arriba canelo. Y pues cotto un gran campeón ni duda y un caballero puerto rico tiene un gran ídolo
gotta love the channels that actually put in the work to type out their closed captions
Cotto was a great boxer, I don't think he really got the respect he deserved by many and was somewhat overlooked among all the other great fighters. Sad really and I really miss Miguel Cotto and I think many people disrespected him as a boxer/fighter and disrespected his power. He had great footwork and boxed well if he won or lost and he was a decent fighter.
Canelo got mad respect for his trainer Eddie ,I really like when his trainer gets after him when canelo does things that his trainer think canelo should not do in the ring
10/10 for Cotto's style...
0
And until this day, other than Floyd, the Cotto brothers have given Canelo some of his roughest fights. Not many people remember that Cotto's older brother almost KOd Canelo when he was a skinny prospect.
Dude canelo q was like 18. Stop it
Wow.. I'm not arguing Cotto won, but when I watched it live it seemed so one sided because of the so many "ooo"s and "aww"s every time Canelo threw and landed because he is such a fan favorite, but WOW what a great fight!!
I'm a die hard cotto fan.. But I have to admit he really lost this fight 8-4 in favor of canelo
What scores points...landed punches or heavy punches ?
@M B a power punch might score you a knock down or knock out, but other than that it scores the same as a regular punch on the cards. So if nobody was knocked down... then you count them as just landed punches.
M B 😂😂😂 Cownelo fanboys
No you are not. I hate these comments "im a fan of X but Y did win" lol bs. As if that gives you any more credibility.
Even marquez and his trainer baristan say canelo lost
Cotto is a really good fighter. He has fought the best
Amazing fight between two amazing fighters. It was just the obvious difference in power and size for Canelo, even tho I found Cotto to be a little bit more skillful and experienced.
Man I wish HBO boxing would come back, it was something to look forward to even if it was alone and as someone boxing it was one of the dreams to one day fight on HBO.
The problem with Cotto was he spent too much time on his toes circling Canelo, he can't sit on his punches if he is punching while on his toes, therefore he wasn't hurting Canelo and Canelo was not respecting his power. He needed to step inside and get some combinations to the body and then move. So Canelo would think twice before stepping forward.
Respect to both fighters... A very competitive fight
11:44 Watch how Canelo feints ever so slightly, which makes Cotto throw a punch. Then slip-n-rip. Canelo showing that boxing comes down to milliseconds and milometers.
came to rewatch and i was looking for that, thanks
@@AustinV332 right before that cotton was throwing lots of jabs. So canelo knew cotton was most likely gonna throw a jab
I remember this fight was the first time when I did PPV and I was alone in my house so after the end I was jumping everywhere !!!!!!!
Had it even the night of the fight. Still think it was 6-6. Both guys worked though and it was a brilliant display of boxing.
Cotto is a Legend!
Not much clinching in this fight, I like that.
When cottos trainer said keep backing this guy up i laughed so hard fym backed up😂cotto gettin hit everywhere
What did Canelo weigh on fight night here? he looks 15lbs bigger than Cotto
+An Iron fisted Warrior
Canelo usually goes from 155 to 175.
Cotto based on his last three fights at 160, he only goes up 4-5lbs
Since this fight was at 155, Cotto most likely weighed 159-160
Ricardo Alvarez Yeah it looks that way.
An Iron fisted Warrior
every time there is no official weight from HBO on fight night, you know there is some bullshit going on.
+An Iron fisted Warrior I dont understand how can canelo put up 20 punds in 24 hours
***** Quillin did. Chavez JR did...
Respect to Cotto
All these comments about canelo but y'all dumb asf for not crediting Miguel, as an old fighter he boxed Saul with hard earned experience, technique, all while hovering on his impeccable foot work
Definately was still a great fight at this point in his career.
Yea bro no doubt one for the books good for the youngins to look back and take notes
I think an argument could be made for Canelo winning the fight. Hu out boxed Canelo and blocked a lot of his punches, and Canelo was flat out missing a lot of shots. I don't know how they had Canelo landing 40% of his punches,...…..??
