Im picking Valuev and Cotto......whos with me???

I think Cotto has a great chance because of his accuracy and being the bigger man and all.

But Valuev is ****ing horrible, I'll be shocked if he actually KO's Haye.

 

Both are underdogs at bookies.

 

I';m also picking Cotto.

But while I'm picking Haye over Valuev I'm not sure at all and there is a good chance Valuev could beast him.
To me if anybody is getting KO'd here it's Haye.

 

I'm with you.

I'd like to see Haye win, but I just have it in my head that Valuev will stop him early. He'll put him on ***** street with a big thunderous counter. Haye will be up on wobbly legs, but will be thrown around like a rag doll by NV when he's trying to tie him up. Valuev to find the time and space to finish him with a nice liuttle 1-2 combo. Maybe 2nd round, no latr than the 3rd.


Cotto to force a stoppage on Pacman by around the 6th. Granted, i've backed ODLH and Hatton to absolutely smash Pacman before, but **** it, i'm picking Cotto to do the same.

 

Shocked? Haye was nearly KO'ed by Lolenga Mock a career super middleweight. He was also hurt pretty badly vs Thompson who knocked him out after he blew his wad and took a knee vs Mormeck and was also shook to his boots by Monte Barrett. All of those men much less for Mock are very small heavyweights. Valuev is 300lbs and a mountain of a man. He's as mobile as a herd of legless buffalo but he has the sheer size to trouble Haye immensely. Seeing as Hayes chin is not far off bone china a Valuev KO would defintly NOT be a shock.

 

A prime DLH would have tooled Pac. The major plus's for Pac was his speed and exceptional footwork. DLH has never done well with speedy punchers. Either way Pac did the unthinkable. The Hatton victory though was a given.

This fight though is very intriguing. Cotto is a slow starter but can box and can infight. Providing Margo hasnt pounded too much out of him this should be very competitive. But im not sure Cotto can keep up with Pac's pace or adjust that well to his foot work and counters. There is the potential that this fight could be very much like the DLH fight with Cotto getting his ears boxed off. It all depends on which Cotto turns up and how well he has prepared a game plan for cutting down the ring. Because his chin isnt of the Margo Shane variety a stoppage could be on the cards as Cotto hasnt done well vs punchers who were southpaw or guys with speed. Despite Cotto being the bigger man stylistically he should be relatively easy fodder for Pac to deal with. Im leaning towards Pac via late TKO or UD. But i would like to see Cotto rise from the ashes and shake the Margo beating off. I just hope it hasnt taken too much out of him as that was a bad beating because of Margo's cheating.

 

I'm going with Cotto and Haye.

After seeing how Big Nico was troubled by Holyfield's "speed" I expect Haye to box clever and build up and early lead before he gets into a bit more trouble in the later rounds but manages to survive. I wouldnt be surprised if Haye was down a couple of times but I still expect him to win.

Cotto is a great judge of distance, and I think thats going to a big advantage against Manny.

 

Im with you on Valuev. I actually wrote a article about this fight about 1 month ago or so.... so check it out if you want:

Im not with you on Cotto tho. Pac is a horse and i think he will outpoint Cotto. But i havent given it as much thought as Valuev - Haye.

In Pacman fights i picked Pac UD over Hatton, Oscar UD over Pac, and I picked Pac over Diaz by UD.

 

I like Valuev and Paq
