I am reading at this (2) other sites that the fight is rumored, so yes not quite official yet. That it will take place at the Garden on Nov 10. If this fight takes place at the Garden then I will definetly be in attendance. Just hope the tickets are not outrageously priced. I think this fight goes the distance. If Cotto can cope with Mosley's speed than it will be a long night for Mosley. I know many question Cotto's chin but at 147 I think he recovers faster and has pretty good coping skills and is a greatly composed fighter. There is a possibility of Cotto getting stunned but with the exception of Vargas, whom we all know has had better days, and is probably fighting his retirement fight Mosley hasn't KO'ed anyone since 2001. So its experience and speed versus relentless pressure and youth. I pick Cotto by 12rd SD. I think his effective pressure and activity will overcome Mosley's speed and experience.
I think it is offical now. Its a 50-50 fight. Boxer or brawler, who wins. Both are versatile fighters though, Cotto can box and Mosley can brawl. Foot speed v strength, hand speed v power, tall guy or stocky guy. Its a legendary fight.
It's a done deal and they will begin there multi city tour to promote the fight,just go to fightnews,u know the rest.
I'm up in Toronto, but I'll make an effort to get down to NYC for the fight ... I'm expecting that crowd to be hot for the fight ... I've yet to see a basketball game or boxing match at The Garden.
Yeah I was at Cotto-Quintana..My first live fight. It was electric. My damn camera ran out of memory when Cotto finished Quintana off. But overall it was a great experience.
I'm taking Mosley. Would not be surprised if he stops Cotto. In fact, I'm leaning towards that happening in the later rounds.
