:tombstone:Poor Alfonso, I don't think he as any idea what he has gotten himself into. He actually thinks that he is going to knock Cotto out. Talk about delusional. Alfonso does have heart, and I'm sure he'll make a go of it for a short time, but Cotto is going to destroy him.
Here's a few more pics I just found.

I just found some quotes from the press conference.
411mania.com: Sports - Gomez-Cotto Presser
"At this point of my career all my fights are important," stressed Cotto. "I don't care if I'm the favorite or not, all I know is that I'm coming to win. I expect to train a hundred percent and I'm going out of the ring the same way I came up into the ring: as the world champion.....I had a great 2007 and I want an even better 2008."
------------------------------------
"I know I'll be hungrier than Cotto," stated Gomez. "Cotto has made millions of dollars in the ring. He has been a world champion for a long time. I know he has hunger, but not like mine. When I first started boxing, I visiualized myself standing at a podium like I am today, talking about fighting for a world title. Cotto is a great, strong champion. He hits very hard to the body, but I'll be more hungrier and I will beat him. I'll be announced as the world champion on April 12th!"
-------------------------------------
Also on hand was a passionate IBF welterweight champion Kermit Cintron (29-1, 27 KOs), who is already chomping on the bit for his rematch with Antonio Margarito. "I've been waiting a long time to get my hands back on Margarito. Emanuel Steward and I are working on my game plans. Margarito gave me my only loss and I will get it back on April 12th!"

Rep for the pics. I like that one of Cotto playing Nintendo DS with his son.
Didn't Margarito show up?

Re: Cotto/Gomez - Margarito/Cintron press conference - Pics included
its nice to see a press conference where everyones in good spirits and theres no foul mouthing................... with all the crap talk thats gone on in recent press days its a breath of fresh air to see well mannered professional behaviour
Re: Cotto/Gomez - Margarito/Cintron press conference - Pics included
Well at least Gomez will get paid well for the sure beating he will take:-\
As far as Cintron, I am so looking forward to watching Tony beat him back to the Stone Age and hopefully running him out of the game. I'm going to feel really silly if Cintron ko's Margarito. Man will I take some heat if that happens:p
Good pics Diane:)

I completely agree!!! It was the same way when Cotto and Mosley were doing the press tour thing.
That is one of the many reasons why I love Cotto so much, he doesn't have to resort to shit talking, and acting like an immature spoiled brat, like some fighters we know. Cotto lets his fists do his talking in the ring, like it should be.

Gomez is going to need a good payday in order to pay for the plastic surgery he will probably have to have done on his face. ;)
Same with me on Cintron, I hope Tony beats him just as bad as last time. Cintron deserves it for crying like a baby after his fight with Feliciano.

Just another example of his lack of footspeed.
Re: Cotto/Gomez - Margarito/Cintron press conference - Pics included
I'm really not starting to like all these comments of how easy it will be for Cotto and what not.
Any fighter with the right mind set, will, heart and determination. Sprinkle a little bit of luck and you've got yourself an animal in the ring regardless of name, record etc. etc.
I'm predicting a Cotto TKO, but I think Gomez is gonna Uuuuh! and Ahhhh! us before he goes down.
