    It just goes to show how much sense the sky sports boxing pundits got, how can you have the reigning WW world champion with 27 Ko's in 34 wins as the underdog. I know the PAC Express is in full swing, but how can people discredit a great champion like Cotto.

    Oh well, this is going to be the easiest money I have earned just to let you know Ive put £50 on this beauty.

    This is a recommendation to you all to get your arses over to www.skybet.com and place your bets.

    those are great odds. Pac by UD is also giving out great odds.

    Two great warriors here. Tough as nails. I don't know why so many people think someone is getting knocked out. I don't see it happening.

    He doesn't cherry pick or consumes himself in trying to impress! Maybe Being a true warrior is being considered when the word great is used.

    Aren't you worried about the odd that Cotto will KO pacquio. From what you are saying, for you to get 7/1 he needs to win on points and I see a big chance that he stops manny.

    its not about his KO ratio or that he has a belt around his waist, its all about where the money line is...

    that's what sports betting is all about.

    7/1 is definitely worth a bet, to say the dam least.

    I can definitely see Pac winning on points, but somehow, with the size difference I don't see Cotto winning on points. If he's landing enough to outpoint Pac I have feeling Pac wouldn't be able to last till the 12th...

    Pac is a fast fighter with a great chin and very hard to land on consistantly. If Cotto is landing enough to outpoint Pac then its likely that Pacquiao is just dropping his punch output because Cotto is so strong that its keeping him on the defensive too much. Don't expect Cotto to be landing more than 5-10 power punches per round which is about what Marquez was averaging in terms of power connects in both fights. Thats definately not enough to knock a guy like Pacquiao out no matter how strong Cotto is.

    Honestly I see absolutely no way that Cotto can stop Pac, I actually think the opposite scenario is more likely because knockouts often have as much to do with how many punches you're landing than how hard you punch.

    In the end though this fight will probably go the distance.

    What's more impressive, winning vacant belts but defending it against the best in the division or just sitting on your belt and always fighting people that have no chance.:hi:
     
  12. I don't think Pac has the discipline to go 12 rounds with Cotto. What I mean is, he'll eventually start trading with Cotto more and more as the rounds go by and Cotto will eventually KO him.

    Like I said, I will give my prediction after the fight and it will be 100% correct!
