    I'm confident Miguel will win. He only has to make certain modifications to get the win, since he performed in the first half of the first fight so well. Steward will help him get his confidence back and improve his tactical advantage.

    If Cotto can learn how to clinch... he has a small chance of winning. Otherwise Margo will bully him and crush him again in the late rounds.

    I don't see what people have seen to indicate Margarito has nothing left. He hasn't fought since Pacquiao, so we can't really know. As far as I can tell, his orbital bone was obviously a sign of a big beat-down, but it wasn't the kind that broke his spirit or overly rocked his brain or severely dented his chin. I think if Cotto wins, it will be because of a much better game-plan, and neither fighter will be significantly past their physical primes.

    The type of recovery they would need to be on their A game is mental, and Cotto is on that right path with Steward, while Margarito's confidence doesn't seem to have wavered.

    Not to say I have any bias here as far as hoping for one or the other to win, but...looking forward to the rubbermatch. :deal :angel

    Unfortunately, when/if Cotto wins this one I think it'll just be written off as redemption, no rubber match needed.
