Cotto-Alvarez weight set at 155; likely date Nov. 7 or Nov. 21

If he wants to fight at 155 maybe he should join the UFC's lightweight division.

What a fucking joke.

The weight suits both of them. Doesn't it?

Yeah, it does, and it's gonna be a decent fight. But the reason people get pissed off is because both these fighters are World Champions and if they want to fight catchweights, fine, but as title fights shouldn't have a catchweight , they shouldn't be defending their titles, therefore give them up.

You could say the lower weight suits Cotto as he is genuinely the smaller fighter and Canelo is known to blow up 175lb.

Fair comment. Although Alvarez hasn't been quick to move up to 160 yet so, who knows what his ideal weight would be?

[Kirkland Laing]

Cotto wins most of the first six rounds, Alvarez gradually slows him down and Cotto spends the second half of the fight on the back foot. Alvarez stops him late or wins on points.

Although if it goes to points the best result for everybody concerned is a controversial decision and a rematch.

Looking forward to this one.
