A tentative deal reached for Cotto-Michael Jennings

[Memphis]

Jennings is a decent fighter but he always looks so frail to me. Of course I'll be hoping for a miracle but Jennings is going to get bashed up good and proper. This could be ugly.

[Fenster]

Jennings could do well early.. constantly on his toes, bouncing in and out, he might make Cotto look a bit pedestrian.

Before Cotto inevitably outclasses - and duffs him up.

This will be a Brian Hughes waving it off job.

I think it will be competitive till Jennings takes a clean power shot either a body or to the head shot then he goes into survival mode till Cotto gets the job done.

Jennings was on Buncey's boxing hour yesterday talking about this one, and saying the fights nailed on now.

At least he was talking the talk, saying that some of the British fighters getting title shots recently, Gary Lockett the one getting named, had gone out with the attitude that they were certainly going to lose. He was going out to face Cotto and was going to win. He also said he doesn't read what's written about him online about this fight, otherwise he wouldn't leave the house ever again if he's going to get the pasting some people say he is.

[Memphis]

Fair play to him. He's gonna get a pasting but fair play

[HattonTheHammer]

why is it whenever you yanks decide to beat up a second rate fighter you choose a brit??

[Bomp]

Last time I checked Cotto was no yank. Anyway, I hope he does do himself justice, and he's right about Lockett's state of mind for the fight.
