it was posted at fezziksplace.com by a guy named "9rattle". i dont think i'm allowed to post the link so please go to the site yourself and use the search feature. if you put in "9rattle" for posts by username, you'll see the link to the thread come up. 9rattle says that the news is out of cotto's camp that he is hurt, and he will pull out of the fight today (which is now gone) or tomorrow. fwiw, the odds are still up at pinnacle so the news (if its even real) has not hit yet

Probably a Brooklynyte looking to stir something up.

i know fullbrights, it would be major news and the leak wouldve forced all the books to take the odds down.  i&#x27;m thinking it might be someone who wants ppl to bet judah big so he can get a better price on cotto who is obviously the favorite

The guy is full of it unless he is the only soul on earth who knows about this.  Fighters aren&#x27;t putting much work in 2 days before a fight anyway, especially with Cotto&#x27;s weight already at the limit.  Also, if his motive was to get a better price on Cotto I don&#x27;t think a thread with 132 views is going to change the odds very much in his favor.

they have some high rollers over there at fezziksplace.  just one or two of those views couldve been someone with serious cash who could move the odds significantly.  of course, theyd probably check the news reports everywhere to make sure that it was indeed an accurate report.  since it hasnt been reported anywere, its extremely likely that its a bogus report

sportsmemo is also claiming this.

The weigh-in happens in two hours. You guys are just helping spread BS.

Dan Rafael (ESPN boxing writer) has been in chat for 30 minutes now and is on site.

One of the first questions posed by someone:

Bryant(Pitt): Have you been around the Judah and Cotto the past few days? If so who seems more confident heading into this fight?

Dan Rafael: (2:30 PM ET ) I have seen and talked to both guys. Both of them are very confident. Cotto's is more of a quiet confidence than Judah's but they both look great, both are confident and both look very serious about the fight.

Let this die, it is not true.

Check that, they have already had the weigh-in outside MSG this afternoon.  I can&#x27;t believe that you two sipped on this bullshit flavored Kool-Aid.  Use your heads next time and don&#x27;t believe a single message boarder over the entire news media and common sense.

FP is a very good board. Not a lot of elite fight handicappers over there but some excellent discussion on the other sports.

I’m working with Fezzik on a public poker experiment called the APEDAQ. Basically, we’re trying to prove that anyone can win at No Limit Hold’em by using a very simplified strategy that involves minimal decision making. I post regular updates on the project's progress which tend to generate debate. Anyone who is interested in poker should go over there and check it out.
