Cotto has had more than 100 stitches in his face due to numerous cuts. Just recently he had as many as 30 to close the gash above his left eye. An area that is still tender. All this hype over this mega showdown is going to be a big let down when Cotto cuts open in the first or second round and the fight is stopped. Don't say I didn't warn you guys.
I always thought that even if Pacquiao loses, he will tear Cotto's face to shreds. Pacquiao's punches are very sharp, fast, and come from unorthodox angles, so there is a very good chance that he could cut Cotto early on. But...he'll have to do more than just cut Cotto if he wants to win this one.
Before every big fight, people make threads about "predictions" that are unlikely to happen just so they have a chance, which they realize is a very small chance, to come back and say "I told you so". This is one of those meaningless threads.
