    Loud Ibella claimed on 24-7 that martinez is the greatest and most talented boxer he's promoted. not so subtle shot at hopkins

    Martinez stops Cotto by or before the 9 round.

    I agree to an extent. Sergio is a good fighter but fortunate that the division is poor. Him being ranked near the top of the p4p rankings in recent years pretty much reflects the talent pool in this era, he was #3 p4p...in the early 90s, he wouldn't even be top 3 at MW.

    I guess I'd go with Martinez in the late rounds.

    Not sure how much he has left, or even Cotto for that matter (particularly at MW).

    Watson took Benn to school. Benn landed a couple of nice shots, but for the most part, caught glove and air and Watson was WAY more accurate with his straight punches.

    In a way, it was a more one-sided version of Ali-Foreman (and even then, Foreman wasn't even winning before he tired) with less work on the ropes. A slugger throwing wild haymakers that mostly missed and getting caught repeatedly down the middle.

    Watson Benn was a great fight, furious pace. Benn was the most exciting Brit fighter ever probably.

    I'm tempted to do the same. Apart from the Trout fight, Cotto has looked pretty good recently. A far cry from the supposed shotness he's allegedly exhibited since all the back after the first Plasterito fight.

    Martinez is old, has been injured etc, and the size difference looks much less than I expected in press conference photos.

    Something interesting about Cotto, is for a supposed non puncher at 147 and 154, all his wins since fighting Pacquiao have come via stoppage.

    Canelo Angulo did 'over 350,000'

    I'll say fewer than that. Not only is it a shit main event, the undercard is laughably terrible for a ppv.

    The main event is compelling and is drawing a lot of interest

    600k. But this is sold as cotto moving up in weight and going for that 4th title.

    Regardless of Floyd vs. Canelo PPV numbers Cotto is still a bigger name than Canelo....

    My official prediction is Sergio will knock cotto out in the 6th
    But he will drop and hurt cotto within the first two rounds

    Sergio is faster than cotto, not just handspeed, all around, faster feet etc.
    he is bigger than cotto
    He hits harder than cotto

    Even imagine cotto in there with Paul Williams or pavlik.

    Really Sergio "should" steam roll cotto but the variable IMO is Sergio being injured or not..

    If his leg is still bothering him or his left hand
    That might make a difference
    For what I hear he is barely sparring at all

    Cotto is looking fantastic in training. They got the right game plan in mind. They are going to try and break Martinez Will and Kill the body. The problem is if Martinez has 1 more performance left in him I cant see Cotto winning. If however Martinez is not 100% Cotto will have a real chance to make history.

    Hopefully Cotto stays with the "kill the body" gameplan...he seems to quit halfway thru many of his gameplans even when they are working...Cotto needs to stay on top of Martinez....stay in his chest...or far away..and be careful coming in...don't get hit by those leaping counters...

    Agreed. I also think that's Cotto's best chance.
