This will be a cracker i reckon. Im going to shock a few people and say i think gomez has a chance of winning this.

Cottos chin will let him down, even if gomez doesnt win i think he will put cotti down

Its on sky sports live which is a bonus :)

Cotto, It's Cotto !!!! lol


Yeh I was feeling an upset too but then I thought it's Alfonso Gomez lol. hmm neh Cotto to TKO Gomez.

But Mayorga will give Cotto his first loss.

Cotto will breeze past Gomez. Harsh reality is that Gomez is not a world class fighter and doesn't belong in the ring fighting Cotto. It's nothing more than a warm up fight.
Gomez has beaten no one of any note (Gatti way way past his prime and a retiring Takie) and just a few fights ago he was still doing 8 rounders I think.

The MUCH MUCH better fight on the same card is the rematch between Cintron v Margarito. That has the potential to be a very very good fight with both fighters loving to bang.
Margarito stopped him last time after Cintron made a good start (from what I can recall) so it will be interesting to see how much Cintron has improved / Margarito has declined.

Hey Smit who do you think between Cotto and Mayorga which is his next fight.

Well Mayorga is my favourite fighter :p Got to love his trash talking and his all out wars.

I think a lot will be down to how easy Mayorga can make the 147lb limit. He hasn't fought at that weight in 5 years and was as high as 164lbs in his last fight.
IF he can make weight easy and is fresh enough then he hits hard enough and is good enough to cause Cotto some major problems.

However I think Mayorga may be on the slide and Cotto may just be too good for him and wear him down late.
 
I can't see Cotto losing this fight and I expect him to stop Gomez.

The Cintron v Margarito fight looks like a better match, as Smit stated earlier, worth watching for that fight alone.

I'll be recording this and watching Clinton though.
 
Gomez was totally out of his class and Cotto used him as target practice, jabbing his face at will, thumping body shots and although he was very game, they could easily have stopped the fight at the end of the fourth, but they eventually did at the end of the fifth and the state of Gomez face said it all.

If Paul Williams can give a lesson to Margarito, I think Cotto will do just fine if it happens.

But Williams and Cotto share nothing in common at all other than being boxers :p

Williams is far bigger (almost half a foot taller) than Cotto and fights at range. Cotto is 4 inches shorter than Margarito and with a much smaller reach so he could not fight on the outside.

Fighting on the inside with Margarito is just plain crazy because you can't keep him off you. You need a lot of movement and throw a lot of punches (Cotto can do this but still he has a tendency to get in a brawl a few times).

cotto needs to stop avoiding people if he wants to be called a great imo

True but if he beats Mayorga (assuming the fight gets signed) and then Mayweather comes calling (doubt he will but it's possible), he'd have to go for the Mayweather fight.

Also Margarito may be tied up seeing as the IBF mandatory is due soon. Possibly either Clottey or Berto (although he isn't quite ready yet)

I know Williams is a bit of a freak in terms of height and workrate, but I don't think Margarito's reach will be much of an advantage over Cotto. He likes to throw in fast combinations from what I have seen, but does not use a jab much, which is what would give him an advantage over Cotto. The fact is, he is open to get hit and Cotto is more brutal than anyone else at 147. I would see this fight being stopped in the 8th with Margarito peeing blood for a week.
 
i dont think mayweather will be fighting anyone really big in the future, he has too much of an ego and is undfeated, he wants to stay undefeated and prance about saying he is the best, arguably he is 10 times better than hatton, but fat ricky had no chance at the world stage, mayweather is an athlete, but hes too cocky and shys away from the real world class boxers

i want mayweather to be beaten badly - but he will never fight a top opponent, he did beat de la hoya but that was when he was past his peak

cotti showed he was several classes above gomez, much like the way mayweather showed he was above hatton

mayweather v cotto v margarito

i reckon mayweather could beat margarito

margarito could beat cotto

cotto could beat mayweather

their fighting styles are different thats why i predict this
