Comments Thread For: Cotto-Geale To Have Catch-Weight of 157, Says Source

[AnimalisticMeth]

Reports are now coming out that a fight between WBC middleweight titlist Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs), and Australia's Daniel Geale (31-3, 16KOs), has been finalized for June 6th at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, New York. It will be the Puerto Rican's first defense of that title he won last year by thrashing Sergio Martinez in ten rounds at the Madison Square Garden.

According to a source with knowledge of the situation, a catch-weight of 157-pounds has been instituted for this match-up. Cotto, has spent much of his career around the welterweight and junior middleweight classes. Last July, Geale was blown out by Gennady Golovkin in three rounds. He came back a few months later to win a decision over countryman Jarrod Fletcher.

You know damn well this is bull****, op. Defend it all you want but I know that you know this cw of 157 is uncalled for. I hope he offers ggg the same offer, cw and all, and gets the fight made for his next fight.

Cotto stans whined about Pacquiao "draining" their idol and now look.

The irony.

Cotto is a joke. I can no longer respect him like I did.

something is wrong when you need a catchweight vs Daniel effing Geale

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

This is lower than the Martinez fight. I guess since Geale has 2 healthy knees, he needs to handicap him somewhere else so slap him with an even lower cw.

Queue the fanboys who will say Sergio defended his title against Williams at 158, completely disregarding that it was the challenger who wanted the catchweight, not the champion, who made this outrageous stipulation. Cottos a joke.
