Miguel Angel Cotto v. Alfonso Gomez Odds

Written by Jimmy Boyd

Miguel Angel Cotto takes on Alfonso Gomez Saturday April 12th at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey for the WBA Welterweight Title. Cotto has successfully defended his title three times, but will Gomez be the guy who takes it away? Get Jimmy Boyd’s take as he weighs the Cotto-Gomez Boxing Odds.

Miguel Cotto is a former WBO Light Welterweight Champion and is the current WBO Welterweight champ. The 27 year old Puerto Rican fighter captured the Welterweight title in 2006 with a win over Carlos Quintana. Cotto has a staggering record of 31-0 with 25 wins coming by way of knockout.

Gomez made a name for himself by starring on the reality TV series The Contender where he ended up third out of 16 fighters. He has a professional boxing record of 18-3-2. Gomez has shown a strong work ethic that comes with having your father as your coach, but he appears to be out of his league here. Since The Contender, Gomez is undefeated through six fights with wins over Jesse Brinkley, Luciano Perez, Jesse Feliciano, Martin Concepcion, Arturo Gatti, and Ben Tackie

Let’s put it this way, BodogLife.com lists Cotto as the -1000 heavy favorite for a reason. The guy has been a champion of his weight class since 2004, defending titles numerous times. In Cotto’s last fight, he defeated Shane Mosely via unanimous decision to solidify himself as an elite fighter. Gomez hasn’t fought anyone close to this caliber and that will be made evident early on in this one. While Gomez has the will to be a champion, he does not has the raw ability that Cotto possesses.

If you don’t want to lay a big number here for a small return to get Cotto, you can bet the Under 9.5 rounds at BodogLife.com as we have Cotto knocking out Gomez.
