The first half of this round is the most sustained action we’ve seen in what has largely been a tactical, but entertaining, fight.
Canelo vs. Cotto 2015 live results: Canelo’s power telling as fight heats up
The action has arrived!
Cotto clearly is looking to put some fear into Canelo, so to speak, or at least make him respect his power, and both guys are landing good shots. This is heating up big time here in Round 8. Cotto throwing in combination, still moving, but biting down and throwing power shots more often.
Canelo chasing again as Cotto starts to move once more. Uppercut right to the body from Alvarez gets there. There has been some issue with Canelo’s stamina in the past, but we’ll see if that’s a problem. That might be what Cotto and Freddie Roach are trying to do now. Canelo out landing Cotto this round, but Cotto has landed enough good shots that this round is still tough to call. Canelo again did more damage.
SB Nation scores the round 10-9 for Canelo Alvarez, 77-75 overall.
