    This is a tightly contested fight.Do you like Starlings boxing skills. Or cotto being the more active and harder punching fighter? Im the one that selected Draw.

    Cotto generally does well against boxers, as evidenced against Judah, Quintana etc. That said, I think that Starling is a bit too tough and clever for him, although Cotto has the potential to do well here.

    I was a big Starling fan, but I can't pick him to win because I know Cotto's style would give him trouble because Cotto has a style that makes him a pace setter. I see Cotto starting early and winning most of the early rounds with Starling coming on late and Cotto struggling to make it to the finish. If this were a 15 round fight, I would pick Starling by tko.

    good matching and question , the answer : i don't know.
    that's why i refrained from posting in this thread untill now. and have yet to vote.
    starling was outpointable in his prime , people here forget it.
    cotto is still undefeated , at least not legally defeated.
    cotto outpointed mosley who went to stop cheato , what does this mean ?
