Maidana vs Ortiz, who wins and how at 147 Khan vs Prescott at 140 who wins and how Cotto vs Margarito at 154 who wins and how Kirkland vs Ishida at 160 who wins and how
A tossup... leaning towards Maidana by TKO around round 8, with Ortiz out on his feet. Both men take brutal punishment. Khan TKO11 after a one sided beat down, Khan beats him to the punch and busts him up. Cotto by UD, I think he's gonna put a clinic on Margarito with Steward in his corner. At this point in time I think Ishida still beats Kirkland.
Ortiz wins a close UD Khan by UD in a tougher than expected contest Tossup Kirland with Anne Wolfe wins by TKO 5, without Anne Wolfe, Ishida by TKO in the 1st round.
I think Ortiz does him this time... Dropped him 3 times last time round, TKO Ortiz win. Khan UD, Prescott seems to have a solid chin, but Khan proved enough against Maidana to show he can beat a Prescott. Cotto UD, Margarito got one tough chin, exhaustion beat Cotto last time, his time round Cotto will be more conditioned and will pace himself just a bit more.
I think Maidana wins again. Ortiz fights exactly the same as he did then. No jab all forward no angles. Maidana was down 3 times in 2 rounds all on right hooks but he was always up immediately and not wobbly. His losses were all to boxers, the Khan fight was a war but he was beaten by a boxer. He wins the slugfest sort of fights. I think it plays out similar to the first fight, maybe not all those knockdowns but I think Maidana turns the tide and comes on later and wins down the stretch Khan vs Prescott I feel Khan stays out of danger and uses range to stay on the outside and takes few risks and wins a boring decision I think Margarito wins again in the same kind of fight. I think that if Miguel cant hurt you and you can put leather on him he gets in trouble. In their first fight and the Clottey fight and the Pacman fight he couldnt hurt them and they could hurt him and he went into backpeddle retreat mode. Unless Margo is really a shell of himself and Cotto fights a smarter fight the same result occurs. I think Cotto has the ability to out box him for 12 rounds but I feel he gets dragged into a war anyway Kirkland vs Ishida is a tough one for me. Kirkland did get caught 20 seconds in and never really recovered. If he doesnt get caught seconds into the fight does he do better? Also he fought like 3 fights in a month span with no time to look at film or really spend in the gym preparing. With time to look at film and have a serious training camp can he reverse this. What if he is the one who lands the bomb in the first 20 seconds. I think Ishida wins again. His faster and straighter punches will be Kirk's undoing. It goes more than a round but I think Ishida wins again
Ortiz learnt his lesson, and his demeanour has changed. Ortiz TKO Maidana mid rounds Khan absolutely dominates Prescott, TKO late rounds in vicious beating Cotto vs Margarito will be closely fought but not as brutal, therefore Cotto UD Kirkland will be more cautious this time round and will possibly train harder, Kirkland UD
I'm surprised so many people are picking Cotto to have revenge on Margarito. I think Cotto gets mauled again, possibly/likely earlier than last time out.
Ortiz KO 8 maidana.. He will use his superior skills and weather the storm this time and stop him via 8th round ko Khan UD.. prescott got lucky the first time, wont happen again... Margarito TKO 9... Tony is all wrong for cotto, I dont care if miguel has god training him.. hes getting sparked! Kirkland tko 4... Hopefully the real james kirkland shows up!
Rematch Ortiz vs Maidana, I got Ortiz this time, Maidana has plenty of flaws that have been exposed in his last two fights. Khan vs Prescott, I think Prescott takes it, Khans chin hasnt improved at all I dont think it can and the bigger question is can Khan mentally get past that loss? Cotto Margarito, I like Cotto in this fight, if he fights the way he did with Mayorga he should easily bust up Margarito and stop him to the body mid way through, Margarito was nearly dropped by body shots from Pacquiao in about the 5th round of their fight. if Cotto continues improving and there was a big improvement last time we saw him, Margarito gets his eye socket busted again and stopped. Kirkland vs Ishida, may as well rewatch their fight on the DVR, I dont think Kirkland has a good chin, and he is too wild when he throws punches. Ishida by stoppage again.
CAn you imagine the Margo Pac fought with a weigh in limit of 154. Cotto would need the plaster to stop him.
They fought at a catchweight of 150lbs, no? Margarito is all wrong for Cotto, have always been all wrong for Miguel and it won't change with Emmanuel Steward who couldn't change anything with Kermit Cintron fighting Margarito. Much like Margarito mauled Cintron earlier, he'll maul Cotto earlier. It's similar to Segura mauling Calderon, these mexicans have too much heat and determination.
Tito wasn't susceptible to being walked down like Cotto and Calderon. They fall into bad habits and those are habits the mexican non-stop aggression type- fighters will exploit. Cotto probably gets stopped in the 8th round.
I know man, I was just being funny b/c we were talking about Mexicans kicking PR's ass. I have some PR in my bloodline.
