Cotto vs Foreman

[Czu81]

Any thoughts? I`m leaning to Foreman.

Noticed your thread the other day and I'm still gonna be first to respond. Not a single Ahole cares about this fight? *sigh*

I lean slightly to Foreman as well and he opened at +200, sat there for about a week, then all the books, collectively as a whole, dropped him to +185. So the big question: Can we count on Latinos to get it back to +200 or better just before the fight when there should be plenty of action on Cotto?

I'd like to see the weigh-in first with this being a move up for Cotto.

i went with cotto...

Im thinking if Cotto can get mentally over his 2 losses vs the Pacroid & Brick hands he should win this

Cotto is a class above Foreman. The point is to see how much the damage in his two losses affects Cotto. He may be done already, or may have still a few good years ahead.

Line for Foreman dropped from +185 to +175 today, it's still at +185 on PlayersOnly, which I think uses sportsbook.com book (though I'm a noob and still don't understand how that works). I wonder if I should just bet the 185 if I like Foreman?

I agree with this, I'm not laying -200 though, I think a cotto by decision prop is the best play here

[bruce_outside]

i'm not so sure. cotto has taken such a beating in his last few fights. the move up in weight should keep him from being drained but foreman looks way bigger to me. i know yuri has very few ko's but he did drop santos in that vid you posted. i do think it goes to dec tho.

[illmatick]

over 10.5 at -145 looks good

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Cotto's gonna know that bitch out.

I'm staying away from this one. Normally I'd expect Cotto to win easily, but he took such an incredible beating in his last fight that I don't feel comfortable laying a somewhat high price on him.

[Fitzel]

Although the beating he took was from a substantially better fighter than Foreman IMO. Cotto by decision seems to be the way to go, although I don't see the lines up for it yet on bodog.

[HauntingTheHoly]

yeah bodog doesn't have them up yet. If they have him at -220 how does the math work to predict the decision and KO props if you assumed they'd be equal?
