    This is a phrase that has been repeated quite a bit recently. Is it true? What's the basis for it?

    It is 100% true on the basis that there is not a figter alive that likes it to the body.

    Get serious for a minute. You for example, you are a Margarito fan, eh?

    Is it true that Antonio is vulnerable to body shots? Be honest.

    Truth is nobody likes the body shot, it is probably the only way I think Cotto can take down Margo, therefor I believe if Cotto wins it will be by decision. When Cotto does attack the body its probably gonna be in and out I dont think this fight will be a phone booth fight at all like everyone expects, however in an interview Margo talks about a new strategy he will use how hes gonna fight an outside fight and keep some distance unless Cotto goes toe to toe.

    Margarito is a good body puncher himself. His chin is rock solid also, so for someone who is supposed to not have any chance to win this fight, not even getting out of the first round, I think some will get a surprise. Will Margarito win? He has to knock Cotto out to do such, as the ref and judges will be on Cotto's side, but I expect a good fight in spite of the prejudice.

    :lol:

    100% truth m8. I've certainly never met one. And personally I ****ing hate it. Rather a baseball bat to the back of the head to be honest. That pain in the body just doesn't go away bro.

    Both fighters like to go to the body. Cotto is not the only body puncher here. Both of them are. Cotto gets more credit for it though.

    thats because he's a more mature and technically sound puncher IMO:

    In a way, i kind of agree with bad intensions. We have all seen a lot of judges which seem to favor the money fighter or the more popular fighter. They usually give the decision to the more marketable fighter. Or who knows, they might try to make a rematch out of this one.
