    I'm picking Paulie by UD. I may very well end up eating my words though I believe this kid. Usually when someone is calling out the other guy for a long time, it's for a reason. Manny was calling out Barrera while he was campaigning in the 122lbs division for awhile. When he finally got him, look what happened. Some people believe their style can defeat the others and in this case, Paulie really believes his fast hands and boxing skills will be too much for Cotto. Expect Paulie to never trade with Cotto or stand still. He's going to dance around Cotto shooting the jab nonstop, and when he feels right, he'll leap in and unleash a combination and get out before he's in harms way. He fully understands what he's up against from the interviews. He's been reminded a hundred times that Cotto is most likely going to walk right through him since he has no KO power. He's got this already taken into account and he is a smart fighter whether you like him or not. I'm Puerto Rican and I'd love to see Cotto win this to further advance his career so he could get into more exciting brawls against top level competition, though I'm picking Paulie to upset him just based on his style. Cotto may come out without a scratch, though he'll have been hit over 200 times without landing many shots. That's a possiblity.

      I see a Cotto/Corley II. Cotto blows up nearly 20 pounds and throws Paulie around. I only saw Paulie fight once like three years ago which I barely remember. So I cant say for sure. Im downloading one of his now.

        i odnt think anyone doubts that paulie can outbox cotto, the real question is whether or not cotto will let that happen. if cotto can cut of the ring and get inside and work paulies body, cotto wins. if paulie is being his usualy self and dancing around the ring popping jabs, paulie wins.

              Yes Paulie can outbox Cotto, but the question is can he take Cotto's power?

                cotto cuts the ring off, works the body, stalks paulie down, and gets the KO or TKO, whatever, he is going to stop paulie. but if he doesn't it's because paulie is going to be on his bike the whole night long.

                it's suicide for paulie to think he can stand and trade with cotto. and all this business that malignaggi has been talking about going for the KO, thats the biggest joke and piece of hype i've ever heard.

                don't believe the hype when it comes to malignaggi, it's just going to mess with your head and make you feel embarrassed after he loses...
