Good point about Tony's chin...in that it doesn't really matter when you can't breathe.

Its still a pick em in my eyes but as you can tell im leaning to Tony.

Let me ask you this though...if Cotto drops Tony within say 6 is he the P4P best?

Hey dude, I actually am picking Tony in this one, and did in the poll. I was leanin towards Cotto for a long time, and then finally made up my mind on Margarito last week. As far as Cotto being #1, I think Pac has it locked right now, but it puts him at a legit #2 ahead of Joe Calzaghe. What about you>

07/25/2008

Body Weight: 164LBS

Summary

Jump Rope: 12 Minutes (High-Knees Sprints last 30 seconds of rounds)
Shadow Boxing: 10 x 3 Minute Rounds
Stretching: 5-10 Minutes
Slip Bag: 5 x 3 Minute Rounds
Rope Drills: 5 x 3 Minute Rounds
Sparring: 4 x 2 Minute Rounds
Speed Bag: Cooldown

Notes: Weird day. Left work early and got to the gym by 4:30. Started working out, but slowed down because Paris had some guys coming from another gym that we were going to spar with. They were supposed to show up at 6 - 6:30. So, basically chill out and just keep warm. Light shadow boxing, stretching, slip bag, etc. Finally, around 6:45, they havent showed up, so we get sick of waiting and glove up to go with one of Ramon's guys. I had warmed up, cooled down, warmed up again, and then we spar 4 rounds. Didnt too well. The guy had kind of an ackward style, but I am just making the same mistakes and rushing things that I shouldnt, going to the body from too far away, waiting on the guy, etc. Landed some good shots, and went to the body well in the last round, but probably got out-did over the 4 rounds. In Paris terminology, I was a bit too rushed, jittery and fucked up looking. End of the week though, now just got to get some running in this weekend and chill out and watch the Cotto vs Margarita fight tomorrow.

Liu disapproves of the baby rounds.

Yeah? I know some trainers like theyre guys to do 3 minute rounds under the assumption that their conditioning will be better. Problem is that you get to pacing yourself for 3 minute rounds instead of the time that you actually have. 2 minutes aint a long time to get in there, establish your jab and get some shit going. Good to train for the time that you will actually be using.

I don't think that training for 2 vs. 3 is more advantageous to train 2 to fight 2 as opposed to 3 to fight both. 3 are longer, sure, but who CAN'T lead a round? You're not a counter-puncher really, you're at your best being aggressive and pressing forward skillfully. I don't see the problem in going 3, but knowing in your head that if you have another bout at 2 minute rounds, you just kick the guy's ass for 2 minutes. If anything I think you're smart enough to think of the needed haste and won't be LESS aggressive like this past fight.
