    Furthermore I think this will prove the final test on Cotto's chin at Welter. I feel this fight will finally determine how much it's improved since Light Welter.

    I'm also thinking about that cut inside the mouth.
    Gomez isn't a big puncher but his boxing has improved 10 fold in his last few fights... I'm not a Gomez fan but I like watching him fight and as we've seen, Gomez makes the best of the chances afforded him. He will damage Cotto... No dobt in my mind. But as the water gets deeper Cotto will assert himself as the better fighter. Gomez will attempt a lot of infighting once he sees how fast Cotto's jab is (it's decieving). Cotto will attempt to keep distance and outbox him down the stretch. There will be no KO. Majority decision Cotto
    Thats a nice prediction and a distinct possibility.
    I see it similar.

    Early Gomez wades into battle. Hooks, uppercuts and right hands are thrown stinging Cotto and marking him up.
    Cott, starting relatively slowly, pounds the body early, mixing the jab occasionally. Gomez takes the first three stanzas.

    As the fight draws into the middle stages the fight draws on the inside and competitive rounds see Gomez being surprisingly succesful.

    However the pace is high and as time wears on Cotto lands more frequently, the jab and hook beginning to thud on Gomez's right side.
    I see Gomez wishing he hadn't started so enthusiatically, searching for ebergy as Cotto's calculated assault continues, with a body shot stopping Gomez in the 11th approximately.
    Hmmm... Quite the possibility. Nomatter what, I see an extremely entertaining fight. Gomez has always been an entertaining fighter who is not afraid to trade. I don't think Cotto intimidates him at all. I think Gomez will surprise a lot of people. People seem to forget what a decent boxer he has progressed into. He has some definite skill. It won't be a shutout to all of the Cotto superfans. It will be a highly competetive fight with Cotto coming out on top. I will be rooting for Gomez as I love underdogs. Cotto will just be to skilled, though.

    It's like Roy Keane once said, for the small clubs, to play against Man Utd is the biggest day of their lives, their 15 minutes of fame. So as a result even the smallest club can become Real Madrid for a day.

    Stepping up to the world title stage, Gomez could do surprising things.
