Erislandy Lara vs Miguel Cotto?

Styles make fights:

Erislandy lara struggle against pressured fighters. Alfredo angulo and Carlos molina had success against Lara because they forced him to exchange. Some people even think that molina should have won.

He forced Lara to trade because he knew that out boxing Lara was a terrible idea. He was able to take lara out of his gameplan by smothering him.

Lara perform better against counter punchers. He easily outclassed Paul williams and Austin trout because they tried to outbox him. That was a bad idea because Lara is a accomplished Cuban amateur.

Miguel cotto is a boxer-puncher but he can also apply pressure. Look at his performances against Margorito, Floyd mayweather, and Delvin rodriguez. He was able to hurt them because he applied educated pressure.

I favor Lara because he have better boxing skills but Cotto can pull off the upset. Miguel cotto will need to pressure Erislandy lara for the entire fight. If he is successful by adopting a new role then there may be a Miguel cotto victory.

Miguel Cotto

Lara by UD 116-112 he's too quick, and keeps getting better. Lets not forget Lara only loss, was a robbery decision to Paul Williams. He schooled Williams.

Cotto via TKO or KO if not he loses a decision.
