Nobody giving Gomez a chance.

[JT Rock]

Cant believe the size difference, Gomez is a big boy and is tough. The guy can absorb some big time punishment curious to see how Cotto reacts if he cant impose his will like he does customarily

[JT Rock]

Cotto looks pretty damn mean and inshape as usual we are gonna be in for a good treat tonite with both fights

[:::PSL:::]

Gomez is going down from a kidney punch.

I think Cotto will win but I put $40 on Gomez because the odds were so bad for him. I bet him to win at +850, so if he wins that $40 will go a long way haha.

I figure it will be a tougher fight than people expect, Gomez is the biggest man like everyone said, he is extremely durable and has a ton of heart. He's not someone who is going to fold up mentally like Zab Judah when Cotto pressures him. I'm looking forward to this one, I think it will be a lot better and more compeditive than people expect!

[Gandalf]

Im with the consensus that Cotto should win albeit with it being trickier than initially anticipated.

[OumaFan]

Anybody see how uncomfortable Gomez looked against Ben Tackie's pressure?

He'll fight hard but he has no advantages outside of maybe size (but not power), chin and maybe heart although I have no reason to question Cotto's heart.

[OumaFan]

Or how Gomez looked against Feliciano?

I'm talking to myself now

Cotto will look great tonight. Like most of us I was wrong on Diaz-Campbell but Campbell's a different level of fighter than Gomez. Just don't see it happening tonight.
