Which round will Cotto's cut from the Clottey fight open? The cut was so large, it's hard to imagine it not opening if a punch lands in the area IMO. Do you think it will be a significant factor in the fight's outcome? Poll to follow please discuss.

I'd say the same round, the 3rd.

If that cut grows to the same size against a much busier Pacman, don't you see that as a big problem for Cotto? I'd hate for this fight to be decided by a headbutt from a completely different fight, but that could definitely turn out to be the case. Limited vision on Cotto would really add to the effectiveness of Pac's lateral movement.

I do. But Cotto with a sense of urgency against Pac could be bad for Pac.

I picture that cut opening with the same ease that Juan Diaz's cut opened against Malignaggi after it originally being started in the JMM fight. A literal tap or two on the eye and we'll be seeing the doctor take a look prior to round 6. He won't stop the fight but he'll be very tentative of the situation. Fighter's frequently complain of Pac's speed when they have both eyes. With blood running in your eye, that will only make his speed more difficult to cope with. Which could be very important since "speed" is the attribute everyone is hinging their Pac pick on. If I'm Pac, I do my best to open that cut.
