I didn't expect so many to predict an easy win for Cotto, he does have those great body shots but I think Pac will know to get his whole body out of the way.
I think it will be a classic war, Arguello vs Pryor style. Might be asking a bit much but you can only hope.
It's pretty hard to tell, I can imagine a blow out happening either way as much as a decision going either way...
I expect a tactical fight with just few punches thrown in the first two rounds. Then the third round is when Pac starts to unleash his power shots while Cotto is slowly carving in. Cotto finally gives in in the 7th round.
I see a reverse of this and Pacman winning. Pac is just a better fighter and if the fight goes 3 or 4, he will figure out Cotto. Pac's handspeed is impressive, and in my mind his corner people handpicked Cotto- who is diminished no doubt. The only question I have is what would happen if Cotto hits Pacman clean to the body and then starts to land to the head? Would be interesting to see how Pacman takes a Cotto punch. I just see Pacman taking charge with his speed and coming on to stop Cotto on cuts in the late to mid rounds.
That would be nice, Some people are thinking this might be Hagler/Hearns all over again, but you need two guys who are angry at each other for that to happen.
RESPECT your view juanitoboxing! Here's my take.. friend of mine said fight is over in 3 rounds In my case, i believe fight is over in either rounds 5 or 6! No problem with Cotto fans. I have high respects with Cotto and his fans
Yes I agree and it's not really Cotto's style to go forward letting his hands go. He's more calculted in what he does. I expect Cotto to fight off the back foot countering trying to find an opening to the body. Which I think could be his key to victory. If not I see him getting stopped late in a similar way to the Margarito fight. Just to much punishment and to many punches from Pac.
this fight is weird for me because even though i feel that this is truly a 50-50 fight.. im actually expecting a blow-out but dont know w/c side will be at the giving and receiving end :?
