    :lol: No worries

    HBO coverage starts at 3.15 our time. Martiroysan-Greene (which I think could be a top fight) is first up.

    I'm not sure what to make of Foreman tbh, the Santos win looks good on paper but Santos looked in terrible shape and seemed disinterested. Obviously he's going to look to win this behind his jab - he has the height and reach advantage but I think this is a massive step up in class for him. If Cotto has anything left (3 of his last 4 fights have been very bruising and damaging) I fancy him to regularly get inside and chop Foreman down from the body. Late Cotto stoppage is my pick.

    TBH Santos looked like he'd come straight from a pie-eating contest.

    I think Cotto will take this comfortably on points.............maybe a late stoppage.

    He's been inactive as ****, so a "who gives a ****" attitude in regards to fitness/training was always likely to creep in at some point.

    I mean he's been fighting 1 fight a year ever since he beat Margarito in 2004, eventually things had to give, and it did in the fight against a pretty resilient Foreman. I don't think Foreman can rely on that happening with Cotto tonight though. Plus, although lighter, Cotto is more of a classier operator than Santos ever was.

    And Santos was doing his best pc plod impression in that fight, yet still he nearly walked down Foreman a couple of times.

    I'd seen him live against Takaloo, and he looked awesome, how far the mighty have fallen.

    to be fair if cotto turs up he shpuld make mince meat of this guy but if hes just not the same then foreman could easily outbox him

    but i got good odds on cotto under 9.5 so im hopin hes ll there
