    Just seeing if there's a public bias.

    Can't see Foreman winning mate. Cotto's power should be enough to carry the day.

    Yuri Foreman +175 (ex. $100 to win $175)
    Cotto should have taken more time off stay at 147, fight a tune up and than fight Berto.

    You don't bet odds, you bet winners.

    Definitely Yuri Foreman. This isn't a gimmie for Cotto, Yuri has the size and speed to outbox him. Cotto's only chance is if he can cut off the ring and use his power against Yuri, but that brings up a question as well. Will Cotto's power be effective at 154? There are quite a bit of questions on Cotto's side that I would go with Yuri Foreman, but I wouldn't be surprised if Cotto won though. It is a 50/50 fight in my eyes.

    easy money to bet on Cotto

    this is going to be mismatch, I was expecting foreman to be around a 4 to 1 underdog.

    yeah, i favour Cotto but i dont know how shot Santos was when they fought. If he was still at 90% or something than this is going to be a close one

    Do you actually think Cotto hits that hard? Or do you just think he hits harder than Foreman and therefore that will score him more points with the judges?

    Cotto by KO imo, i think that Foreman has the ability to win but i think that Cotto is to steep of a step-up in competition at the minute, i think Foreman needs to gradually fight better opponents mainly due to the fact that as of now he has not fought one notable fighter..

    IMO you bet odds. I see this fight being a near toss-up, maybe a slight edge to Cotto. Foreman by decision wouldn't surprise me at all and at 3/1, I think that's the bet right there.

    upsets do happen.

    Exactly. Of course you are supposed to be the odds. That's why they have odds. Anyone who simply bets on who they think will win and doesn't consider the odds is not a very effective gambler.
