I'm using sportsinteraction where putting money on a Cotto win by KO, TKO, or DQ can 4x your money.

TyC's Prediction for Saturday:
The first round starts off with fanny pac utilizing an expertly crafted strategy from Roach, they'll be cautious of the best left hook in the division. Fanny pac will box smart wishing he could do it like Floyd "MONEY" Mayweather. Team pac wins the first few rounds, but then Cotto begins to figure them out throughout the fight. Cotto then adapts to fanny pac. fanny can't outjab Cotto's pop jab. All th gun slinging makes **** look even. The crowd gets an instant hard on or soaks their panties from all the unpredictable, exciting, and nonstop action of the fight. Who will weather the storm for the victory?

Cotto Victory:
All those deliberately placed body shots throughout the war begin to break down fanny pac. Cotto drops fanny pac a few times later in the fight, and fanny pac struggles up stumbling. The ref sees that fanny pac has had enough and continuing their fight would just be torture, so he stops the fight to award Cotto a TKO. All that talk about Cotto being damaged goods from Margorito is erased from our minds. TyCooN makes his money, and goes poke fun at all those patriotic filipinos.

I don't see Cotto winning by points if the fight goes the distance. He's been known to slowly fade out throughout the fight.


pac Victory:
fanny Pac manages to survive the war, but he realizes that he doesn't have what it takes to KO a true welterweight with a great chin. He sticks to Roach's plan of attack, and is winning on points. He either gets the split decision, or stoppage on cuts. fanny pac secures his place in the boxing hall of fame. TyCooN no longer doubts fanny pac's ability to take on a legit welterweight.

I don't see fanny Pac getting the KO. Cotto managed to endure blows from a 5 ft 10 motherfucker with plaster in his hands, Mosley, Judah, and Clottey. I'm not saying fanny can't hurt him through an accumalation of punches. Besides, Cotto isn't Hatton he doesn't drop his jab to run into left hands.

wtf doesn't it seem to you guys that pavlik is totally ducking williams? He pulled out of the williams fight due to staph infection... but once paul found a replacement fighter he signs a deal to fight a nobody 2 weeks after the williams fight...

Maybe he signed to a fight early so he can be on the same track as Williams thus making for an easier set up to a match. We'll see for sure after both of their fights.

Former undisputed light welterweight champion, Ricky Hatton has stunned boxing fans by stating that he wants to fight Miguel Cotto next, but only if Cotto can defeat Pacquiao.
Is he crazy?

If it does go to the scorecards, and Cotto is a clear winner, will he get the nod? Oscar De La Hoya said before his fight with Pacquiao, "I hear Bob Arum has a lot of say in the judges decisions in Vegas".

The day has finally come. I still can't believe Pacquiao started as a 106 lbs fighter and was a 112 lbs flyweight champ and now he is at 144 lbs.

Here's to a great fight we hope to see tonight.

Pacman making Tycoon respect him. I was with Tycoon that it was going to be a close fight but after the first 2 rounds, it was total domination. Speed and power versus pure power was evident. Not only that but Pacman actually showed he can take a punch, which was a big surprise.

They did say that the buys in this fight far eclipsed Money vs. JMM, Moneys comeback so I guess a 50/50 split is more than gair now?

But seriously, when I didn't think he could be any better, he just keeps proving me wrong. Pacman really is the pound for pound best fighter, no questions asked.

What a fight. What a performance. What a legend Manny is. After trading with Pacquiao and going down, Cotto went in to a shell and survival mode. I lost some money after stupidly betting against manny for the 3rd time in a row, but regardless, I would love to be in the Phillipines partying right now.

Yea manny is more than the real deal... He completely dominated what many 'experts' thought would be a close fight.
