"I have wanted this fight against Cotto for so long. I am going to make that ring a pressure cooker for him. I will be in one gear for our fight -- forward. I will wear him down, break him down and knock him out. July 26 can't come fast enough for me." -- Antonio Margarito, on his much anticipated HBO PPV showdown against welterweight titleholder Miguel Cotto. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/notebook?page=notebook/boxingmay23 this quote alone has excited me for this fight alot more
Yea dude you could tell from the press conference that he is really looking forward to exchanging punches. He is gonna be all over Cotto in this fight.
Margarito will win, Cotto may be the better boxer but Margarito is the winner in the style matchup. Cotto's bravery and willingness to trade will cost him I think Margarito will lure him into a brawl and negate his superior boxing skills
Antonio Margarito is going down he is going to be open for punches all night and he has no idea what Cotto's body shots are like Cotto KO 11th round
Can't wait for this one. Easily the best fight of the summer and maybe it will be the best fight of the year. I'm going with Cotto by Decision.
Im almost afraid that the fight will be such a war that both guys will be ruined afterwards. Im not kidding, they are both punchers, both hook to the body, both never give, never give ground, have indomitable will, both in their absolute primes. This is going to be epic
I just hope the Margarito hype will truly end after this. I know it probably won't, but I can still hope..
I got banned, and my username expired. Prior to my ban I had 9,000+ posts. It sucks being seeing the noob status
I was 300 posts short of VIP status. I got a perma ban also, ****ing enfuriating. I still got the VIP attitude though.
cotto hasnt tasted a marg body shot yet either, ask cintron what they feel like. seriously though should be an awesome fight. i see marg walking through cotto all night unless cotto uses the same jab he used against mosley to hold him off.
