Cotto vs. Canelo verbal deal reached (if Cotto beats Geale)

[Kirkland Laing]

Generally I don't have a problem with catchweights but even I think this is frigging bollocks. If you're gonna masquerade as the middleweight champ then the opponent should at least be allowed to weigh 160.

There's no penalty clause if Geale comes in above 157. So if he weighs in at 160 the WBC would still have to recognize the fight. Would Cotto/Roc Nation pull the plug? (stolen from Steve Kim)

Cotto's people are idiots for not having a penalty in the contract and Geale is an idiot if he doesn't come in at 160.

The Wbc has already said that they will allow Cotto to skip over the Kazak once the Geale fight is done and make the fight with Alvarez as long as the winner agrees via contract to fight the Kazak next. You see there is always an end justifies the means rule with the Wbc.

What does this mean exactly? It means Geale will need a ko to get a decision and even that could end in controversy. Anything at all takes place and you can be rest assured that it favours Cotto no matter what it is. I mean imagine if Geale wins The beast from the east already demolished him. He becomes a bigger paper belt holder then Cotto and the money trail goes cold. Whats the Wbc going to do then? Your super duper lineal champion was already pulverized by the regular one.

Eh i think Cotto has a great chance to lose it was not to long ago that Trout beat his ass and then the division can get back on track. I really don't a champ that not going to face the best in the divsion because whats the fucking point then might as well not have the belt.
