Barrera - Pac I. I'm telling you guys right now, Pac will fluster and frustrate Cotto as he did Barrera back in 2003. Pac kept Barrera off-balance all night long and peppered him with punch after punch. By the 7th round, Barrera was tired and frustrated ending in a TKO in the 11th round.
I want to go on record today as saying this is exactly what is going to happen on Saturday.
As many here know, I'm a huge Cotto fan (anyone with a search button can see I'm a Cotto guy). I was born and raised in PR and will always support the PR fighters. But, in this case, while I'm rooting for Cotto, my money is on Pac. I've been watching boxing my entire life so I'm not an idiot. I know Cotto has a real chance of winning this fight if he uses his jab A LOT and is able to give Pac some lateral movement, but it just isn't Cotto's style. Maybe he'll pull a Barrera (think Barrera vs. Hamed) and surprise us all with a totally different style, but I give him a 20% chance in this fight and believe he loses by KO/TKO.
