Miguel Cotto will face Daniel Geale at 157

[J_Undisputed]

Not really impressed by the opponent, but I didn't expect much after the BS he pulled with the Canelo negotiations. Apparently catch weights are going to be the new in thing/loophole when it comes to holding belts hostage while you fight mediocre competition while waiting for a big payday. Hold the belt hostage, don't defend it, but keep it on a technicality so you can use it as a bargaining chip at negotiations to up your cut. What bull. The alphabet organizations need to start stripping these idiots and weed the f*ckery out of their organizations to bring some dignity back to the sport.

For me personally I have lost a ton of respect for Cotto. I've been a fan of his for as long as any of his countrymen but this "157" bullshit catchweight garbage needs to get tossed. Why does that lame ass WBC not jump in and say wait a second here you cant arbitrarily change the weight! Wtf is this now a free for all? Just dream up a weight after you have won the weight title?

Its a great optional but why the F*&*&%ING catch. Its obvious they already think the Kazak ruined him so why the need to cheat? Whats he going to do demand a catch afterward should he prevail with the real middleweight champion? No, he's going to dump the belt and most likely fight Alvarez. I hope when the Wbc gives him his copy of the belt to take home with him that they make it out of paper.

I'm predicting a Geale win and maybe even a stoppage and in my eyes it wont be an upset at all but the noteworthy story that will follow for me is that Danial did it when forced into a dumb ass catchweight.

As if Cotto needs your respect.
He's about to retire and is looking for a few more paydays.

Geale isn't stopping anybody....if anything he'll be the one getting stopped.

This right here! Drop the belt or step the fool up and stake your claim. Better yet, melt all the belts down and make the shiniest toilets known to man. It's the same thing. This wink and nod catch weight 'every body wins and all is safe' horseshit is a mockery to a fans common sense and stubborn commitment to the sport.

Geale got smashed by GGG! This is silly from Cotto because it will show him up even further that he is not in GGG league. he should not even pretend that he could live with him and say it.

A big fight with Canelo would be the dream fight but maybe he is waiting for Floyd v Pac Man winner?

GGG fought guys that have been smashed by others.

One of them was smashed in 30 seconds of the first round....at WW...lol

Don't start crying now.

Stop talking and let your care worker speak instead.

I'm thinking Cotto will be a significant favorite based off name recognition, last performance by both fighters and Cotto die hard fans. If I can get 2-1 or better odds I'm betting 5-7 grand on this one. Geale is too big and mobile and will beat Cotto handily. Hope I can get 3-1 odds, that will bring me about $21k in return on investment.

It definitely looks like a cheap bs move to draw comparison in a way to the one considered on top of the pack. That's not so bad but the CW makes it empty. Geale is ranked in top 10 across the board by all trinket organizations (talk about oxymoron) and to not allow limit comes across weak.

Cotto turns 35 this year and he has had a few batterings, it won't get any easier for him. He will beat Geale and then must take on the real challenge of Canelo or GGG. A fight against either one of them must take place later this year before Cotto becomes a punching bag himself!

[Gandalf]

Its a fair stay busy fight but what's with the gay CW? Make your mind up, Cotto. Are you a MW or not?
