    That's a fantastic price !!! Cotto at 154 is going to be a hard nights work for Floyd , if cotto doesn't run out of steam or get frustrated he has a real chance here !!

    I can see no way in which Cotto wins this on points. Only way I see him winning is if he catches Mayweather with a peach of a shot and stops him. Again unlikely. I'd love to be proven wrong but he's just on another level really.

    And if he's to win on points he will need to dominate. I feel that if this fight is in anyway close, PBF gets the nod.

    Anyone know what time the weigh in is at? Not expecting any Chisora-like drama but would still like to see it

    More chance of Sugar shane beating Canelo

    I think the fight being at 154 can give Cotto some chance. I dont Floyd will have it as much his way as some people think.

    Buncey juts claimed that PBFs 32 million dollar guaranteed purse for the fight tomorrow is the higest in history. Highest purse in any single sports event I'd say.

    Colonel Bob Sheridan is at the weigh in doing commentary. Excellent commentating voice.

    rounds 3-4 key for cotto he really has to connect here to have a chance but speed is key to this fight so floyds to take. hope cotto does well, deserves this fight more than anyone.

    Can anyone tell me what time the fight starts? USA time.... I'm in China, so, I'm sure it will be Sunday morning sometime for me, cheers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,218 ✭✭✭Henno30


    Cotto didn't look that cut to me, but everyone keeps saying he's very comfortable at the weight so maybe it doesn't matter.

    Great staredown. Cotto is made for them.

    I put a tenner on Mayweather to win in the 10th round at 18/1. Really looking forward to this fight, have a feeling Cotto will be Impressive.

    It was worse. It was the worst episode of 24/7 there has been. Even the normally reliable closing montage/monologue was really poor. HBO need to shake up that production team.

    On the fight itself, it's going to be very interesting to see how well Cotto takes Floyd's shots and how good a job of stalking Floyd he's capable of doing. If you look back at the Cotto-Judah fight, Zab caught Cotto with a beautiful counter uppercut in the first round which wobbled Cotto pretty badly. Given that you'd expect Cotto to hammer the body in a similar fashion from the off tonight, and given Floyd's timing and accuracy, you'd expect to see Cotto's chin come in for a serious test early on. If he can take the shots and keep throwing back, he might well take Floyd somewhere uncomfortable and give him a real test.

    I'd be suprised if PBF can get a KO here. He isn't the type of fighter to lay down a lot of leather and aggression, and less so at this stage in his career. This is what Cotto does not like. Marg and Manny both are pretty intense. Cotto is also no dummy. He won't simply be beaten up all night. He is well capable of defending, moving, duckin, diving, spoiling and even running. I see Floyd pot shotting to a clear win. Maybe he will up the pace and volume and we'll be in for a good action fight and a masterclass. I really hope Cotto tests Floyd and at least gives it his all. Hope he throws plenty of good and clever punches and applies some pressure to at least make Floyd respond intensely.
