[Boxing]: Cotto vs Marquez - Exhibition match

[Distinctin]

I'm surprised with this news, I thought they were already not active in boxing but here we are again, seeing them fighting.

I guess Marquez should also give Manny a chance for exhibition so Manny could avenge his loss..
Marquez vs Cotto, I think I'll go for Cotto as I believe he is a better fighter.

[Yamifoud]

These are Manny's boxing buddies, lol...

Manny is still active while both are already making an exhibition fight, I'm wondering if Manny would retire and he will still do stuff like this.
I guess Manny will still make more money on the fight because he has a lot of fans that are willing to support and watch his fight.

Marquez vs Cotto, I think I'll go for Cotto as I believe he is a better fighter.

Same here mate.

Another boxing exhibition match brewing up. Some are still in the pipeline. Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. were done as well as Nate Robinson and Jake Paul. Dela Hoya is planning to return. Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul's match was postponed. Jake Paul and Ben Askren are expected to face each other inside the boxing ring come April. Entertainment galore!

I guess this is courtesy of covid-19 as ex-boxers and other MMA fighters and other sports discipline is finding their way inside the right and generate money. Miguel Cotto and JM Marquez has a storied carrier in boxing and maybe they wanted to box again, make money or donate the proceeds to covid-19 victims in their respective countries.

I've added a poll now. You may cast your votes to see who are going to be the favourite amongst our boxing fans here in this community. I reckon that Cotto may get the most votes base on the comments above.

This is a surprise:

Miguel Cotto vs. Juan Manuel Marquez Exhibition Clash in Play For June 12

Oh well, retired boxers are now on the exhibition match. I think this fight should have happened when they are still fighting, Pacquiao has the luxury to fight these two legendary boxers, specially Marquez. Information is sketchy at this point.

Perhaps Cotto will be the slight favourite here.

I do rather say that Marquez would be favorite on here than with Cotto.It seems that these retired boxers trying to make out some money this pandemic.They have seen that
these exhibition matches could really give some money in both parties but i dont think that there would really be much more interest with these upcoming fights.
I do rather get interested when Marquez and Pacquiao would really be having some exhibition fight than with Coto which is surely an interesting
one than on this.

i thought exhibition fights are almost over. but here we are, another one. but for the sake of voting, i go for marquez on this one. maybe, their respective promoters are finding a way how to earn additional income since they cant get full revenue for the gates.
there are so many good matches now. so i hope these promoters will stop doing these exhibition fights, unless they will give good portion to some organisations that badly need financial assistance

It looks like Marquez is winning the poll and this is indeed a surprise to me because he’s a retired boxer and now, having an exhibition match this coming June. They are trying to get back on the boxing ring to get some money for sure, though of course its good to see them back but I don’t know the meaning of retirement anymore with this one.  I will also go for Cotto on this one.

[carlfebz2]

Im betting with Marquez on this one when we do just base up on stats or number alone then theres no doubt that Marquez is much more experienced but since both are retired
then it will vary on how well they had maintained of their bodies on the time that they had already stopped on this boxing career.

We do have lots of exhibition matches lately but it turns out that money making or generated on these fights arent something the same compared to those normal days.

They are now trying to make some cash with these fights.

[crzy]

The last time I watched Marquez was the fight between Pacquiao so its interesting to watch him back on the ring and for whatever purpose of this Exhibition Match, hopefully the same intensity as before and of course, I’ll go for Marquez and I’m sure he wont fight without money, maybe they are doing this for charity purposes, let’s see.

[TravelMug]

I'm for Cotto, so the vote is tied as of now. Again, for me Cotto is the bigger guy and is the younger of the two. And it seems that he is more of the athletic guy as compare to Marquez.

Both of them has the experienced so it will even up, I'm looking at the age and how they are active after their boxing days. But yeah, they are looking for some nice money here because we all know that a PR vs Mexico fight specially these two fighters, fans are always going to buy and wanted to see them fight regardless if this is exhibition match.

[YOSHIE]

This is a little more complicated if you imagine that between Cotto and Marquez, both of them have a good history in boxing, both of them have won world boxing fights, this needs negotiation in this match.

Talking about (Cotto), maybe a little hopeful in winning this time, Cotto is not only a boxing legend, however, in the country of Cotto, Puerto Rico almost all corners have a tradition in boxing, it is recognized by the world.
However, anything can happen in the ring that we never expected, but my belief is Cotto has a good chance this time.

If both camps will treat this exhibition fight as a serious one, and prepare for it, it would be hard to know who will emerge as a winner. Been years that they are inactive, so they do need rigid training to give good fight inside the ring. Sometimes, training is a very important factor when it comes to actual performance of the fight. Once they step inside the ring, we will know if they still have the power left for boxing.

I'm not sure what do you mean by complicated, this is a exhibition match between two retired boxers. This is a easy negotiation because this is what is it, exhibition, similar to Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones.

Of course, Puerto Rico and Mexico has rich history of boxing, and we can call they rivals. Cotto for me has the advantage in this fight because he has fought a lot of good and bigger champions.

[Latviand]

I'm rooting for this matchup to really happened and be put into reality because these two are great boxers.

In this fight, I will probably place my bet on Marquez because we all know that he had a close fight with Manny Pacquiao which is a legendary boxer in the history. Unlike Miguel Cotto who became a punching bag after fight Pacman. But seeing these two punch each other inside a ring is really a good bout to look forward to.

I'm a guaranteed bettor for Juan Manuel Marquez as he can really dominate his opponent with his strong and lucky punch, like what hit Pacquiao previously on 2012.

Yoshie probably meant the fee. there is going to be a price for both to agree to terms. Tyson and Jones must have talked about how much they both get including the PPV shares. thetwo country have been both rivals since the time Felix Tito Trinidad was one of their best way back, i bet against my classmates betting for golden boy de Hoya. both countries are the ones dominating boxing, i guess this time they wanna match up again who got the better warrior.

Cotto is the fav because he's much younger but if they are both young, i'd go for the counter puncher.

[bitterguy28]

Seems like the voting is close to each other having 4-3 in favor of Cotto .

But I'll extend my support for Marquez as This Man has a Secret Power that Made Manny Pacquiao Sleeps for a While in their last bout 

[Natalim]

Seems like the voting is close to each other having 4-3 in favor of Cotto .

I have voted in favor of draw but not because  of my disbelieve of Marquez. My decision is largely due to the nature of this match.  If Marquez could go back 10 or 15 years and have the opportunity to clash  with   Cotto he  could  beat him. But now it's not the time to decide who is the best "light"-weight boxer.

I guess its nice if we will see the betting odds of this fight, I would like to see it first before I will make my decision.

Both are good fighters, so it's hard to decide, however since I like to bet the underdog, I hope the odds for the underdog is good.
For now, I voted for Cotto to win, but it's not final as I said.

[AicecreaME]

This is exciting since I've never seen Marquez in the ring since his last fight with Pacquiao, it was a solid knock out victory for him. Cotto lost to Pacquiao so I'm placing my bet on Marquez because his play is in fast phase yet still has the power to deliver a solid punch. It's all about technique and experience, and Marquez has all of that. Bit since it is just an exhibition match, I think they would not go all out but would just gonna show some new moves or their signature moves.

I'm glad that there are an equal support from these two fighters, some are in favor of Marquez while some are for Cotto.
Loving the poll result, it's current 4-5 in favor of Cotto, but I'll make it 4-6 because I'll bet for Cotto here to win the fight.

There are 2 who voted for a draw, but I doubt this will be a draw, its just an exhibition fight so draw is unlikely.
