Miguel Cotto vs. Yuri Foreman Tickets

Cotto v. Foreman tickets offer a chance to see Puerto Rica’s favorite boxer Miguel Cotto go up in weight to take on WBA junior-middleweight champ Yuri Foreman at Yankee Stadium! The day of the fight is June 5, 2010.

The fast-rising Foreman is 28-0, and is looking to improve on that excellent record any way he can. Cotto’s defeat to the unstoppable Manny Pacquiao has probably made him hungry for a win, so hungry in fact that he is prepared to put on the pounds and go up to super-welterweight. Cotto Foreman tickets will fetch a pretty penny, as Cotto enjoys a large Puerto Rican fanbase in the Big Apple, while Foreman is an Israeli transplanted to Brooklyn and would have a big slice of the support too. What better venue to stage such a fight than the New Yankee Stadium?

When Cotto fell in the 12th round to Manny Pacquiao’s relentless punching and ability to take a punch in turn, he lost his WBO title. It was a rough fight, and it is imagined that it required a lengthy convalescence to get over it. Now Cotto is back, he has chosen to go after a man in a different weight class. Cotto Foreman boxing tickets will be tickets to the destiny of great fighter who faced a recent test.

According to the pundits, Cotto’s choice to go up in weight and face Foreman could be a tactical error. Foreman has a certain style of fighting that might prove incompatible with Cotto’s favored MO. Cotto is a puncher, as everyone knows. He needs to get close enough to his opponents frequently enough to land several punches over several rounds. The problem with Foreman is that he tends to grab opponents in a clinch, every time they come too near him. Added to this is Foreman’s own punching technique; he lands solid blows, before backing off out of reach. When pursued he uses the clinch. Cotto could struggle in an attempt to utilize his own game against a two-sided fighter like Foreman. One thing is for sure; Yankee Stadium will be rocking, and you can be rocking too, if you buy tickets to Cotto Foreman.

Top Rank owns both fighters and they have assured the world that Cotto v Foreman tickets are going on sale in the very near future. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has already declared, “Miguel wants to fight Foreman. Yuri wants a big fight. Yuri will have the Jewish fans behind him. And we already know what a big attraction Miguel is in New York and how much the Puerto Rican fans support him.”

29-year-old Foreman hasn’t ever been in a fight of this magnitude in his 8-year pro boxing career, and it would do wonders for his profile. Foreman’s WBA light middleweight title was won convincingly, but it was won at the expense of much lesser fighters than Cotto. Cotto represents Foreman’s biggest moment so far, and the question is, does he have the nerve and the stamina to apply his winning ways to this much lauded fight? If Foreman can keep hitting and running (and that’s what he usually does) then he stands a chance. If Cotto has come out of the Pacquiao decimation hungrier, more learned and calculating, then Foreman will be lucky to go the distance. So, we have a good puncher like Cotto against a man with an odd style in Foreman. Cotto must rely on his ability to adjust and switch, and Foreman must remain in touch with his natural fight. Cotto v. Foreman tickets are going to be well worth value, so if you’re a fan of a real contest in boxing, these New Yankee Stadium tickets are for you.
