Yes, vengeance factor should sell well. Also loser is done I think! So may be the last fight to see of the loser.
Exactly....Cotto said he made some errors that he will not make again and will win!!! He could have had an easier fight in schooling Chavez, but wanted some revenge. I'm sure Steward will pay close attention to the handwrapping!!!
I love the idea it's in NYC... Cotto should've pull the Manny move and force Margarito at 150 At 154 it will benefit Margarito more than anything esp. at this time of his career...
I love and hate this fight. these two are some of my favorite fighters over the last ten years. And I know someone has got to lose, given the history they're gonna give each other a beating..
Give all the props to Cotto for making this fight happend. He could have easily done what many fighters have done and avoided a rematch or force this fight earlier for his convenience. Give him also props for waiting for Margarito to fully heal and also no weight demands and making this at 154 something Margarito appreciates. Cotto is simply the man and has my respect.
Easier time schooling Chavez jr.?... Cotto is not a technical fighter he fights head on and has some movement, but he would have to fight Chavez and he would either beat him or Chavez would beat him and Chavez is fresher and a middle weight. Margarito is more of an even fight for him.
I ****ing hate the fact that Bob Arum is giving Margarito another payday and a shot at the Championship when he hasn't deserved ****! Just wait and see and if Margarito wins, we might see JCC Jr. vs Margarito or if Cotto wins a Cotto/Pac 2. But aside from my frustration I will still watch this fight :hey just to see Cotto beat this cheat!
they should do a 24/7 series about this. id be interested on what both camps has to say and how cotto prepares himself for it. and they should call the fight "revenge" lol
Does Marg deserve any respect for taking this tough fight? After 2 great beatings, one that "broke his face", many would have retired. [Not making excuses for his plaster hands, just asking about him still fighting after his injuries--which I believe will cause problems henceforth, and make it easier to get re-injured vs Cotto.]
