Alfonso Gomez is out to shock the world and tonight when he faces Miguel Cotto for the W.B.A welterweight title he will do just that if he beats the top-5 pound for pound killer Cotto, as Gomez is a +800 boxing betting underdog.

The 27-year old Mexican/American Alfonso Gomez, 18-3-2, 8 KO’s, has proven to be a legit top-15 contender with his 8th round KO demoltion of fading Italian warrior Arturo Gatti in his last fight. Cotto, 31-0, 25 KO’s, is regarded as the #1 man right behind Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the welterweight division after outfighting “Sugar” Shane Mosely for a 12-round UD in his last bout. The OVER\UNDER is 9.5 rounds with the OVER at -170 for Miguel Cotto vs Alfonso Gomez.

The 5’9” Gomez will be the bigger man in this fight and he has shown that his technique of fighting inside or outside are both above-average. Gomez is a decent puncher but Cotto has the heavier hands in this fight by a good margin. Gomez might also be a tad faster than Cotto but Gomez has less stamina than the iron-willed Puerto Rican Cotto who takes opponents legs with his piercing body shots.  Cotto can be dropped but he has never been kept down.

Does the bigger Gomez have the firepower to keep the hard hitting superstar down for the 10 count?  Both of these guys swell up will this fight go past 10 rounds? Buy my winning boxing bet with expert analysis on this fight tonight between Miguel Cotto vs Alfonso Gomez.

Miguel Cotto is the #1 welterweight contender in the world second only to welterweight and pound-4-pound champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. While the 31-year old “Pretty Boy” Floyd is the king right now, more than a handful of boxing insiders have the opinion that the 27-year old Puerto Rican Cotto could lick Floyd if given the opportunity.

The solidly built 5’7” Miguel Cotto has been regarded as one of the hardest punchers pound-4-pound in boxing and his left hook to the body is paralyzing.

When Cotto has an opponent hurt his killer instinct is that of a blood thirsty shark with his excellent finishing ability. Cotto is not a one trick ponie however as he complements his power with a hard jab, tight defense and pinpoint accuracy to vital body parts. Cotto is a terrific combination puncher but his hand speed is only ordinary. Cotto is also a slow starter that is vulnerable to knockdowns and cuts. Miguel can be hurt but he has always shown a championship heart and determination that separates him from being just a good boxer to be being a great boxer.

Not that Sports-Odds.com is a site to brag about for the hints they offer or anything but UFC Fight Night 13 was another example of when this site gives out great UFC betting insight. The premium services even more so. UFC Fight Night had some predicted outcomes that would have made an attentive reader a few extra reasons to be happy after a great night of fights.

In a fight that was favored for the winner anyways, Marcus Aurelio took home a victory over replacement, Ryan Roberts as reported by Sports-Odds.com. The win came only :16 seconds into the very first round. While it was the quicket win of Marcus's career, it was not as quick as Houston Alexander would be knocked out. He was put to sleep by a superman punch by James Irving in the same evening. That :8 second knockout tied Don Fryes record for the quickest.

Marcus was expected to win and from our souce at Sobe Knockouts, a UFC clothing store on South Beach who sponsored Marcus, knew he was in great spirits, health and had an amazing training camp. His stable mate also from American Top Team, Thiago Alves also won his fight on Wednesday. None of the sports betting sites had him as a favorite over Karo. His management and the contact at Sobe Knockouts also made it clear before the fight they had trained with an Olympic Judo master to combat any skill Karo could pull out.

Sports-Odds.com also reported that the main danger that karo himself recognized came from the legs of Thiago Alves. The legs would end the fight as well. It was not the dangeros leg kicks, but rather a knee that would end the night in the second round. "The Heat" would protest the stopage, but the underdog won and will keep the "w" in the records for a great victory.
