    Bigger Mis-match Cotto/Gomes or Dlh/Forbes

    It's cool to take a tune up but why not take a fight that will bring a little something out of you? Don't these guys spar doing camp why do they have to have a glorified sparring match after camp?? Talk about being scared too lose. these two fights have to be some of the biggest mis-matches in quite some time. It's unapealing and not even worth watching. It does give the opponent a chance to win and the chance to say they fought so and so but in they end they end up getting embarrased wishing they never took the fight. DLH might let it go 12 rounds just to get the conditioning in but dlh could end this fight whenever he wants.

      Cause u get paid for glorified sparring matches.

      And I think COTTO-GOMEZ was the far bigger mismatch. I think Forbes might have a shot

          at least gomez/cotto were the same size! DLH is going to look like he's beating up a bloated little kid that night.

              Cotto-Gomez

              I actually think Forbes will make something of the fight. Forbes is a proven champion.

                  Forbes is also a notoriously light puncher jumping up two weight classes from whats not even his best weight, just his natural weight at this time. It'd be like Cotto fighting a Lightweight contender at a catchweight of 145.

                    Given that Cotto is at his absolute peak and that DLH is pretty far past his prime (not that he's anything but borderline great still though), and that at his best Two Pounds was a quality titleholder who never really lost his belt and at his best Gomez is a contender quality fighter, eh... Despite the size issues, I really think Cotto/Gomez was a bigger mismatch. I honestly think Forbes will only get decisioned.
