[Boxing]: Cotto vs Marquez - Exhibition match

[YuginKadoya]

I decided to vote for Cotto and I think will bet for him for another face-off between Marquez, I think he can still take a beating and can surely deliver his punches with minimal training in no time, even though he doesn't have the height advantage I think he can pack a punch regarding of the height of his opponent, giving the fact that he has a 33 winning knockout on his record is not really bad and this exhibition match can help him get back on track even though it is for a little while.

This is a surprise:

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

Multiple sources have informed BoxingScene.com that the pair of former four-division titlists are due to meet in an exhibition bout on June 12 from a location to be determined. Details on the event have yet to be confirmed other than that an announcement from both parties is expected in the coming days.

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 have spare of 250$ this May so i think i'll be saving this for the fight . though I'm not a fan of exhibition fights but i guess this one is worth betting.

Looks like Cotto is leading in Poll but i will be for Marquez on this fight. My recent Bet is for Cotto but looks like there is a change of Plan after i watch one of Marquez practice lol.

That's a decent bet already, I'm also interested on betting in this fight but until now i could not find the betting odds. I will not bet right away but it's nice to see the betting odds early so we will have an idea on who is the favorite and underdog of the fight.

Good luck, both are great fighers so either fighter could win.

Is the deal for this fight already sealed? I guess the odds will come out soon if this fight proceeds. But this is still scheduled two months from now so there is still enough time left for you to wait for the odds and decide which is the fighter to stake your money on.

I also think 250$ is big enough. Remember that this is just a friendly match. But it is up to you of course. It is your money anyway.

That depends on OP's budget, it's an exhibition fight but betting is betting, you can put any amount that you can afford to lose, that would add up some excitement because its necessary for us who love to gamble and love the sport. $250 is big for others but for others it's just a small amount, we have different financial status, so we feel differently.

One problem with exhibition fights however is that there is a chance for its result to be a draw no matter how lopsided the decision could be. This is an exhibition fight and they would probably make it last up to 12 rounds just like Tyson and Jones exhibition fight. If it was a real title fight, it wouldn't last up to 12 rounds knowing Tyson would throw his uppercut from down under with all his weight and up.

This fight Cotto vs Marquez exhibition could also end a draw as well as its made for the audience to enjoy the signature fighting style.

Holy sh*t! That is actually my first reaction when I read the news about an exhibition match between two of my favorite boxing fighters of all time. I actually give both of them the recognition since they are only the few fighters who went toe-to-toe with Manny Pacquiao during his prime.

I remember, these two boxers are very respectable on their respective fields as everyone actually loves them! To see that they are going to have an exhibition match brings me back to the days when Pacquiao dominated the boxing sport before. I also remember that Pacquiao mentioned that his fight with Cotto was considered his most difficult fight; to see that Cotto and Marquez in the boxing ring again is every boxer fan's dream!

I agree with Marquez as he is really hungry to beat Pacquaio during their time. Even willing to accept a much lower deal and paycheck just to make the fight happen and successfully managed to get his goal at their 4th time meeting.

But not with Cotto as the latter became a Pacman's punching bag during their fight. Cotto's wife can't even take it and leave the arena. Salute however to Cotto as even he's struggling and bloodied he manage to survive until the last round.

You can make up those comparison basing off with those previous fights that they had with Pacquiao and you can really tell on who is much more better with that which is Marquez.
Im with Marquez with this fight if ever this one will happen because no doubt  that this guy can still make out those punches even if he's past to his prime and same goes with
Cotto but im not really expecting that much specially if this is just a exhibition match but still this could be considered to be entertaining.
Its now becoming a trend to make exhibition fights like this where management could really sip out some revenues on here.

Interesting what odds will the sportsbooks give to this exhibition fight. I believe even if this is just an exhibition fight, these 2 fighters will give their best to give not a boring fight to viewers. At least, give an interesting fight to watch for all boxing fans. Maybe this fight will also give them an idea how are they now inside the ring. And maybe a determining factor if they will get out of their retirement and fight one more time.

[goinmerry]

And maybe a determining factor if they will get out of their retirement and fight one more time.

Not possible and not a good idea as they don't have a target or goal anymore. If they will come out of retirement, more for money purposes now and not because they want to achieve another milestone in their respective careers.

And they will make more money in exhibition matches compare to a title match. These boxing legends won't also accept a low deal if they will return to the ring so I doubt there's an active boxer that will accept their challenge.

