Doesn't matter if it's Boxing, sports, life or business...you cannot have success on your own!
Miguel Cotto defeats Shane Mosley in a Close Decision in a packed house at Madison Square Garden. The fight did not disappoint in any way as it was action packed throughout and provided some twists and turns. Both fighters put on a beautifully violent performance where there were no losers, especially boxing.
Sugar Shane started the fight out fast, opening with a pair of body shots of all things. This foreshadowed the interesting role reversal in the later rounds. The Puerto Rican Star quickly found his mark with his jab and was able to touch Shane pretty consistently.
Round Two to Round Five were increasing violent as Shane stood flat footed and stayed in the pocket winging single and double overhand rights off Cotto's brain. Cotto often found his mark with a punishing jab, solid hooks and a vicious straight right. Both fighters showed great chins and incredible resilience to stand up to the punishment.
Round Six saw Mosley switch up the game plan and bounce on his toes with Cotto stalking. Even though Shane has way more experience in big fights, Cotto seemed way more poised. Both fighters continued to land sizzling punches. Cotto's slightly harder, Mosley's more flash.
As most fights go, the battle between Shane Mosley and Miguel Cotto revolved around lots of comparisions. Mosley's speed vs. Cotto's power, Cotto's youth against Mosley's experience. Commentators wondered if Mosley could weather the storm out of Puerto Rico that Cotto is known for: constant pressure in the form of body punches, stamina and ring generalship. Cotto is a fighter whose best performances are often manifested in the later rounds of fights -- he drives his opponents to the mat out of sheer will and constant slugging.
Tonight, however, saw two boxers trading in expectations for surprising versatility. Mosley's flurry-based attacks gave way to caution and concentration on Cotto's body, and Cotto, late in the fight, began out-jabbing Mosley, an outcome not expected by many. The result was a hard-earned unanimous decision for Cotto in a fight that many had as close as a draw going into the final round.
"He really mixed it up and did a great job out there," Mosley said. "For a guy to be going in the ring like that and the way I was fight, and he kept fighting back, that's what made it a great fight."
It was close action the entire night, with many rounds up in the air as each fighter returned punch for punch and counter for counter. The final CompuBox numbers were an example of how close the fight was: Both fighters landed exactly 248 punches(see sidebar), a first according to CompuBox.
"Mosley hit me with some real hard punches. However, I trained in camp with speed and movement and to face his kind of power," Cotto said in his post-fight interview. Cotto's ability to weather all of Mosley's attacks while still maintaining pressure drove Mosley around the ring early in the fight, often times leaving the fighter little chance but to stall for time as the bullish Puerto Rican stalked him.
It was Mosley though who started picking up the speed and applying pressure in the later rounds, resulting in the final moments of the fight going to either fighter as each rallied for final points. Mosley began to reestablish a jab that had served him well earlier in the fight. The crowd, primarily pro-Cotto, began to change their tune, cheering for Mosley, as the back and forth action began to win some of the audience over.
Cotto ultimately cleaned the cards, coming out 115-113 (2x) and 116-113, to score another victory on top of an already spotless career.
