My prediction for this fight since first mentioned in 2012 was and still is Alvarez. I'm pretty confident about it, too.
Should be a great one. A couple years ago, I said that Canelo wasn't ready for Cotto because he wouldn't be able to handle Cotto's educated pressure and experience. Now, I'm not so sure :think...
I give Cotto a good chance he's proven time and again he'll be a tough out for anybody, but at the end of the day i think it's Canelos time. Saying that though I get the same feeling I had about the Martinez fight, and May-Cotto II maybe destined to happen.
Cotto definitely better boxer. But I am not 100% he can hang with a young strong guy anymore. I still think he should not fight at that weight. Also, I have doubts about his face. Since the Margarito fight he swell and cut very easily. That could be a problem tonight. I do hope he wins
