Cotto vs Urkal, what to expect?

[SigmaMu]

Urkal is a good fighter but at 37 i can't see him troubling Cotto to much.
How he is still rated so highly has me baffled after two losses to Vivian Harris!
Urkal is tough and Cotto will probably have to go the distance.

Urkal must be damn tuff then. Of course Paulie Faganaggi went the distance, so Urkal could too. But I doubt it from what I am hearing. Cotto looks strong at 147, not weight drained a bit, and he's destined for greatness.

He fought Kostya Tszyu with a broken Jaw and fought the rematch with Vivian Harris sick and with a broken nose. He's tough

I have his fight Oktay Urkal vs Kostya Tszyu. Not sure if I should upload it or not?

You can expect Cotto to KTFO Urkal in 3-4 rounds, would have been more competitive 5 years ago at 140, but not now at 147.

Totally agree...well...maybe not totally...I give him six rounds...but I share the sentiment.

Marquez...a better boxer then Vasquez

MUCH better. You pride yourself on respecting the sweet science, tell me how Vasquez is a better exponent of it than RM?

I expect it to be a little trickier, 7-10 rounds before Cotto bombs him. You learn a lot of tricks as a veteren in Germany, with all those wins and a lack of skill there's only one way to get by, and Urkal got by. Saying that, Kessler BOMBED Beyer who I like a lot more than Urkal so you never know, but thats my gut instinct, 7-10 rounds before Cotto shifts him.

I forgotten to mention this earlier...but the fight won't be televised here in Germany...
And normally Urkals fights are on tv(especially title fights) or at least a summary...
So either the tv rights were to expensive for poor german tv station or they are expecting
no win at all from Urkal...
Whatever the reason... they(tv station called ARD ) be damned...I was really looking
forward for this one...

Urkal fought Tszyu six years ago and was unbeaten until that point, he put up a good fight and proved what a tough fighter he is. My guess is Cotto will win well by decision.
Cotto will learn a lot from this guy.
