    1. This will become a Round-by-Round on the night

    2. If we hear about UK TV coverage let me know

    3. What do we make of the quotes, particularly the bold parts?

    4. Does anybody really believe in Jennings' chances?

    Rob has posted a thread regarding TV coverage. He says that Setanta will show the fight at 10am the next day. No live coverage in the UK.
    :lol:

    Jennings UD.

    I can offer absolutely no analysis to how this result will happen, nor can i contemplate how he could possibly do it.

    He just will :yep

    GOOOO JENNINGS!!!!!!

    Would you guys like Jennings v Mosely after this, or maybe he can tempt PBF out of retirement. He could derail the Berto hype train as well.

    Michael Jennings.....British ATG in the making

    There is no way on god's planet that Michael Jennings is going to win this one! If he makes it out of this fight alive it will be an achievement.. Cotto by KO inside 5.

    There is no way ANYONE can justify picking Jennings. He doesn't even have a punchers chance, he'll be fighting at MSG which will be packed with Ricans but sometimes things happen which defy science, nature and logic :smoke.

    WAR JENNINGS!!!!!!!!

    Ok...let's try a different approach. The vote seems fairly unanimous at this stage.

    Can anybody envisage him lasting the distance...and how? :think

    If by somehow he has a divine power which means he can turn invisible then maybe, just maybe he can go the distance?

    jenno simply aint fought anywhere close to this level and i think its going to be a lot harder staying away from cotto than he thinks..

    i can see him getting walked down and stopped in 6 or so, but i reckon he will be competitive up until then.

    good lad jenno, hope he does himself proud.

    Jennings.

    I've never heard of either of them, I'm just going for Jennings because he has a better record.

    I don't think he really believes in himself to beat Cotto....the quotes like 'even when i get to fight for a world title its against bloody Cotto!' and loadin his gloves with nails to beat Cotto tells me this.

    If he manages to go the distance or at least the later rounds whilst winning a couple then he can be assured of a few more decent paydays.

    The truth is that nobody really knows how the brutal loss will effect Cotto....it could have affected him mentally...

    Thats the best I can hope for
