Miguel Cotto is Battering Sparring Partners in Camp

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

When I think of sparring, I think of training... Not seriously trying to rip the other guys head off, thats used for the work on the heavy bag

You mean the heavy bag that doesn't move or throw back?? You got it BACKWARDS.
The heavy bag is for training. Sparring is for developing boxing skill, approach , and hunger.

Two weeks before a fight, you should be trying to send guys out on a stretcher. Especially when you are fighting margarito.

Blood On A Boxer?? Omigod!!!!

Hahahahaha!

This is just a product of the intensity that Cotto is bringing into his training. He just doesn't want to win, he wants to look impressive and give Margarito a solid beating.

I hope you are right and Cotto comes in as a boxer/puncher. If he comes in as a brawler he can still win it, but he is giving a Margarito a chance to pull it off, and he will certainly shorten his career by risking taking an unnecessary beating, even in victory.

true, there seems to be this myth coming from some corners about their boxers ripping sparring partners apart...hehe. I don't think u will ever hear a sparring partner saying that he battered the boxer right before a fight

The only time you hear that **** is when someone is kicked out of camp and ends up years later, a viable opponent (see margarito/williams)

reports like this really just aim to draw interest and nothing else, i used to put stock in them but not anymore, it just gets my hopes up.

If you read the article one of the sparring partners mentions Cotto's improved boxing and that's what he's working on. He knows he can outbox Margarito and punish him at the same time.

I'm more impressed with the guys Antonio spars with than Cotto. At least one thing can be said about Margarito that can't be denied...he has sparred with the bigger names and has a better sparring resume than Cotto...

Bra, you have been exposed as an ugly mofo. Everyone in this forum thinks so. I think you should kill yourself and save your kids the heartache of being teased about an ugly father.

Says nothing..
Floyd was battering Super Middleweights in preparation for Oscar.

One sparring partner described Floyd's power as "sickening".

He left alot of guys bloodied up.
