Freddie Roach was worried. He had watched Miguel Cotto’s earlier fights on film, watched the power and skill and confidence of a world champion, watched him cut off the quickness of Shane Mosley like a coyote might a jack rabbit’s attempt at escape, watched the jabs and uppercuts and counters and that thunderous left hook.
A razor-thin line separates the NFL’s top teams, but no coach is more cutting edge than Bill Belichick. His game-management decisions and defensive schemes are almost always sharp.
