    A little report from ESPN's FNF:

    They're expecting Martinez to weigh as much as 15 lbs more than Cotto tomorrow. (No surprise.)

    They showed a great promo for the fight, too.

    But I have some bad news for Cotto fans: Teddy picked Miguel to win. lol

      The curse is in effect, Cotto and his team should just forfeit while they still have time.

          I'm not even a superstitious guy; but if I were a Cotto fan, I'd have thrown my hands up in disgust when I heard that shit. lol

              Cottos getting hurt bad. He brings nothing to the table that Martinez hasn't been able to handle. On top of that Martinez has been fighting heavier handed punchers that Cotto can't match. The only thing Cotto has is experience and a better boxer all around but Martinez size well nullify it all

                I don't know man something tells me Martinez chin is suspect. Sure he fought some big middleweights but their power wasn't that good. I think Cotto will land some solid combinations that will hurt Martinez.

                There is a reason why Martinez is only a 2-1 favorite.

                  I'm not sure if it's still around but I remember watching a video of the Cotto/Margarito 2 Los Angles press conference where Ellie Secbach asked Cotto if he'd consider fighting Martinez.

                  Cotto: "you think Sergio Martinez is going to help make me money?"

                  He then proceeded to laugh and then everyone else started laughing and he pretty much made Secbach look like an idiot

                    Its got to do more with the injuries than anything. I like both fighters so may the best man win, but the weight disparity is too much and I don't want to see Cotto get severely hurt.
