Mosley vs Alvarez is just awesome. Weird decision for Golden Boy, however - putting one of their partners in against their own biggest prospect. They take a loss either way.

I don't believe the Primetime hype about Cotto's return. He's on the downswing, I'm afraid.

[GS Warriors 1]

I like Alvarez by wide UD. Mosley has a hell of a chin but he can't put his punches together like he used to, just hasn't looked good in his last 3 fights.

Cotto might have some success early but Floyd will adjust and probably coast to a decision.

Don't really care for the other 2 fights. If Quintana has anything left, he should beat Latimore.

[Nemesis21]

I think Mayweather will get the UD, but I'd like to see Cotto win.

[Gold Chain]

So happy Alverez is fighting in the co-main.

I'd like to see a Mosley win, even though he's on the downside of his career, Canelo hasn't really fought anybody like him

[cowboyronnie]

Mosley's the **** man, BTW. The guy fights every young lion he can. It's amazing. He's, what, 38?

I mean the whole reason he's at 147 is because there was no one at his genuine weight of 135.

He's 40, it turns out. When he was 37 he fought Cotto, then Mayorga, then Margarito, then Mayweather, Mora, Pac and now Canelo. Those guys are for the most part absolute monsters. Big, hard-hitting monsters.

Mora aside...

[Gold Chain]

I think he may have the most success against Floyd in recent memory.

He clipped him pretty nicely in their fight.

That said, Floyd's Floyd.

[HMFFL]

Mayweather takes this one fairly easy with a UD.

Let me check the line............

Sure enough, Mayweather is heavily favored.

Floyd Mayweather Jr
-800
Miguel Cotto
+500

[cowboyronnie]

the fight being competitive sorta depends on whether this new trainer of Cotto's can significantly refresh him. the Cotto of the past 3-4 years, not a chance.

as always, **** Margatito. beating on Cotto with those illegal wraps may have taken years off Cotto's competitiveness.

[Posey H8er]

how did Maragrito ever get re-licensed for that stunt? he should be facing attempted murder for that. it goes beyond the contractual agreement signed by both fighters, but i don't know how it works beyond that for any form of cheating.

co-main has Alvarez vs Mosley. i'm curious to see if Mosley has anything left.

[Najeem27]

Can't wait for Blake Griffin to ko Mosley

[Blame Rasho]

It hurts me to see Mosley fight nowadays...

[DefenseWins]

lol Justin Bieber walking with Mayweather.... what the hell
