I never care how much of an underdog he is, I’m for Cotto all the way. That poster is pretty bad, I must agree with you guys. That looks terrible lol.
What’s the over/under on how many of those posters they’re going to sell? If it’s 10, I’ll take the under. That’s just wrong.
Meh, a subpar card but the 2 main events have intrigue to em other than that a horrible poster it appears to be one man with a badly disfigured face.
