I've wanted to see this matchup for some time now.. excited!

I think Canelo will take it; probably in a UD. It's going to be a tough fight for both of them, but Cotto's caliber of opponents lately & roach in his corner has inflated his head. Canelo is a MAJOR step up from Cotto's last 3 opponents.

If Canelo wins, I hope they can match him up with GGG. I heard they want Bradley/Canelo (eh) or Pac/Canelo (good).. but i'd love to see him in there with GGG. GGG might be just a bit too big for him though.

yo raptor.. not much to add unfortunately.. sorry for the extremely late reply ;/

I have to add some stuff to the discussion:

1) For whatever reason, I could always keep my foot dorsiflexed when I was doing LLLL or RRRR bounds. But whenever I try to do LRLR bounds, I fail miserably. Also the arms play a big role in this - in the LRLR I get my armswing all messed up and I start to move really weird. If you have the arms somewhat straight, you're going to fail. If you have the elbows bent, you will be able to keep the rhythm. Again, in my experience.

LLLL video (this was 6 years ago):

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E71QOrWbyaI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E71QOrWbyaI</a>

ya definitely don't want to use straight arms; you want to use 'sprinter arms'.

as far as that LLLL video goes, it's actually LLLLLLLLLLLLLL :f I mean that may have something to do with how you are bounding. If it was truly LLLL or LLLLL (4-5 bounds), your "mental goal" would more easily change to "max power" / "max distance". It looks more like a single leg sprint video.. which isn't necessarily a bad thing (it's effective); it's just not bounding obviously.

Did ever you notice any difference if you did 4-5 MAX EFFORT bounds? Regardless of form, a distance goal can really help..

LRLR video - you can see how horrible they look, everything is wrong, they look like primetimes:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho3JljB4d2Y" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho3JljB4d2Y</a>

ya, wrecked, arms especially. Again too many bounds though.

both your LLLL and LRLR bounds lack that vertical component.. there's no real emphasis on 'getting up and out'.. in either case it just seems like you're performing too many bounds to begin with, subconsciously or consciously changing 'the goal' of the movement. If you were focusing on 'maximum height and distance', you'd spend a bit more time on the ground & apply significantly more power on each bound... but obviously you can't do that for as many bounds as you are doing in the videos.

your LRLR looks more like stiff leg bounding.

2) What's up with the armswing, by the way? Some people can do single leg bounds really well with a double arm swing, yet when I try to do them I start to rotate around, so I have to do them like Eddie is doing them in that video - single arm. This is also true for 1-leg jumps - if I use a double arm swing I start to rotate to the left, so I use a single arm swing to compensate for that. Not to mention that in a double arm swing jump the jumping leg gets sooooo overloaded from all that "weight" being applied onto it... I guess if I were stronger I could use a double arm swing but I'm not. So IMO a double arm swing jump is more powerful, a single arm swing is "quicker".

I wonder what do you think about these issues?

as for not being able to do double arm swing because of rotating.. dno.. maybe you are bringing your arms out too much like in that LRLR video? your elbows are going out too far from your body.. that could cause you to rotate.. it's as if you're throwing a left and right hook to the body, slightly.. that's going to attempt to cause alot of rotation.

as far as double arm swing being more powerful and single arm swing quicker, agreed.. you can load up alot more with double arm swing, bigger ROM.
