How would Cotto do against "King Carlos" 15 Rounds. On Voting please be specific on result: UD or SD. If a stoppage, please indicate round & type of stoppage TKO or KO.
Palomino via stoppage around the 10th round. Palomino hit harder than Margarito and didn't need cheat wraps to do it. He's also better fundementally, and had an iron chin of his own. I'm a HUGE Cotto fan, but Palomino would be breaking his bodly badly by about the 5th round, and would stop Cotto not long after. Too many fantasy fights to keep up with in my opinion now.
It is a fight which would get brutal for sure, you could see it going the way of the Margarito fight in honesty, but with that one being tainted, who knows? Palomino by late round stoppage for me, behind on points due to some very nice educated pressure from Cotto.
Carlos would win...probably on the surface dominate to be honest. Miguel is going to have a battle on his hands just getting his respect. I think Miguel is crafty enough to pick up some early rounds but he will tire..no doubt about it. And thats when Carlos will really start to beat on him. Palomino has far better skills then Margarito..so I dont thinks he gets schooled early and comes on strong late. I think Miguel will edge some earlier rounds but they will be but a distant memory by the time he is capitulating around the 9th or 10th.
Cotto might take afew rounds with the boxing but Palominowas as tough as Margarito and more skillful so its a competitve first 6 split on the scoring with Palomino taking over from then on for a 10th round TKO
Cotto should start well & use his strength to get inside and work the body. But carlos' own body attack would pay more dividens in the later rounds. Miguel slowing down & Palomino stepping it up in the later rounds would be the difference. Palomino UD. 15 rounds.
