I want Pacquiao to win.  After that hopefully he gets a fight with afflete Gayweather and knocks him out.

I'm rooting for Cotto but I respect Pacquiao as he is a caste buster for Asians and I wouldn't be surprised if he wins. In fact, every time I've picked against the Pacman(with the exception of the Diaz fight) he's won.

I have a lot of respect for both these warriors and I'm looking forward to an exciting fight tonight!
There's quite a contrast between the good sportsmanship and courageous fighting styles of these men, and the childish trash-talking and cowardly running of Mayweather and Haye. Edited by: Parody

Your right about these two Jcolec02, it refreshing not to hear constant affelet bravado and trash talk. These two just let their fist do the talking. I want Cotto to win, he is a great fighter and class act. I suspect Margacheato's fists were loaded when he was brutally KO'd two years ago.
I am predicting a 9th round TKO by Cotto. I don't think Pacman realizes how deceptively fast Cotto is and how hard he hits. Cotto is a master of timing fast fighters. I look at his victories over Judah and Mosely.

For Pacquiao-Cotto, the streams on justin.tv will likely be shut down by HBO.
There is a program called ''TVU Player'' which is basicaly like Sopcast. Visit this link to download it:
TVU download
After download, install it...then a few seconds after you install it...click to open it...
OPEN
in the green highlighted area you will type this # (66563), that's the LIVE STREAM.
But the broadcasting will be just for the main event, starting at 9:30pm or at 10:00pm Eastern time - depending how quick the undercard fights end.
This stream CANNOT get taken down by HBO, since it's not a web stream like Justin which allows HBO to track it and delete it...this is a program INSTALLED in your pc, they don't have access to this, they can't take it down. TVU worked beautifully for the Fedor fight last weekend.
If for some unforseen reason TVU doesn't work, Sopcast should be streaming the fight as well.Edited by: Parody

I think for Cotto to win the fight he needs to press the action and walk pacman down. Don't wait until the middle of the fight either, start off crowding him and don't let him jump in and out like he wants to because that's were his advantage is (see De La Hoya, Hatton fights). As for their character, Pacquiao before the Hatton fight, was almost too humble. I dont even remember him making a prediction, Hatton also showed class before the fight and they seemed to genuinely like each other and have mutual respect. It is very refreshing to see 2 no nonsense fighters who bring it in the ring, don't run from fights and always show character.Edited by: jcolec02
Regarding Pacman, I respect him as a person and obviously as a fighter. However, I think its quite arrogant of him to have this scheduled concert shortly after the fight featuring him singing!!! I wonder if the concert will take place if Manny is KO'd and carried out on a strecher? I suppose his second rate brother, a fight as well could step in and lip syng for him.
Just kidding, but Pacman does have that concert planned.

LOL Westside.  I was wondering what you were talking about.
Pacman is the favorite 3-1. I have great respect for Cotto, but I think Pacman will win this one, by late round TKO, or a UD. Pacman is starting to prove what he's been doing in his last 4 fights:
gaining weight is easier than losing weight.
That's because losing weight affects one's stamina (De La Hoya, Hatton). I think Cotto will have stamina issues here. Paquiao has never had any stamina issues ever since he decide to invade the lightweight and welterweight divisions. He's the best chance of handing that arrogant Mayweather's first defeat.

Have you heard him sing. Picture William Hung with more polish. I think the 145 limit might wear on Cotto. He looked very drawn in recent photos. this might hurt his abilities down the stretch.
Miguel is the master of timing faster fighters, look at what happened to Mosely and Judah. Both hit alot harder that Pacman. The only question is Miguel stamina. If he can stay strong, Pacman is in for a world of hurt. Prediction: 9th round KO by Cotto.
On a side note what ever happened to Maple Leaf? He was an excellent writer and knew boxing. Does anyone know what happened to him? He is surely missed here.

A lot of late Cotto money is coming in. Hard to resist 3-1 odds with such a strong fighter as Cotto. Throw out the Margorito fight, the Mexican cheater's gloves were loaded. I would make Cotto the favorite, my only reservation being his chin.
Yeah I miss Maple Leaf's posts too. The guy really knows his boxing. IMO the smartest boxing guy that has been on this board.

Yuri Foreman wins a very wide decision (117-109, 117-109, and 116-110) and scored two knockdowns in the fight.
This guy has some very good technical skills.

I just think Cotto is a different animal than Oscar or Ricky. I'm saying Cotto.
