Could be the third time in a row that Brook quits in a fight but Cotto is past it enough that he might be able to survive. I remember Cotto was accurately targeting Margarito's eye in the rematch, if he does that anywhere near effectively against Brook then Brook quits again for sure.
Boxing Scene top headlines is right on top of stuff like this and accurate. When I read about this fight on Boxing Scene top headlines I will believe it's happening but not until then. If the fight does happen I think Cotto will win by KO.
Did Cotto look that bad vs that Asian cat he fought a couple weeks back? Still haven't gotten around to watching that fight.
I like Cotto's chances here personally.
I would like to see this fight. Shame that we never saw Cotto vs Khan, Cotto vs Bradley or Cotto vs Marquez, would have been cool fights years ago
Cotto looked decent in his last fight. Great heart and amazing chin for Kamegai... But I thought Cotto looked slower than usual
IF this is true then it's a really good and interesting fight. Cotto will earn a fortune here in England because it will do big PPV numbers. I don't know who would win but I would lean very slightly towards cotto.
He's the real life bionic face man.
If Cotto is on the table or straight legit I'd recommend a lighter punching opponent for Kell if I had any say with him. I'm the first guy complaining when guys take soft touches, but if any guy needs an easy touch its a guy with 2 L's in a row who's broken half his face back to back. Ffs tempt Paulie outta retirement or something. Talk McGregor into a UK superfight that a bunch of Irish cats could actually afford & not have to travel THAT far to see. Don't give Cotto a call.
Cotto can't fuck up titanium eyes though it'd be ok.
aside from rematching canelo the brook fight makes the best financial sense since you are bringing in two major food chains. thats why canelo fought 2 british dudes,a puerto rican,and mexican his last 4 fight$.

I didn't catch Cotto's last one either to be honest but I like Brook and just think Cotto is getting a little too old to be in the game.
He handed a lot of leather and had good energy for an old dog in the game, he smashed Kamegai with everything but the kitchen sink and took a lot of shots in return. I was wondering if Kamegai was going to wear him down and have a chance stop him as fight drew out, but Kamegai didn't have the power to trouble Cotto, whose stamina over 12 was impressive.
The fight had shades of Cotto-Margarito in that Kamegai is a FREAK OF NATURE. Dude cannot be hurt! I know Cotto was in there thinking "What the fuck." Dude just kept coming, it was pretty awesome.
Yep. And I'd think 154 would actually benefit Brook. He's too delusional to let those last two beatings put him in a bad spot mentally, too.
