Not seeing a poll for their rematch, so here it is. Who wins? I'm seeing a cotto close but clear UD; he gets battered again but this time gets a 116-112 type of decision, with NY Boricua bias added in
Cotto UD or Margo Ko Cotto showed he doesn't have neighter the workrate nor power to crack margos chin. Furthermore, Cotto is only a one-handed fighter with a mediocre right hand and a fairly limited offensive arsenal mainly consiting of a left jab and a left hook. Cotto will try to outbox him with the jab all night.
Cotto proved he couldn't handle the pressure and has alwaya has problems with pressure fighters. Cotto cannot hurt Margarito. Margarito by late Tko!
I am on the fence. WIth most fights i have an opinion on who will win. I am not always right (hence why my sky bet avvount it not +£1000000) but for this fight i just can pick a winner which is why this fight really excites me.
I think Margarito will stop him. Cotto looks timid in getting his punches off these days and I think he has being mentally fragile since their first fight. Margarito has the mental edge here and I think that will bring a performance out of him. Hope I am wrong as I love Cotto.
Its difficult to really pick who is going to win as neither fighter has been the same after the first fight. Cotto seemed to look the worse of the two but then Margacheato took 2 career ending style beatings from Mosley and Pacquiao. That being said I hope Cotto destroys him but doubt it will happen.
Cotto has to work at spoiling him up close. I saw him getting interviewed before the Jennings fight and he said he didn't grab hold because he "likes a clean fight". That's pretty ****ing stupid. He needs to try and work the body a lot better than the first fight. Margarito just needs to use the same tactics. Take his punches and wear him down.
Margarito by KO again earlier this time. Tony knows he has to Ko Cotto twice to get a draw no way in hell Tony gets a dec even if he wins every round
One of the points I always tried to make in the first fight is that even if Margarito did have illegal wraps, it wasn't the wraps that allowed him to walk right through every punch Cotto threw. I actually not 100% convinced AM had illegal wraps anyway.... ...in any case, however, I say Cotto by UD. Boring UD, even. Cotto won't be too eager to trade shots this time around. A psychological thing.
