    Very tight. They are both rightly something like 30-1 underdogs.

    I mean Cotto's chin is P4P not nearly as tough as Kelly's and as Jennings and Rubio have only a punchers chance then probably Jenning's has the best chance.

    Although Rubio has come up the hard way, working his way towards a title shot, travelling around, beating fair competition. He will be hungry, unlike Jenning's who was handed the shot out of thin air and probably felt like asking Cotto for his autograph when he first met him...

    So, it's about even I'd say...

      Since I have seen Rubio fight and he has never impressed me I would have to go with the unknown Jennings. Rubio proven to not be top class (he has fought better competition though), and while I suspect Jenning is not that good either he has yet to prove to me (since I have never really seen him fight) right.

      So I give Jennings the better shot at an upset. Also I think Cotto got beat up worse by Margarito (who knows about the wraps used in the fight either), then Pavlik did against B-Hop although Pavlik may have more mental damage (not a brain injury, just doubts and over thinking things).

        I have seen only one Jennings fight (against Takaloo) and it wasn't enough for me to evaluate him. But he didn't look bad...

        I've seen a couple of Rubio's fights and it was enough for me to see he has no chance whatsoever of beating Pavlik.

          I do not think I could bet on either even at 30 to 1, that is pretty terrible because I normally look for big underdogs.

            jennings has the better chance at the upset. cotto quit and was broken by margarito an unskilled brawler.

            pavlik got taught a lesson by a future HOFer, and former p4p #1 and current p4p #2 fighter.

                I definitely think Rubio.

                Rubio is a puncher, so he has a puncher's chance.

                Jennings isn't a puncher, and Cotto is a better boxer than Pavlik.

                Considering Cotto is a better fighter than Pavlik and Rubio is better than Jennings, I'd say it's pretty clear that Rubio has a better shot.

                  Rubio is fighting a guy with glaring obvious flaws, it's extremely doubtful he can expose them but at least he has something to work with, Jennings isn't even top 5 WW in the UK, god knows who he got a shot in the first place, but Cotto's flaws are minor and unlikely to be put under threat by such a comparitively poor fighter.
