I've seen Kid Diamond scrap live in Vegas a couple times.. I think in this fight people are a little early calling Casamayor shot. Cas could easily be undefeated right now after two scraps with Corrales and one with Freitas, the decisions were that close. He's actually a marquee fighter still imho. If Kid Diamond isn't as special as his handlers think and a little bit more, Joel will get him out of there.
Also, Abdullaeev is tough as nails, I can't BELIEVE they're putting Cotto in with him, it's a pick em fight. Corley showed that Cotto can be buzzed and I think Abdul is gonna get him. Abdul's only loss is an anomaly, he simply lost track of the count. He's NEVER been hurt in the ring that I've seen. If he can get to Cotto's chin at all - and if Corley could, why not Abdul? - and hurt him he'll do what Corley forgot to do and take him out.
These are two fights in which I think the bookies are WRONG on the odds, they're both 50/50 fights and If I were to bet on them, I'd take the odds in both cases.
