BoxingScene Staff Predictions: Cotto vs. Malignaggi

[Super_Lightweight]

Just as many were picking Cotto as Paulie. Still, that is surprising how many people are going with Paulie to win this.

I was thinking Paulie might win but after seeing more of his clips I'm pretty sure Cotto will get him.

[jabsRstiff]

Just proves how strong this matchup actually is, from a style standpoint.
Cotto has been destroying a much higher level of foe than Paulie has merely been outpointing.
This would leave you to believe Miguel mops the floor with him. I suspect Cotto does so, but can still envision Paulie outboxing Cotto over 12 rds.

I guess its up to Cotto to prove his worth. I dont think there are many big fights out there that Cotto isnt a boxing underdog in. Like say, the ones in my sig

Paulie has alot of skill, and thats why this fight is a tuff one, because he can box. I think he could give a lot of fighters tuff fights.

I haven't seen Malignaggi so I can't really predict the outcome of this fight, but he must have some movement to stay away from Cotto for 12 rounds.

I hope Cotto brutally KOs him, hopefully a left hook to the body that leaves him writhing around on the floor, smearing mascara all over the ring.

i literally burst out laughing when i read that

Don't tell me you folks are shocked. Especially Rick and Ron.

Ron made a pretty bold prediction,out of nothing really.

Rick just thinks cotto is overrated and has for some time.

Yeah I know.

The reason I questioned those picks....is because they're normally on cue. I read staff predictions, and this one was a F grade.

I'm anything but a fight picking Guru myself. I think I'm about .600 for my entire career picking fights.

Yeah, it sucks that your going to be totally wrong again this weekend...

[ProBox1]

My comment proved true in the fight, although I picked the wrong winner.

I like the style and speed of Malignaggi in the early part of the fight, and Cotto's strength and experience down the stretch.

[Easy-E]

I would like to see these two meet down the road, when paulie has more seasoning.
