    Any chance of Delvin pulling an upset? I think Miggy will win, but not as easily as some expect. In his prime, he'd wipe his ass with a guy like Rodriguez, but at this point I think Delvin gives him a tough fight, but Cotto still wins. Probably wins. If Rodriguez pulled an upset, it wouldn't be the biggest shocker of all time.

    Even though the best lightweight in the world, and possible future P4P prospect is on the undercard?

    Cotto UD is a Safe Pick...

    Based on SKILLSET, Cotto Should STOP Rodriguez, but he has a Knack for Making Fights HARDER than They Should B...Rodriguez is BALLSY, but that's about It...He ISN'T Skilled Enough to Outbox Cotto, ala, Trout & Floyd...He's Also NOT a Banger, so Stopping Cotto is All but OUT of the Question...

    Rodriguez WILL have Some Moments, but Cotto Wins an 8-ish UD...

    I don't know much about Rodriguez but I do know Cotto didnt look good in his last fight. Miguel has had allot of hard fights. One has to wonder how much wear and tear he has at this point. I guess we will all find out come Saturday. Cotto SHOULD win but at this stage of his career you never know. I agree X if Rodriguez pulls a upset it wouldnt be much of a shocker. I'm interested to see the adjustments Roach is able to bring out of Cotto. My understanding is he want's Cotto to being back the left hook to the body that was soo effective early in Miguel's career.

    It should be a good action fight with Cotto winning a hard fought decision.

    He's going to go back to boxing a bit more, using his legs and setting a manageable pace and picking his shots up and down.

    I agree as well that his left hook underneath is going to be his anchor punch once again.

    Cotto should win but I really wanna see Terence Crawford. I think he's got the tools to be a pound 4 pounder.

    Cotto's left hook will be the key weapon.

    Cotto late TKO or UD.
