Easily Gomez, but not because he's so much better than Cintron. It's mostly because Cotto's so much better than Margs. Still there's no way to be sure, Gomez could do better than people expect.
Gomez... If Cintron is Getting his Ass Whipped he'll just QUIT AGAIN...Gomez has TONS of Heart, which will Lead to a PROLONGED Beatdown from Cotto... REED
I don't know. Supposedly Kermit has been training at Kronk and has been toughing up so I'm curious to see how he's going to handle Margarito's pressure and power. If he crumbles again he should just quit. Or will he blame it all on Steward?
i can see gomez going down on a body shot and not getting back up. cintron will get beat up a bit then he'll quit again. i doubt he'll escape unscathed.
he was at Krong before the feliciano fight and feliciano showed more heart than him. I don't know why people have high hopes on Cintron. He hasn't done anything but pick up a vacant belt since Margarito beat him down. Now he is facing Margarito again and I don't see any difference. Gomez is better than people think. He is not impressive in one thing. He just does alot of things well. I think he will give Cotto a good tough fight. Cotto should still beat him and stop him late but it will be competitive. Cintron/Margarito will be like the first fight.
Cintron will get beat down worse. The guy hasn't improved at all since the first fight. Shoot, look at the Estrada fight...he seemed like he was about to give up then too.
and he won't quit....so..Cotto will beat the hell out of him for 30 minutes...till the KO comes...or Gomez corner stop the fight..
hmmm....good point. Yeah, when you put it that way I suppose my answer has to be :- Gomez but he'll make a more competitive fight of it. He's one of my favourites out there (underrated skills) but he's just not physically strong enough to contend with Cotto. He'll wilt in the end and it'll most likely be pretty brutal
Cintron won't take a beating..he will quit..he will find a way out of the fight... In the first fight..Margarito was right there..in Cintron's punch range..and Kermit still wasn't able to hurt him or drop him...... Cintron is going in knowing he will lose...and the only hope he has is catching Margarito with a lucky punchl...
The very obvious answer is Gomez. Albumso will take a Tito-Mayorga like beating, and wont be competitve. Cintron might take a late beating as well, but I think he'll be competitive. He even has an outside chance of pulling the upset. Whilst Gomez on the other hand was NO chance whatsoever.
If Gomez gives Cotto any trouble at all, it will be every bit as bad as Cintron having some trouble with Feliciano. Gomez and Feliciano have fought 3 times and they are 1-1-1. If Cotto isn't impressive he looks bad and I expect him to receive all of the same critisizm Cintron received after the Feliciano fight. Cintron is fighting a top 5 guy in the division. Cotto is fighting a fringe contender. Cotto better be impressive.
agREED w/this to Some Extent... This is 1 of those Fights where Cotto is DAMNED if he Does & DAMNED if he Doesn't... He's SUPPOSED to Beat Gomez CONVINCINGLY & Rather EARLY N REED's Opinion (5-6 Rounds MAX)...Gomez Should win NO MORE than A Round or a Handful of Exchanges MAX... It'll B an Entertaining, 1-Sided Fight...& if Gomez EXTENDS Cotto N ANY Way, it'll Make him Look Bad... REED
Cotto shouldn't be fighting this guy at all anyway. It's a tune up level fight and he had better make it look that way in the ring.
