Cotto - Mayorga Fight Thread

[Spicoli]

Gotta go with Cotto. They say skill beats will and Cotto on his worst day is miles ahead of Mayorga in skill and for that matter will...Mayorga has become accustomed to losing the big ones and playing his role to a tee. Been there-done that and just spell my name right on the check Mr. Arum

Mayorgas only chance is to blitz him early. He has to shoot his load and know Cotto himself is boardering on spent shell status. Make him see ghosts. He's big, very physical and just don't give a fook but you really don't get to Cotto early, ya have to last and wear him out. Mayorga don't have the stamina or focus late.

They say skill beats will.

So Mayorga was more skillfull than Forrest and Vargas?

Nah will and freshness was there 8 yrs and 4-5 losses ago. He did well...gave Forrest the 2nd go. I would say he was more skilled, for what thats worth, then a shot to pieces bloated Vargas who looked more Odlandier Solis.

I'm not sure what to make of this one. I have a feeling that I'm about to pay good money for a two round blow out. I doubt I'll order it. Afterall, I can watch Martinez-Dzinziruk for free.

Who can take Mayorga seriously at this point? He could win, but it would be a travesty if he did.

A travesty ?

It would be a triumph.

It would be a delightful result and a real kick to the teeth of the establishment. Mayorga is old school like Johnny Rotten used to be. Nothing could thrill me more than to see an old underdog do a number on Cotto. And that is in no way being disrespectful to Cotto who I like a lot, but you have to support one of the fighters, you can't go looking for a simultaneous knockout or a draw. I'm always a sucker for the underdog and I've always liked Mayorga. Such a fun fighter and it is for those basic reasons that I want him to at least do well.

A travesty. Mayorga is a ridiculous now-and-again fighter who would do nothing to further the boxing scene. Cotto has delt with being punched in the face by a brick fisted cheater and needs this win to carry on.

BUT if it's true that Mayorga is only getting $50,000 I hope he wins just to spite the greedy bastards.

Mayorga is a great champion who was SCREWED against Spinks and set on the path of becoming a "special attraction".

May the best man win.

And did you mean 500,000 ? I could believe that but NOT 50 grand.

[No Contest]

50k are you serious? Well he trained hard so he must have some confidence in landing the pac fight to make some real money after this. They both are getting ripped if you ask me. This fight should sell pretty well.
