I actually think it will go to decision. I would hope the decision is fair either way but if it were to go to the scorecards then I would probably think Pacquiao would win; objectively as he has a higher work rate and would win early rounds and then as Cotto's stamina wanes (if it does) the later ones.
But also Pac Vs Mayweather has too much riding on it, too much money and interest in this fight for a Cotto win. But I think the decision will be fair, or I hope at least.
You think?? Even if WE ALL think cotto has won 7-5 rounds or 8-4, pacman gets the decision. Go ask Marquez after 2nd fight what he thinks.
Not really because of that but because I think Cotto will lose the early rounds and probably lose the late rounds as well.
There is A lot of talk of who will stop who. If this fight does NOT end by stoppage then who has an advantage?
My prediction is firm and final.. Pac UD
I think Pacquiao would win if it goes to the cards.

My thing is I don't know if Manny can effectively Make adjustments Late. I think cotto can
"I need to go to school for every opponent. I consider myself a student of the sport now, not just a fighter. Cotto's size and power need to be respected but I will leverage his size against him. We have numerous plans to do this depending on the style of fight he presents us on fight night. We have advantages, knowing how to use them is even more crucial"- Pacquiao on his fight tonight.
I think they are gonna be prepared and I think that Cotto has been doing the same thing he always does, working hard in the gym. I see Pac winning nearly every rd after rd 8 if it goes to the cards but I see a war all night long- prolly won't make it to the cards.

An elite WW has no business getting in a close fight w/ a former 106 lber
There are 3 possible outcomes to this fight.
1)Pac by stoppage
2)Pac by decision
3)Cotto by stoppage
There is no way in hell Cotto is winning this fight on points.
I agree.......Cotto must end it and not let the judges decide the outcome.......
I'm pulling for Cotto but if it goes to scorecards, cotto just needs to leave because he is not winning a decision.
1. It's Las Vegas
2. Too much is riding on Pacquiao vs Floyd
3. Pacquiao is Arum's boy toy
That's why if rounds are close, pacquiao is getting them. Miguel needs to win rounds but not close or by tko.
that's easy if it goes to the scorecards it favours pac, he has the speed to dominate and make cotto keep turning all night, i think cotto really has hurt pac to really make him come of his gameplan.
There's only going to be one winner on the scorecards IMO and that's Pacquiao! Cotto needs get the KO or Stoppage, i cant see him outworking Pacquaio for 12 rounds, that's just not happening!
