He picked Sergio to win.

Here are some other who picked martinez to win:

wow, im surprised so many people are picking cotto.

I got Martinez by KO or ref/Roach stops it in the 8th. Once Martinez catches Cotto flush with a solid shot then it's lights out for Cotto. Cotto has problems with physically bigger fighters.

Martinez will catch him and then it's over !! All down hill from there for Cotto...

This fight is such a joke.A 39 year old martinez will outbox cotto and KO him in the 9th sending alot of unhappy puerto ricans home.Martinez has never gotten respect in the fight game

Everyone who picks Cotto thinks that Martinez body won't hold up. That's the only reason they think Cotto can win this fight. I'm surprised so many people believe Martinez body is pretty much shot. I don't think Martinez would say yes to this match-up unless he felt his body was OK. Martinez by KO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Martinez is ready to give some serious Chingasos to Miguel Cotto! Can't wait! Chingaso time!

How do you almost get KO'ed, and that CW has better power, better stamina and about the same head movement as this Cotto. 11 rounds to 1, don't forget that.

Im tempted to buy this fight just to see Cottos wife crying after he gets brutally beaten

This isn't imaginary P4P fanboying its a real fight with Cotto pretending to be a MW and his power in the division is probably D- while Martinez is A - i'd say. Cotto didn't even have one punch power at 147 people are delusional about this fight.

So size, reach, height, strength and the more damaging power wont matter?
Time will tell, I still think Martinez is due to come back with a **** TKO in the championship round is my call Martinez goes in for the kill unlike Trout vs Cotto this fight will be similiar to that I think only with Martinez landing more damaging shots.

Sergio destroyed Chavez Jr. A guy that weighed 190 on fight night. Where do you get that Cotto will beat him? Sergio is a better boxer and can KO MWs. Trout, a sub par JMW whooped Cottos ass. Where do you dreamers get your ideas?? You are nuts! And I bet you think Garcia is the next Rican Dream. Bwahahahahahaha.

Don't let Delvin Rodriguez fool you into thinking Cotto is the fresher of the 2. Sergio is faster than Cotto, stronger and bigger. Even a 70% Sergio should stop Cotto!!! Cotto is definitely the more wartorn.

Cotto will suffer the KOOTY.Huge mismatch

Cotto gonna get his ass whipped.

would prefer there be no cw.. but 157 is within the middleweight limit. fair game, play ball. geale's a proven professional boxer, he should have no problem making the cw

So you'd be okay with a title fight at 155lb catch weight limit? or a 154.5 limit? That's still under the middleweight limit.

I have no problem with cotto taking his optional but you should admit how bad the optics look on this, especially if the fight is 157.

ok. I saw that but didn't interpret it this way. Cotto essentially needs a 1st or 2nd round KO or else it looks even worse.

I agree here. If both parties are in agreement, all the *****ing in the world will not make a difference.

The only time a catch weight might be OK in a title fight, is if the champion is coming down in weight to accommodate a fighter moving up from a lower weight class. The catch weight is never OK if it is demanded by the champion as a condition for the fight. It should never be to the champion's benefit.

This is wrong. The champion should always try to have the benefit. It's the challenger that needs to make accommodations. If the challenger does not agree to any stipulations, than they can go fight someone else.

These guys are grown man and professionals. They have come to a mutual agreement for a fight. If Geale's team were unwilling, they could have just moved on or continued to negotiate

I find this argument to be ****. It's still bad.

It's obvious the challenger will agree, you do understand that every fighter's dream is to become a world champion? It's a life long dream. Do you really think Geale is gonna say "Nah man, I'm not gonna fight Cotto at 157 even if it is for another shot at the title against a big household name on HBO." ?

It's like giving a hungry man a peace of hard bread. He's gonna take it.
