The eagerly awaited touchgloves.com boxing weekend predictions are in.
Miguel Cotto v.s. Oktay Urkal
Korosh: Cotto by KO. Urkal has not faced a top contender since losing to Kostya Tsyzu in 2001.
Reza: Without a doubt Cotto by KO in the 3rd or 4th round. Cotto just has too much power.
Farz B.: I hope Cotto doesn't look past Urkal, to Judah, and blow this fight. If not, Cotto's body punches will have Urkal's 37 year old body breaking down in no time. Cotto by 6th Round KO.
Jeff Soklin: Cotto by Decision
Edison Miranda v.s. Allan Green
Reza: Miranda by KO in the 2nd Round
Farz B: Miranda is a monster. But so is Green. Do you think Miranda will picture Arthur Abraham's face on every boxer he's going to fight until he gets his rematch with Abraham? If so, this could be a brutal fight to watch. Miranda 9th Round KO.
Korosh: I dont know its up in the air. Should be an exciting fight.
Israel Vasquez v.s. Rafael Marquez
Farz B.:Vasquez vs Marquez will be a fun fight to watch. I'm going to wish for a full 12 round competitive fight. Draw.
Korosh: Rafael Marquez hasn't lost since 2000 - I expect an exciting close fight with Marquez on top. True winner will be the fans
Reza: Israel Vasquez by Decision
Vic Darchinyan v.s. Victor Burgos
Korosh: Darchinyan; 6th Round KO
Reza: Darchinyan by KO
Farz B: Vic Darchinyan will get some quality air time on SHOWTIME. Burgos better look out for the left hook. Darchinyan 3rd round KO.
Here are the Vegas Odds:
Cotto - 2500
Urkal +1500
Green +170
Miranda -200
Marquez - 170
Vasquez +140
Darchinyan -1300
Burgos +900
