What do you guys think about this matchup on Saturday? I'm gonna go against the majority and say Quintana pulls off a close decision, likely hurting Cotto a few times throughout the fight.
It'll be prety even through the first 4 rounds or so, and then at some point Quintana will do something stupid like turn his back to Cotto to try and avoid a left hook to the body, but punch will still hit him in the back of his ribs and do some serious damage. That's just a hunch I have.
This fight is going to upset you Cotto fans. Quintana is the bigger guy and has more boxing skills than Cotto. If Joel Julio couldnt KO Quintana what makes you think a 140lber will? 8-4 decision for Quintana possibly get a knock down too with Cotto's fragile chin and all.
Cotto found himself in trouble against a much lesser southpaw fighter in Demarcus Corley. He stands close to zero chance against the clearly better Quintana. Quintana is going to crack that chin to pieces if hes getting wobbled by southpaw jabs. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iP-gRyWaB4[/ame]
It's quite obvious Cotto is a hype job... Quitana is undefeated and the real deal.. but I guess we shall see
Cotto's a bad style matchup for Quintana. Quintana would have more success against 6-3 welterweights who throw 100-120 punches a round.
