Nobody giving Gomez a chance.

[Puya]

I see like this , Gomez has only 2 chances to win this fight and be crowned champion.-

1. None
2. And none wot so ever

Its that simple

Arum said to himself: "THis kid will kill my small piggy bank$ (Chavez Jr.) so fuck it let me just put him with Cotto and take him out of the picture"..

Cotto will win but I hope it is an entertaining fight. Styles make fights and this should be another entertaining Cotto fight.

[GAME]

Gomez may last afew rounds longer than most people think cuz he is use to fighting naturally bigger men .

Whether it goes 12 or late stoppage , bottom line is Cotto wins .

[Macho]

Yea , sure , i will give Gomez a chance to not be KO , if he outbox , against Cottos pressure in all 12 rounds ..........

[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.

[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.

Interesting thing is that ODLH facing someone that doesn't have a chance is the worst thing ever but Cotto facing a guy that doesn't have a chance instead of a bigger name is COMPLETELY ACCEPTABLE, go figure.

I actually thought about the same thing. I don't think people have a problem with Forbes-DLH so much as they do DLH-PBF and in order for the latter not to happen, they need De La Hoya to lose which Forbes probably isn't going to make happen. Because no one can honestly complain about De La Hoya's choice of opponents, he has the best resume of the last 15 years.

Man I stand corrected big time..... Cotto put an inhumane beating on Gomez... Seriously I be suprised if he didnt ruin Gomez career
