Predictions: Vitali, Margarito will destroy Peter, Cotto

Good to see you back mate:good
I'm not sure I agree with either
Cotto is the easier pick for me as he has the serious advantage of speed here..this was very obvious with both of them on the same card..also Cotto can fight this fight anyway he wants to and still win

Peter I think will keep Vitali into politics, while stylistically your right as far as Peters style playing into Vitalis hands but its too hard to tell right now espescially for a comeback fight for Vitali..Peter has the momentum and I still havent forgotten what he did to Wlad(the better brother)..a tough one but I'm going with Peter by mid round KO

 

I think you are right about the Margarito-Cotto fight, wrong about the Peter-Klitschko fight. Presuming Vitali even makes it to the ring without a pre-fight injury, it is hard to back an aging fighter coming off four year layoffs against a young fighter in his prime

 

Well Paul lets really think about this......:think
Cotto is a much more versatile fighter and arguably much smarter....he can box on the outside and potshot counter Margo all nite long if he wants to...But the serious difference here is the SPEED...Aside from the speed Cotto ALWAYS digs deep when he needs to.....
So Cotto is Quicker, Faster, Smarter and arguably as Powerful...I'm already anxious for the post fight discussion:good

 

I'll put speed and quickness as the same trait and agree Cotto's got the edge. Smarts? I suppose he's more able to adapt his game plan mid-fight (Chop-Chop, Mosely, etc.), whereas Marg does his thing no matter what. But I have to give power to the big, awkward, nasty, rangy whalloping punches that Margarito throws non stop from round 1-12. He's bigger. He's taller. He's got leverage. Just physics there.

Also, don't think the smaller Cotto can pot shot Marg from the outside -- doing that will keep him on the end of Tony's shots for the whole, short night.

 

You are seriously underestimating Cotto's jab and overestimating Margos ability at distance....Margos style somewhat negates his slight reach advantage here.....again it's the speed coupled Cottos underrated jab and superior timing(countering)
Think about it if your 3 times faster than your opponent you can easily time them and counter them into oblivion
which is exactly what I expect to happen

 

Training Camp UD Vitali
Cotto TKO 11 Margarito

 

- lateral movement befuddles margarito. he's too squared up.

- cotto's jab will beat margarito to the punch

- mosley and judah both have snappier shots and faster shots and couldn't stop cotto. margarito wears you down - one thudding punch doesn't get the job done.

- margarito CAN be hurt to the body and he was stunned against clottey and williams. margarito's long body provides a big target for cotto and his looping slow shots give cotto plenty of opportunities to counter.

we'll know for sure on july 26th, but here's my prediction:

COTTO BY PUNISHING TKO

 

Like your breakdown bro...
I appreciate the time it took to drop it.
Good point's on the Margo Vs. Cotto
you made it hard for me to disagree with you.

Peter Vs. Klitscho can go either way IMO.
I can live with either, but a Good Vitali will always beat a good Peter.
whoever shows up that night at their best will win.

 

and why would margo fight pw in a rematch when pw will lose once again on saturday?

battle of the guys coming off a loss maybe?

 

Very good point about lateral movement with Cotto. I tend to class this along with his ring intelligence and generalship

 

cotto will beat margo.

 

Easier than a lot of people think.
