I think it would be earlier than that...surely Cotto hits quicker and harder than Angulo or Ishida. I would say more in the 3-6 round range. Angulo and Ishida don't have the killer instinct or preciseness in their attack, Miguel can put punches together extremely well.

I agree, Cotto would end it early because Kirkland only knows one way to fight. Kirkland would come right at Cotto, and Cotto would be forced to fight, lights out for James, who has limited boxing skills and a suspect chin.
