    To the body or the head?
    I can't predict fights, I mean if Gomez comes out on his feet, I can only imagine him being able to keep any success he has for a few rounds. And thats just assuming he comes out focused at the first bell. But if I had to choose, I'ma give my boy Gomez some credit, I see him gettin stopped after 4. As for how? lol **** pick any punch you want, Cotto can take him down with just about anything I'd think.

      i think cotto will take the night off and just
      do enough to win with flashes of skill here and there.
      gomez has nothing to loose here,he's happy as a warm
      enchilada for getting the chance, and think he will bring his "a" game which is equal to cotto's "b-" game i.e. corly fight!

        Miguel Cotto is very much like a robot. He has several subroutines that he goes through one at a time.

        This is how it looks from Cotto's perspective.

        Objective #1: Destroy the body...... accessing

        Destroying the body.......objective failed.

        Objective #2: Destroy the head...... accessing

        Destroying the head....... objective failed.

        Objective #3: Stick and move..... accessing

        Sticking and moving....... objective complete.

        Picture that in green text scrolling across Cotto's vision.

            Ok, I was only wondering because Cotto hasn't demonstrated excessive levels of power to the head. And of course Gomez has a very good chin.

            But this is Boxing, anything is possible.


            I could definately see a body shot KO early though..

              God I hope so. That would be great as far as I'm concerned.

                  Yeah, Gomez will be game, I know he will. I just think Cotto's power will prove to be too much. I could see some early body shots leading to that drastic outcome that you see in alot of Miguel fights.

                  Yeah anything is possible, I mean I'll **** limestone if Gomez just comes out and avoids punishment and is able to apply his own effectively. I can actually see that early, but its hard to imagine him bein able to do it for 12. But if he can, lol wow, good for him if he can pull it off.

                    I find this matchup fascinating if only for that reason. Cotto has a reputation as a destroyer, whether it be the "body" or elsewhere. Gomez is supposed to be a tough **** who has already danced with guys naturally much bigger than he.. If Cotto can KO Gomez in a show of raw power, it will be another feather in his cap. That's for damn sure.

                    Shane Mosley has never been knocked out before. Never. We're talking all the way back to first grade on a playground.. No human being has ever knocked out Shane Mosley, and yet, a healthy number of people including some "experts" thought Cotto could do it.. Now Cotto is facing another guy who has never been knocked out, and people think he can do it..

                    Cotto looks the part certainly, but does he really have actual power?

                    Why are guys always taking a knee?

                    Why isn't he knocking them out clean?


                    I think the answer is obvious..