Canelo reminds me of Hajime No Ippo. So much power and heart.
angel tovar Yeah but I can't think of a single boxer in Hajime no ippo that's like Canelo, not even Ricardo. I think the closest person I can think of is Vorg, MAYBE
I miss HBO 😢
i really wish Canelo fought Cotto in his prime. Its really saddening to watch old fighters fight younger ones and people see them as equals.
Canelo is just now getting in his prime
It was impressive by Cotto. He just couldn't hurt him. He took almost every punch from him.
Canelo was 25 years old here. How is canelo going to fight cotto in his prime
Let’s leave the emotion out... cotto won straight up
12 rounds, clean face... incredible how this mexican boxes.
canelo's rehydration is crazy. this is bullshit.
probably i.v's the water back into his system
I don't know how he can rehydrate like that, a day after the weight in. He must be on some bullshit
i did amateur, I fought at welter weight but when I was inactive I was weighin 165 pounds ... so all that weight is a little fat .. but 80 %was mostly water to make weight... it feels horrible when doing weight.. you feel dry... then you recover 4 liters of water in the next hours... after the weigh in...
Boxing Fan 1 si ese fuera el caso canelo ya lo uviera enfrentado y no estaria asiendo lo que mayweather iso con paqcuiao. Que fue esperar a que pacquiao bajara nivel para pelear con el. Yo le voy a canelo pero me temo que ggg podria ganar asta de KO. La cruda realidad.
Lil Car es que la ríalidad amigo es que ustedes se cegan piensan que la pelea no se ase por culpa del canelo y no es así amigo para que una pelea se lleve a cabo se necesitan de dos boxeadores y dos promotores y el problema no está en que canelo no quiera pelear a qui el que en ríalidad no quiere pelear es tripo ggg ya le pusieron una sefra de 12 millones de dólares algo que jamás tripo ggg ganará jamás con algún otro boxeador así que abran los ojos amigo no todo está en las manos del canrlo y creme que cuando esa pelea se lleve a cavó el cazajo ggg se mirara muy mal con un peleador como el canelo, tripo ggg no es lo que todo mundo abla creme amigo el no es campeón más que en 160 lbrs los campeones verdaderos son campeones en diferentes diviciones mira tripo ggg no quiso subir a las 168 lbrs para pelear con ward cuando ward peleaba en las 168 lbrs pero si aseptaba pelear con chavez jr en el mismo peso de 168 save do que chavez jr no podría ganarle, y otra también paso que tripo ggg no quiso bajar a las 154 lbrs para pelear con el canelo Alvarez y con islandy lara, pero tripo ggg sólo bajaría a las 154 lbrs para enfrentar a mayweather eso noes justo tripo ggg tiene miedo arriesgar y eso no es ser un campeón. y en cambio horita canelo esta dispuesto pelear con tripo ggg en las 160 lbrs y le está pagando una sufra que jamás tripo ggg conseguirá con ningún otro boxeador y tripo ggg no asepta no quiere firmar para que se lleve acavo la pelea
canelo gone smoke khan. i already feel bad
lol yu hit da nail on da head dats a lil strong dude i think mayweather dodge 1
+KING JAY Sure, Khan is a jr welter. Canelo should have been fighting GGG.
i agree but that dont change the fact that canelo gone smoke his ass
i agree but that dont change the fact that canelo gone smoke his ass
+KING JAY if you watched the fight you would agree that Khan was taking him to school. Nevertheless, Khan has been knocked out by smaller less powerful opponents so it was a matter of time before Canelo hit him flush with a power shot. Not taking anything away from Canelo's talents.
amazing fight, straight up classy boxing
That post-fight interview was absolutely excellent.
2 All time Great Fighters!!!! Glad to have this fight happen.
This was a boxing fight 😊
I am a big Cotto and Alvarez fan. I have watched all of their fights. I had this a draw or at the most a one point advantage for Canelo. Those scores the judges gave were a joke. Cotto did a fantastic job that fight.
Agree if anything Canelo edged him that wide margin was ridiculous to hear it wasnt unanimous either way commentating team were trash too
It’s terrible for cottos legacy what they did to him. 100 years from now people will think this was a blowout if they didn’t take time to actually watch it..it’s sad
I had 115 - 113
COTTO chin up Bro you are a warrior , winner or loser you always give us an amazing fights to watch . you are my hero.>>> such an iron heart . BTW i see u won this figh
That round 8😭😭😭😭 Canelo was just a light heavyweight 🤣 lol underrated fight
This fight must be watched 2-3 times without replays, no sound, and without bias of the coments. It might change fans perspective.