[plr]

These two fighters should have meet in their boxing days, they have a style that will complement each other, one is a very good counter puncher, the other a good boxer with a good attack, now that they are meeting in an exhibition match and past their prime, I don't think we can see the fireworks that we used to see, I am betting Cotto to win by a decision here.

[Kemarit]

Two old heads in boxing going for an exhibition match sounds like fun. I do not expect explosive power from these two anymore since they're way past their prime (especially Marquez) though I still expect to see a good bout especially on their footwork and how they carry themselves in the ring. In terms of raw power, I'd place my bet on Cotto. He's a good all-rounder too, and excels mostly on speed. A good match, I should say, and perhaps a good match to throw a couple bucks at and just enjoy the show.

Almost all people who do made up some post on this thread do look negatively for these kind of exhibition fights but it turns out to be totally opposite for you and youre enjoying it instead.
When it comes to power then i would really be favoring Cotto but i cant really just ignore on how well Marquez is even though this is an exhibition match and theyre already past
their prime but this one would be entertaining but i do agree with people words on here that exhibition matches becomes the trend now.

This is pure for fun I believed as this is an exhibition, we just have to see them fight again, we have been robbed of this fight in their prime,

I also believe its pure fun but at what part are we robbed during their fight?
What particular fight because AFAIR, both have not fought each other before although both fought Mayweather.

What I meant is that we as boxing fans we're robbed of this fight, they should have face each other during their prime days. And I don't know what they didn't, I'm just speculating that Cotto is a pure and natural Welterweight, while Marquez just focus on Pacquiao at the end of his career.

So now we are going to see them at least, not in their primes, but there could be some tinkering as to what's going to play out when they have fought before.

That's right. Thanks for reminding me this as I might put a little wage on draw. I forgot that the Tyson and Jones Jr. exhibition match ended in draw even if it was clear that it was Tyson who really controlled the entire fight.

Since this is an exhibition or a friendly match, it is not important who wins and who loses. Some judges might as well make it a draw to just please both the fighters and everyone of their fans.

It could have been an exciting fights, if these two fighters meet in their prime, I don't know if we are going to see the styles that makes them the best fighters of their generation, Cotto has a slight advantage but this is Manuel Marquez, even in his last fight he did not show slowdown or aging, we will see a very exciting match here, even though it's an exhibition match.

well I'm not betting for this in any amount but I will also for Cotto if having a chance.

Age wise and also reach , it seems that Cotto will dominate the whole exhibition game.

But I'm afraid of betting in some kind of fight like this because the chance of Draw like what happened to Jones and Tyson that ended with a Damn Draw decision .

Of course its possible, but DRAW does not happen all the time, if you are unlucky you'll loss your bet, that's reality in gambling. If fans would be watching this and promoters are making good money, then I guess they'll put a script to end this in a draw so there will be another fight.

Exhibtion fights has less credibility compared to actual fight, so cheating or rigging the fight is possible.

if they have Meet in their Prime ? surely Marquez will Break Cotto's Bones because of His style.

and those advantage are>>>>

>> Stamina

>> Power

>> Perseverance


Those skills is what he used to become one of the finest and popular in His division .

But for this fight? I will Share with Cotto's favoritism ..

I'm not so sure about that, Cotto is a great fighter also and Marquez is not really a heavy puncher, he is just durable in the ring but I believe Cotto is smart as a boxer, and I guess they'll never meet as Cotto weight is higher compared to Marquez.

Have you seen Marquez goes up in weight to fight Mayweather?

Look what happen, he was schooled by Mayweather and the fight was not even exciting to watch. Mayweather vs Cotto was better although Mayweather still win.

These are some of the names that Cotto beat.

Sergio Martinez
Antonio Margarito
Ricardo Mayorga
Yuri Foreman
Zab Judah ( the one that almost beat Mayweather)

[Peanutswar]

It took a while before I saw those boxers trying to back into the boxing world, base on my perspective and analysis I think Marquez has the potential to win this game because on the match of Pacquiao and Marquez on a long time they are the best rivalry and also just a two-match with Cotto only against Pacquiao rather than Pacquiao and Marquez it's just speculation that Marquez will dominate this game. Of course, this is a sports game, and mind games anything can happen in a one-punch or mistake this can turn over the game easily and chance to win the title.
