Cotto vs. Floyd Jr. & "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Mosley - Saturday night fight thread

[Diane]

Ok I got the usual prefight jitters. I always have them for Miguel's fights.

I have to stand by my man Miguel, but if he loses, I won't be that upset, because he would be losing to one of the best out there, so there's no shame in that.

The Mayweather fight is FREE on Polish public TV, probably Alvarez fight too. Expect a bunch of streams with a funny language.

Win, lose or draw, I believe Miguel will be giving it his all, i'm still optimistic about his chances of winning.

Any know how long till it starts ?

About 20 minutes. 9pm EST.

I believe (don't hold me to it) Vargas vs Forbes is up first.

[Mars_ax]

Does anyone know what the Vegas odds are for Cotto - Floyd?

[Mars_ax]

Alrighty, here we go, Lampley, Merchant, Steward and Kellerman calling the action for HBO PPV tonight.

First up: Carlos Quintana vs. Deandre Latimore, 10 rounds, junior middleweights, so 3 fights before the main event.

[Mars_ax]

Quintana you might recall won the WW title from Paul Williams only to get waxed in the rematch.

[Mars_ax]

Ledderman has it even 2-2 after 4 rounds in this 10 round opener.

I believe Quintana is up 3-1, after 4 and outworking Latimore.

[Mars_ax]

Quintana pounds Latimore to the canvas in the 6th round, nice KO for the 'Rican, great opener.

[armin]

Quintana just did a number on latimore

[armin]

So far this is one of the best days of boxin in a loooooong time

[armin]

I would love it if shane could turn back the clock and do a number on alvarez but to old and 154 was never his best weight to begin with

[CFH]

I would LOVE to see Mosley pull off the upset here. I can't stand Alvarez.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I knew Cotto would get on his bike.. he's doin all the right things.
