Miguel Cotto Right Back

Miguel Cotto is not enchanting any chances in so far as his training for the Nov 14 super fight with Manny Pacquiao is concerned. Phil Landman, who is Cotto’s training coach, told Fightnews and Manila Bulletin with the intention of the Puerto Rican puncher is right on track in training. The work Miguel has ended leading in to this training has been and will carry on to be very beneficial. In the coming weeks we have a plan set forth leading up to our departure to Tampa, focusing on the power and conditioning side and building on the base Miguel has carried in to this camp.

Landman, who works side by side with chief coach Joe Santiago, said the 28-year-old reign World Boxing Organization welterweight king would still work out a sweat during next week’s press/publicity tour that will carry them and Team Pacquiao to New York, Caguas, San Francisco, Los Angeles and possibly San Diego.

The press visit is pending up and it’s a challenging week with all the traveling, erratic hours and long days. Obviously not that favorable to the training but it is also necessary and part of it and we work around the agenda. We have a curriculum set forth for that week so we try to reduce losing out on any of the preparation said by Landman, who arrived in the islands nine days ago. Long before Landman arrived, Cotto had been frequent the gym and sweating it out. On Monday, Cotto at last began sparring and the guy who was on the in receipt of end of his power shots was Puerto Rican welterweight Frankie Santos.

Meanwhile, Landman also exposed that while diet and nutrition play a vital role in training, Cotto’s sustenance do not need the importation of game meat like antelope and other funky stuff that was supposed to have been tried by Oscar De La Hoya when he was training for Pacquiao last year. As far diet goes there is nothing profligate that Miguel enjoys and we make a part of his diet during training. He eats a mixture of good balanced meals sticking to the basics, fish, chicken etc as well as a food frequent to the Puerto Rican diet. Miguel is an avid cook and over the last pair of years has actually come to understand what the advantage of eating well has on his training and recovery, added Landman.

Commonwealth Burden For Arthur

The recurring Welsh featherweight, 2002 Commonwealth Games champion, is now next in line for a British title shot against champion Martin Lindsay. Arthur is victorious since his comeback in 2008 and beat highly-rated Akaash Bhatia in the British title eliminator. Arthur said that When I retired, I know I hadn't reach my potential.He supposed to be the first Welshman since Howard Winstone in 1958 to win a Commonwealth boxing crown when he won the lightweight division in Manchester in 2002.

The golden boy curved professional a year later in a fire of publicity, combating on many high-profile bills of then stable-mate Joe Calzaghe's undercards and won his first nine professional fights. But Arthur struggle to settle into the professional game and retired in the wake of back-to-back knockouts in 2005 by Haider Ali and Harry Ramogoadi.

The Cwmbran boxer returned to the ring three years later to beat Ayittey Mettle in April 2008. When I curved pro my Commonwealth gold medal was like a millstone around my neck Arthur told was chucked directly into the limelight with a big promoter and being on television I had a lot of pressure and that hope weighed me down - it was hard to carry. I had the force of people patting me on the back and saying how good I was going to be.

There was a force to bang opponents out and really shine. There was also the force of people criticising my every move. The 29-year-old added On my comeback I have fight in small hall shows and have educated my trade properly. Also I rather to be the underdog people now want to write me off and that suits me fine. The stress will return if I fight for a British title but I'm 29-years-old now and I'm more mature both as a fighter and as a person and so that I can handle things much better.

When I won Commonwealth gold my age was 22 and still I was a kid. While I have a great time first time around, I was young and I wasn't taking the game as seriously as I am now. Now I want to see how superior I can be don't want to be one more journeyman, I now want to win titles. I'm not involved in fighting six-rounders as there is not a huge deal of money in boxing.

Coming back was a huge gamble and monetarily it is a struggle for me and my family. But when I'm old and grey I don't want to imagine I had 20 years of being punched in the head but won nothing. I'm previously riding out my second chance and if I lose my next fight it could be my boxing career over.Arthur, now taught by former Commonwealth and British light-heavyweight champion Eddie Avoth, has quit his refrigeration and personal training businesses to concentrate on boxing full-time.

