Oscar vs Cotto make your bets..who wins?

Question

Of Oscar reaches Cotto's chin...he will be gone.

Answer 1

Cotto by UD.

This is the best outcome and a win win for both fighters.

Cotto wins and remains a national hero and De La Hoya enjoys his final big pay day.

ps. De La Hoya's wife is Puerto Rican and even more importantly, De La Hoya lives in Puerto Rico. If he beats Cotto, the whole country would show up at his door steps.

Answer 2

Oscar on round 8..http://summer-olympics-updates.blogspot....

Answer 3

Oscar has as much riding on this match as any in his career....going out in a flurry will weigh heavily on his strategy.....Oscar by TKO, round 9.

Answer 4

Miguel Cotto.

Answer 5

This could be a bad for Oscar if Cotto can withstand his shots.  Cotto should real skill dealing with Mosely's hand speed and quickness - which is superior (always has been) to Oscar's.  But De la Hoya will be the biggest punching welterweight Cotto has seen (or at 154), so its going to be a question of whether Cotto's chin can get him close enough to Oscar to start breaking him down.

At this point, I think Cotto has the edge in every catergory except power - De la Hoya was able to legitmately drop Mayorga, whose chin is as good as anyone out there - while Cotto hasn't had much trouble taking shots at 147, you just never know because Oscar really does have excellent power at that weight.

I think Cotto will use his defense, which is deceptivley clever, to close the distance and sap De la Hoya's early power...then youth and aggression will take over and he'll outlast De la Hoya to a close be clear decision.

Answer 6
