    Underated scrap?? What do you make of this fight?? Can someone school me on these fighters, have never seen either fight. I BoxReCorded each fighter, from what I gather Omar has campaigned mostly @140 & has a high KO%??? Cotto has a low KO % & has fought mostly @135??? Who is the favorite???? Just looking at BoxRec seems like Omar will KO Cotto???

    Abner looked very average in his last outing. I think he might be in for a real test.

    Omar I have looked at as the future of the LW division if he can keep his weight down there. Even at 140 he will be a problem. The kid has a good chin and very quick powerful hooks. He throws all punches with bad intentions and they do serious damage. I have been impressed with him every fight I have seen. His power is serious. It is going to take someone with slick skills to beat him as I think if you get hit by him you will do down or out. Too much power for the weight class.

    Figueroa will/should chop down A.Cotto.

    Figueroa in a route. Cotto doesn't have anything to keep him honest. I expect a early stoppage.

    Omar is improving with every outing. Julio Diaz will make sure he's sharp come fight night.

    I'm not sure Cotto can establish respect to keep Figueroa at bay.
