Cotto will face Daniel Gaele at 157lbs, June 6 at Barclays on HBO

[H.I.M.]

Probably the most viable opponent in or around the division that was available for that date.

Has GGG or his camp ever said if he was open to fighting Cotto at a catchweight btw?

He's said that he'd move down to 154 for a big fight,

So I'm guessing he would be down

A fukking catchweight

Where are #Shookboys to come in here and tell us how great of a fight Gaele is :cmsas1:


Or does that not apply here :cmsas2:

Geale has a good chance here. Geale is on a similar level to Trout imo. Solid & unspectacular, typically go the distance but give just about everyone they fight fits except when they're outclassed (Lara & GGG). Cotto doesn't outclass Geale to me. I might be wrong though.

 

[THE MACHINE]

The Cotto defense team is coming up with the reasoning for this. We assure the boxing public there is a legitimate explanation for this . Stay tuned for more details.

Since HBO is picking this fight up, wonder if that means he's already committed to fighting Canelo or GGG next

I bet its canelo

 

[Big Boss]

what it say?

its gone

 

[Big Boss]

im pretty sure roc nation doesn't want cotto to fight ggg right now


1st fight against geale

2nd fight against canelo

3rd fight against ggg

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

That's how I see it going, too much $$ not to fight Canelo win or lose at this stage.

He announced the weight

157lbs I'm not mad at this fight.

hbo has accepted the fight from what i've read, must means canelo-cotto is a go for september unless kirkland or degeale fuk it all up lol

 

[Jello Biafra]

This isn't a horrible fight but just thinking that we could have had Cotto/Canelo on this date if Cotto didn't go into full on diva mode annoys me.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Geale ain't the worst opponent, but the fukk has he done to get another title shot.

I could actually seem him outboxing Cotto too. He let Barker outwork him, but Barker's a big strong dude so we'll see.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Fight Canelo you p*ssy

It was reported a few months ago HBO wouldn't televise Cottons next fight without a written agreement from him that he will fight Canelo next...