Hatton Want to Fight Against Diaz

If something was proved last night in Juan Diaz’s resentfully contested 12-round decision victory over Paulie Malignaggi, it’s that Ricky Hatton would perhaps have a great chance of beating Diaz if they were to fight. Diaz 25, a boxer known for his high work rate, barely defeated Malignaggi by a narrow decision that has sent reverberation around the boxing world because of the divisive nature of the bout.Whether Diaz actually should have won or not, he failed to prove that he’s any better than Malignaggi. This is a good information for Hatton, 30, because he totally conquered Malignaggi in an 11th round work stoppage victory in November 2008. Since Diaz most likely won’t be giving Malignaggi a much needed rematch, this could leave Diaz free for Hatton should be involved in swooping in and grab an easy scalp.

I don’t know whether Hatton’s chin has been compromised or not in his recent 2nd round knockout loss to Manny Pacquiao in May, but I do consider that Hatton would have a good sufficient chin to easily beat a fighter like Juan Diaz. Diaz is small for a light welterweight, and doesn’t have the kind of big authority that would likely give Hatton much troubles. Even superior is that Diaz likes to go war on the inside, slugging it out with his opponents. This would be ideal for Hatton, because he wouldn’t have to deal with a fighter with a lot of momentum or movement like Floyd Mayweather Jr or Pacquiao. Diaz would be facing an opponent with better power than Juan Manuel Marquez and Nate Campbell, and would be in serious trouble unless Hatton’s chin really is as bad as some people think it is.

Although Diaz would be involved in fighting Hatton, mainly because of the big money that a clash like that would generate for him, I’m not so sure that Hatton would be forced enough to get back in training and take the fight. Even though Diaz is a boxer that is tailor made for Hatton, he might still be a little shell shocked from his loss to Pacquiao. Hatton needs to think taking this wrestle because Diaz is the perfect enemy for him and it would help Hatton get his career back in order. It doesn’t be the issue what Diaz does in the circle against Hatton, I can’t see Diaz having much chance in denting Hatton’s chin.

At close range, Hatton is hazardous and would be hitting Diaz with some major shots. Diaz didn’t look superior against Malignaggi in the second half of their fight, and had Malignaggi had a little more authority, he almost certainly would have stopped Diaz. Hatton would be bringing big influence into the ring and I doubt badly whether Diaz would even make it to the 6th round if he elected to slug with Hatton.

Aim To Be Champion

Returning in January after a one-year dismiss, Guerrero effectively moved up to the super featherweight partition with a first-round knockout of Edel Ruiz. That was followed in March by a dreadful no-contest against Daud Yordan in which Guerrero was apparent by many to have encouraged a referee’s stoppage after suffering a cut in the second round. Three months later Guerrero gained a gauge of redemption by fighting through another cut and stopping former lightweight contender Efren Hinojosa.

I’ve been out for a month and a half in Big Bear getting actually and mentally ready for the fight. Those guys come in form and they come to fight, so I know Klassen is going to be ready.In assess the confront posed by Klassen, Guerrero approved the South African sparkplug might be the toughest assignment so far in his growing career. He has actually fast hands, and not just fast hands but his punch output he punches over a hundred punches a round and carries that all the way through the fight,” observed Guerrero. He’s a two-time world champion and to be a champion and to be defensive your title, you’ve got to have incredible in the tank.

Though Guerrero’s self-confidence is peaking having spent substantial time training with Sugar Shane Mosley in the Southern California mountains. Shane is enormously fast, not just with his hands but with his feet, and then there’s his ring generalship and the experience that he has. It’s a big help to see how devious Shane is in the ring and it really does up your game a lot just being in there with him.

Being in camp you forever want to better yourself and learn more, and improve on what you already have. We’ve been effective on a lot of diverse things and on fight night its going to show I think a lot of public are going to be surprised. We’ve been out here functioning hard and focus on different things and putting the package together.

Guerrero spoke of the advantage of training far from the distraction of home, despite his strong roots in the San Francisco Bay Area. Guerrero’s positive tone is a change from the almost disobedient one he was compulsory to strike earlier this summer, following the onslaught of criticism arising from his no contest against Yordan. Guerrero admitted that having to fight during a similar cut in his next fight out in June was a blessing in disguise.