Yes he does, amen to that 🙏

Cristiano Fernandez He's scared to fight young lions only fights old washed fighters 😂😂😂
@@unbiasedboxingexpert9910 stfu what about Jacobs dumbass
Unbiased Boxing Expert Lara, Trout, Jacobs, and yes even both Mayweather & GGG were undefeated at the time he fought both.
Cotto was only 34 years old here wtf are you talking about?
Unbiased Boxing Expert canelo is pretty good he can fight but you gotta admit cotto is way past his prime in this lmao
Max "bigger younger guy Vs. smaller older guy" Kellerman LOL
I love both these warriors. What heart from Cotto, great technician. Canelo has no flaws in his game, puts his punches together like nobody else. I could watch him throw combinations all day long.
Fantastic fight. One of the best in the Mexico v. Puerto Rico rivalry without a doubt!
hearing freddie roach talk is a blaring warning about taking head damage. wow that's scary. sounds like me after closing down my local pub on a saturday night.
Freddy roach have Parkinson bad hit
We all know cotto didn't really lose he just didn't pay for the title that's why canelo won
Cotto earns his wins tho, tf you talking about? Id understand if you said mayweather, but cotto?
Cotto's chin is amazing..
Took some very solid shots indeed - 4 years later 😌
HBO production is still the best production wise.
I just love seeing Cotto's goofy expression in the thumbnail. Classic.
48:13
Gestos dignos de aplaudir
Humildad ante todo
Gran pelea del última guerrero boricua y del Azteca
Saludos desde México🇲🇽🇲🇽
this fight was awesome. compared to clinch fest from ward vs kovalev.
I wanna get in the ring with Cotto's wife
I can't tell why Canelo is ducking GGG n prefering to fight bums. I mean, he's very good n i see him posing problems to GGG. I guess he feels he would not be able to outpunch GGG not to talk of matching GGG's stamina, or, that Swarmer>boxer logic i don't know, but that fight must happen sooner rather than later. Fighters shouldn't be allowed to duck as they see fit. We want a tornament where all he top guns fight each other so we can see the best, all this ducking rubbish is not good for thr sport.
The Hottest Guy cotto is not a bum bro come on... respect good fighters
that's messed up why would you punch a girl? *sarcasm
Cochino!!
fuk u
At the time of this fight Cotta was (& still is) my favorite fighter. Now Canelo is my favorite active fighter.
I just watched Canelo vs Callum Smith/ Jacobs and GGG and I have to say it ... Canelo didnt win over Cotto because he was "Too big" like the HBO brodcasting was saying every 5 minutes. Canelo won because he was boxing Cotto like a Boss.
Casual
8:01 hmm🤔
Fighters like Canelo make me wish that boxing would go back to "same day" weigh-ins. Enough of all this "rehydrating by 15 - 25 lbs" crap. Boxers nowadays focus more on draining their weights than actual boxing technique. We have fighters fighting 2 divisions lower than they should. Canelo and all the others don't even realize that continuing to do so will cause long-term damage to their bodies in the future. Boxers should fight around their walk-around weight IMO. Move up to middleweight already, Canelo, instead of creating your own Caneloweight division (155lbs) to bully Welterweights and avoid GGG. *smh*
Freddie roach is on crack 😂. “Canelo is missing a lot of his shots. He’s missing most of his shots”. Even when canelo is landing like 40+ percent of his shots to cottos 19 percent.
It was an even fight. Canelo couldn’t knockout a little guy even coming in as a cruiserweight.
He was no where near cruiser weight bro😭
17:53 ain’t no way bro was up 4-0😭😭😭
Closer than the points indicated...great fight it was very tense all the way through
I felt Alvarez edged it but the scorecards were absolutely disgusting.
canelos hand speed gets underrated. looked sharp as hell in his last couple of fights
Canelo's style is soooo beautiful
He stole a lot of his new defense from Floyd
Freddie coached in the two biggest bouts of 2015. Sadly, his fighter lost in both. His career is a landmark in sports history.
I had it 115-113 for Canelo, i thought Cotto could have done more and i thought the scorecards were pretty wide
