True, Cotto is supposed to be able to handle the business. But it's the year of changing the old guards so far. It would be a spectacle if 2 of the underdogs score upset in tomorrow big fights.
Hope this is Cotto's last fight. He is 36 and hardly someone who has limited miles on the clock in terms of punishment He takes out this Jap, via a late stoppage. This Jap looks terrible on tape and his record sucks big style.
At least he's smart enough not to fight someone who can send him flying through the ropes in his farewell match.
Sometimes underdogs become extra-adrenaline-charged when they feel that they are being underestimated and perform superhumanly. In such cases the athlete who confidently chooses them runs the danger of retiring via flying through the ropes.
