    Y'all watching it then? Forgetting all the Setanta misery for now are we looking forward to this one?

    I'll be getting the Magners and the snacks in and watching arguably my favourite fighter of the modern era. Cotta at the Garden is always something special.

    For me, Cotto - boxing smartly - breaks Clottey's will and ref stops in rnd 10. But Clottey will have his moments guaranteed.

    fenain Calderon is perhaps technically the best boxer in the sport today he just lacks power but he makes up for it in skills he really does. A great boxer one i really enjoy watching.

    But Cotto vs Clottey mmmm what a fight

    Clottey works very hard and can take Cotto to deep waters like Margarito but he has to get through Cottos skills

    i think its a nightmare fight for cotto really, surprised he has taken it.
    Clottey is mega tuff, good left hand, good defence puts pressure on and comes to fight. Unless cotto has learned how to tie people up and spin on the inside i can see him getting beaten again

    ooh Viloria vs Calderon would be good as Viloria is a decent fighter aswell but has a bigger punch but aint as skilled.

    i dont see anyone beating Ivan until maybe he moves up to the next weight

    Clottey is a very good fighter. Before the Margarito fight, Cotto looked as though he was destined to be a truly great fighter - and still appeared to be on that course for the first half of the AM fight. If Cotto sustained any permanent damage in that fight, he will lose to Clottey. His out-of-ring troubles are also a worry. With no disrespect intended to Michael Jennings, that fight told us nothing of Cotto's current capabilities. The Clottey fight will. I'm hoping the Margarito fight has not taken its toll and, if that's the case, see Cotto by UD with scores of around 116-112.

    I think that Clottey will win this on a split points decision. Looking forward to watching this one as live coverage has been **** recently but not getting hopes up too much.

    I think that Clottey will win this on a split decision after 12 hard to score rounds. Looking forward to watching this one as live coverage has been **** recently but not getting hopes up too much.

    Calderon pretty much takes every opponent to school.
