    Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

    His tattoo is actually a Viking fighting an Alien. There is a section on his website about it in Danish.

    Yes I'm a fan of Kessler. And lots of other fighters, but Kessler is my favorite for his style.

    I think Kessler stole the idea on his arm from Mads Larsen who has something similar. That is just tribal and the red parts are some kind of monster. On the right of his back and stomach is the monster fighting a viking. Chest is other faces of random monsters. The viking idea apart from heritage is supposed to be be metaphorical for his boxing career as vikings were traders that had to conquer the world to get what they wanted. Shame that isn't coming into fruition right now!

    I havn't actually stared at his body all day to realise this :-(, it says on his website about the tattoos in Danish and I've seen a lot of bull**** spoken about them. Now it is cleared up!

    Cotto's tattoo looks quite homo.

    Cotto is starting to look seriously trashy, IMO. He doesn't have half the class of a Tito.

    I have yeah......

    He admitted going up to 175/180lbs after his beating from Margarito..... from memory I remember hearing that he likes the olde ginger ale, perhaps he indulged plenty this time.

    Is Jennings taller than Cotto and does he have a reach advantage??
    Emanuel Steward is always talking about taller pressure fighters being more difficult to face then shorter ones but if Jennings can get into the fight land some shots and get Cotto going backwards the upset could be on... That said i think Cotto is one of the best fighters at any weight out there and Jennings hasnt ffaced the same level of competition so fully expecing a pretty routine stoppage after 5 rounds for Cotto BUT id love the upset the happen

    That's a very pertinent point actually, hadn't thought of it like that

    Cotto could be very tentative, if Jennings can just make it competitive and start to scratch the surface of Cotto's confidence, it could get interesting

    everybody has written off jennings,he has to look at moving all the time and everything coming of the jab staying very focused and if he gets beyond 5-6 rounds he might just do it, got to look out for cottos left hook, cotto will not be any fitter than jennings, will be very hard for jennings. but i wish all the very best and i hope he does it.

    I've saved my prediction till now... I like mick and this is in no way putting him down as a fighter, he's a very good domestic level fighter who could do well at Euro level. I think Jennings will start fairly fast and Cotto will be somewhat suprised intially by his tenacity. But Cotto, despite been a slow starter tends to suprise opponents early, so don't be suprised to see jennings at least rocked early, maybe he'll suffer a first round knock down.

    I think the It is going to take Cotto a little time to get into the fight after the initial opening exchanges. Jennnings fast hands and good movement will see him pecking away... not on the back foot but intelligently moving in and out of range. Say three rounds in Cotto will start taking over with his eye catching counters, it will still be fairly even but Cotto class will be beginning to tell. By around the seventh round Jennings will have been counter punched sufficiently to make him realise that the fight is no longer winnable on points. Here Jennings' heart and pride will hurt him. He'll start to stand and trade with Cotto. Cotto's hooks will find there way behind Jennings vey frontal guard. Jennings will wobble andas he tries to fight cotto off, Miguel will loop those left hooks into Jennings long body and force a knockdown.

    Jennings won't give in, he'll prob try and get up and carry on but if he makes it to the end of the round Brian Hughes pulls him out and if he goes down again the towel comes in...

    Cotto via stoppage rounds 6-9

    Very nice prediction.

    I can see a lot of sense in this.

    I think Jennings is going to gut it out and go the distance but will lose a wide UD.
