Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito II prediction?

Cotto UD. Ive suffered the same eye injury as Margo but less severe and I see it swelling up again after a couple clean shots

 

What???

 

Badass Gaz in the house!:deal

 

get ta....

 

I think that Margarito will win again, but we don't know how much of an effect the beating vs Pacquiao will have.

Question about Margarito - did he really throw 1675 punches against Clottey?

 

Repeat.

 

Nvm.

 

That's more realistic, how could it be wrong by that much though?

 

I think I might be wrong actually. Can't find a proper link though.

 

Same as before, you could have slung margarito in with foreman and mayorga and he'd of sparked them out.

Marg by Ko

 

Same thing happens again for me. I don't really remember the first fight, did Cotto use his jab effectively at all? Coz he has a very good jab, and I guess with Steward it will be used more now.

 

Not to a great extent from what I remember. Had success in early rounds as was able to use good head movement to make him miss, even dropping his hands by the ropes, and counterpunching well. But Margarito caught up with him, and Cotto got more and more defensive.

But I haven't watched it in a while so could be wrong.

 

Pretty much how I remember it.

It'll be interesting whatever happens.

 

Margarito beats Cotto again I reckon. Stylistically, he's all wrong for Cotto.

The only thing that makes me think twice is the fact that Margarito has taken a silly amount of punishment in his last few fights. It has to catch up to him sometime (surely?), maybe this'll be when it does.

But regardless, I see the fight playing out eerily similar to the first one, with Cotto boxing smartly and racking up the rounds early on with Margo's pressure taking its toll as the fight progresses.

It's gonna be class, I'm well looking forward to it.

 

Cotto is the better boxer and will need to be more efficient this time, due to wear and tear. His strategy will be boxing on the back foot, catching Tony with eyecatching combinations and then moving out of the way.

I think that unlike the first fight Cotto will go to the body this time which should slow Tony down slightly, Tony will do the same as he always does but may just have a bit less all round this time.

Cotto to get ahead earlier, avoid trading, use his boxing skills to take less damage than last time and win by clear decision.
