Kirkland is always dangerous early.Have to favor Cotto, despite him being the much smaller man.He's still a class or two above Kirkland in talent.

PPV? Really? Joke this should be on ESPN.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Who cares.
Canelo beat them both.
Cotto should have fought Brook.
BS fight. Cotto should just retire. In a fight like this I always want the underdog to rise up and teach the taking the piss big name fighter a lesson. Not likely to happen, but I hope Cotto gets stopped in round 1. I won't watch.
The invisible man wanted too much, so cotto took the next best thing... Kirkland...

They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

Damn that's sad. I would actually still ppv a good cotto fight but Kirkland, hell no. You never know who's going to show up at a Kirkland fight. They must have done the numbers and figure they could make money on the fight but this is at best a showtime fight and in reality a nicely dressed network fight but not a match up I would pay for. Cotto should retire, Kirkland as well for that matter he's taken too many shots but I think cotto will win this...smh
I just want to know how Cotto is still ranked 4th by Ring in a stacked 154? I mean I know how but how. Kirkland was a full frontal force but burned out quick. Ron had it and frankly he's a guy now brought in to make a guy look devastating, almost a Mayorga role but Mayorga was a better fighter and actually punch resistance. Not knocking him for riding a rep but he peaked at Angulo and I can't get beyond listening to him try to form sentences after Canelo punched him numb. Knocks on Cotto really, either piss or get off the pot and again he looks to reset in a showcase. Anyone in their right mind think he runs with the Charlo we saw Saturday
It's just a payday to guarantee Cotto sees at least one more for himself.
He's a big puncher and extremely aggressive. If Ricardo Torres can hurt you early then so can Kirkland.Obviously, Cotto is a heavy favorite and I'd pick him to stop Kirkland, but James is dangerous early.Ermosole Albert was a good fighter with reportedly 500 amateur fights and Kirkland ran over him in a round.Brian Vera went the distance and beat a huge Chavez Jr at middle, but was tortured and stopped by Kirkland. He is powerful and dangerous early.
Apparently cotto is contracted to make 10 million for his last fight on his current contract and they cant make that with a standard hbo fight so it must be ppv :S... Fair enough, cotto is fun to watch, a multi time/weigth world champion and a great fighter... but against kirkland, both of these fellows were beaten by canelo in their last fight :S.......
