lopsided?
i rmbr going into kovalev hopkins, cotto martinez, it was pretty even, but both turned out to be 1 sided.
IF this goes one sided, which side do you think itll be?
Most of the stuff I read before the Hopkins/Kovalev fight had Kovalev winning pretty easily.
And if people knew that Sergio Martinez couldn't even run during training the fight would not have been predicted to be as close. It was clear after the fight that Sergio was not fully healthy going in.
I expect an action fight. Both guys are not afraid to mix it up. I fully expect Cotto to be on that bicycle in the later rounds after he eats a few big shots. I would love to see a knockout but more and more i am leaning toward Canelo by decision.

I think it will be as one-sided as the Froch/Bute and the Cotto/Martinez fights. I think Cotto will slap Alvarez around for five or six rounds and then KO him.
I think, after the fight, Canelo will do something he should have done a long time ago that a lot of fighters do after a major loss -- he will blame the loss on his trainer and change trainers. It won't make him any better, but he thinks it will.
I think if Cotto's strategy is to stick and move, then he can outbox Canelo. If he does that well enough he can possibly make Canelo look bad enough to get the decision. If he decides to stay in the pocket and have a shoot out. Canelo can make Cotto suffer. I think this fight is all about who is better prepared mentally to stick with their game plan. Oh and the judges have to be on their best behavior.
I'm predicting a Canelo victory either a stoppage or decision but it won't be one sided.
Cotto will have his moments and might stun Canelo with that left hook but won't put him down. On the other hand, Canelo will put him down.
If Cotto manage to backpedal the last few rounds, he lose a decision otherwise Canelo by TKO.
I think it will be one sided and Canelo will win all the rounds and knock him out. If you don't agree that's fine but that is the way I think the fight will go. I am just giving my honest answer to the thread's question.
it should be pretty competitive...i expect both to have their moments early in the fight
then i expect both to gas out at the same time around the 7th round
It's crazy how Cotto is like 35 and Nelo is 25.
I'm sold on the fact that I think Canelo is going to take it right to Cotto, I expect it playing out in the fashion that Canelo will fight smart from the early rounds conserve his energy, I expect Cotto to be predictable trying to fight cautiously but Canelo will be catching him with hard shots regardless because Cotto unlike Lara and Trout is not that hard to find and hit.
I'm going with Canelo KO/TKO late rounds when the diva starts to tire, no reason for Canelo to lose to such an overrated type of fighter and we can only really hope for Canelo to win because he is the only one who would be man enough to take that WBC MW title and defend it like a true champion and not a ***** like Cotto ducking GGG.
