Will I pay for it? No. I wasn't planning on it either, but I'm Nica. Some family members will be coming to watch it and my uncle will buy it.
My girl is Nicaraguense too... Personally, she hates Mayorga. I won't buy the fight but I will watch it at a party with her family. Half of them love the guy and half of them think he's too arrogant for his own good...
I wish they had to TV's so we could watch the Martinez fight too.. Guess I'll be DVRing that one.
He's a huge dude.
My book doesn't have the odds for that fight though. Just the cotto ones are up right.
I'd throw something on my boy Pawel Wolak if they had it.
A new and improved Cotto? I'm sure you will get that. I know this is a common comment lately, but I'm not sure he has that passion anymore...
If Mayorga is as conditioned as he said he is in the press conference then I think he could hang and open up a cut on Cotto. Not sure you're giving Mayorga's ferocity enough credit.
Oh no, Mayorga's a beast there's no doubt, but he's also very inconsistant. I honestly thought this was a great fight to see just where Cotto is as a fighter at this stage of his career.
If he can stay calm and box Mayorga then he could get him out of there in the later rounds.
If he hasn't improved much or at all and Mayorga is able to get to him Cotto will have some trouble, even worse if he comes looking for a KO early.
Think the all the trash talk will have Cotto coming out swinging? A few weeks ago, I would have said "not a chance in hell" but I really think Mayorga's gotten to him. He might try to get to him early, which could seriously backfire.
Better fight than I think most people are saying.
Real question is: Will you pay for it? I bet Cotto still does good numbers...
cotto has the edge in every single department
stamina
jab
power
speed
mayorga's finished
Definitely think that Mayorga has the advantage on power. Cotto's power isn't what it was = truth.
