PaddockLoyal 105 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I also see Mayweather will face Cotto at 154 next. I give credit to Mayweather for his choice of opponent this time, Cotto is still a dangerous opponent and a quality boxer. Still, it is about 5 years too late.

bdog19 16 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I heard this is only a 10-round contest. All set up for Alexander to stay on his bike and get the home points win. Yeah that's how I see this fight going. Big Maidana fan though so hoping he can get the win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more appealing than some of the other opponents mentioned eg Canelo & Guerrero. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash07 26 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Looks like Pac v Bradley, Money v Cotto. Again not bad fights at all. I think both will have trouble. Credit to Mayweather for not demanding a daft catchweight as well.Edit: looks like I spoke too soon, will probably be at 150. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said Alvarez hasn't been in the ring with anyone with Cotto's quality and he couldn't even knock M.Hatton out at a catch weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdog19 16 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Still not on the Saul Alvarez band wagon. Until he beats an elite opponent in his prime I'll remain sceptical of him. Talent is no doubt there, but he has to step up his level of opposition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdog19 16 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Quite enjoyed the Donaire fight. Has to work on a few things but he was impressive in my opinion. Good first opponent to face at 122lbs. No idea how one judge had it 115-112 to Vasquez but I suppose everybody sees a fight differently and likes different things with regards to how fighters fight in the ring.
