Nobody giving Gomez a chance.

[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.

[Beanflicker]

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.

Yeah I think the same. I didn't think Gomez would even beat Gatti but it happened that Gatti was absolutely shot to pieces. Gomez at the very best is a fringe contender and he's probably not even that. Like you said, a lot of people point to the upsets of Diaz and Lee, but Lee wasn't in the least bit proven and Nate Campbell is a quality fighter. Just don't think the same of Gomez, I think he's going to look extremely slow and outclassed tonight.
