I just don't see Cotto losing this one. If it was against Margarito, then I would have reservations.
I think he takes out Gomez in 8.
He is gonna pot shot Gomez while taking away his body. Gomez will be competitive for the first few, but Cotto will wear him out.
Well cotto is yet to really face a natural welterweight yet so im a little cautious about saying cotto will win. Im kinda getting a little bit of a kostya tszyu vs phillips vibe. Phillps was use to fighting bigger guys and kostya didnt take him as seriously as he should of...im thinking this could be an upset.
gomez is the bigger guy going into the ring, but lacks the experince and skill, cotto should win but it'll be a long hard night, gomez has gained in confidence from his last couple of outtings and can take a decent punch
i feel a points win or late stoppage for cotto..............thats if cotto has taken the fight seriously ( keep hearing how he hasn't but he's never seemed that way ) if not a upset could easly happen
Snake you say Cottos never fought a natural Welter what do you consider Urkal and Quintana? Just curious...Quote:

Mosley hadn't beaten anyone or had any mega fights before he moved up to 147
If your directing that at me then you obviously didn't read my post properly you need to read it again. I said Mosley was at his best at Lightweight but that isn't his natural weight.Quote:

I stand corrected, give ya some rep mate ;) But urkal isnt, he fought a jr welterweight and well mosely he has been at 154 for the last couple of yrs meaning he had to drop weight to fight cotto. So i mean he hasnt really fought a guy whos consitently at welter but you got me with quintana, i forgot about him.Quote:

Lyle what are you talking about ?? Cotto was weak and drained at Jr Welterweight. Its obvious Cotto is much stronger and has much better punch resistance at Welterweight meaning he is for certain natural Welterweight.Quote:
