The Official Miguel Cotto-Delvin Rodriguez RBR & Discussion Thread

[Dat]

Cotto by late round TKO.

[Hougigo]

Undercard:

LW Terence Crawford vs Andrey Klimov
FW Jayson Velez vs Dat Nguyen
LMW Jorge Melendez vs Jamaal Davis
WW Clarence Booth vs Xavier Burgos
SFW Felix Verdejo vs Gary Ever
MW Moises Carasquillo Jr vs Steven Chadwick
SBW Ricky Tomlinson vs Lamar Charlton

Klimov?
Not a bad opponent IMO.
He just outclassed Molina on FNF this year

Should be a good fight Delvin has some decent skills he struggled against Trout but Cotto isn't nearly as fast and more set so there could end up being some nice exchanges , one factor that might come up is Delvin has a tendancy to cut guys with how he angles his punches and Cotto marks up fairly easy beware: there could be blood Cotto is the better overall fighter who deserves to be favored

Good post...

I think Delvin will make it a competitive fight especially if he manages to cut Cotto (which is not a farfetched scenario). His size, speed, durability, stamina, and experience will give him an opportunity to make some noise, but Cotto should be able to handle whatever he's able to mount. Cotto's power at 154 is respectable, but unless he returns to pre-Mosley Cotto by mounting a dedicated body attack and grinding, he will not stop Rodriguez.

Cotto by 116-112 Decision...

Steve Kim on his Next Round podcast today once again said that he heard from multiple sources that this Delvin Rodriguez fight is just one of a multi-fight deal with HBO so a Canelo fight won't happen.

Honestly, I think Cotto's people are just lying about being a free agent to save face.

Is there any promotion at all for this fight?

If so, that means:

1) Marquez/Bradley winner
2) Martinez
3) Vanes if he wins WBO title (Is Andrade Top Rank?)

A multi-fight deal with HBO still means he's a free-agent. He's not tied to Top Rank. They can still offer Canelo a shot if GBP would entertain it.

Either way, who cares.

@HBO, there are alot of cool matchups he can get into

JMM/Bradley winner
Maravilla
Provodnikov/Alvarado winner
Pacman/Rios winner (who cares what Roach says, $$ talks)
King Molina

So really, who cares solely about a Canelo fight. I might its a good fight, but it's not that serious. It's not even a legacy fight anymore after his Floyd fight.

Please no
