Canelo Alvarez vs Miguel Cotto. Who will win???

[Kirkland Laing]

There are reasons to pick both guys. I originally expected Cotto to start well and pick his spots and win the first half of the fight but then Alvarez to gradually catch up with him, Cotto to spend the second half of the fight on his back foot and eventually get stopped. Now I'm not so sure. Maybe Cotto wins a close points decision.

Cotto isn't in his prime anymore but he still has enough left to make this a great fight. It's not like Bradley Rios where Rios had basically checked out before the fight and was not competitive. This will be good to watch.

He's done well since he hooked up with Roach but the three fights he's had have been against low quality and/or weight drained opposition. He might look considerably less good against a live opponent with a lot of power. I think I'm still going to pick Alvarez late.

Cotto will fade as he always does. The last time he did 12 and WON was against Clottey
The last time before that was Malignaggi
The last time before that was.... was.... was....



Unless he mounts an absolutely DOMINANT lead in the first two thirds, I think he'll loose a close decision or get stopped very very badly.

Sorry this is wrong he also beat Mosley and the Turkish fighter.
