Cotto fans: What makes you think Miguel will win this time?

all this talk about Margo's eye, what about Cotto's face? That **** is like a ripe fruit and splits when barely touched. Pac didn't use plaster and look what happened.

Cotto's worst enemy, IMHO, is himself. If he can keep his head in the game he might win. But Marg took every shot Cotto threw at him and walked through them. Marg took every shot Pac threw, and walked through them.

It's a tough fight to call at this point because we don't know what version of Cotto will show up or how Marg eye will hold up. I say by the 4th we will know the winner (not saying KO will happen by then, just we'll get a sense of each of their mindsets).

Margo by late stoppage.

 

Cotto had the superior tactical advantage last time, by far. People forget how he made margerito look silly on more than a few occasions early in the fight. Cotto was winning. Cotto had worn out and gave up due to taking too much damage, he will naturally train to expose antonios one size fits all approach to boxing if he keeps his head and will to win, i think he's smart enough not to get hit as much this time.

 

Margarito cheating in the Cotto fight is a theory like evolution is a 'theory'. He cheated. Period.

Whether he HAD to cheat to get a win over Cotto remains to be seen. Personally, I hope Cotto just kicks his ass all over the ring.

 

@berni
Cheating in a fight is like you cheating in a exam but doesn't prove you cheated the whole semester. If margo can hurt pacquiao why not cotto? With or without plaster, that guy brings power.

 

If you were studious throughout the semester then you would not need to cheat on the exam!!!

Everyone says "oh it was my first time"

Just like my neighbor's wife he caught her cheating...finally.

She said it was her first time and played the victim...
we've seen her sneaking around for a couple of years.
Sadly he believed her...it's called denial!!!

 

@capitan
some studious people also has tendency to cheat a bit. Just because you studied, doesn't mean you won't cheat. There is still a tendency even for a few.

 

uh maybe cause he never fought in a rematch, in the pro's that is, can't count the armatures cause they whored head gear.

 

Your dragging of this analogy comes off as somewhat of a confession. What are you REALLY trying to tell us???...:think

 

The lack of plaster in the gloves with help a lot...getting hit with bricks to just normal punches makes a big difference...it wont be as draining, and cotto is very very motivated for this fight....he's much better overall than margacheato, he just needs to make sure he's well conditioned for this fight.

 

Margo shouldn't be licenced.

 

Fixed...:yep

 

@I1T2Box

I made it a little bit off topic. Don't get me wrong. What margo did was untolerable. But people are making the handwraps as a major bargaining chip for the cotto fight. Margarito is being assumed to have no power after the handwrap scandal. What then if he hurts cotto again? I saw him fight pacquaio and he DID hurt him. So why can't he hurt cotto anymore?

And btw, smart ass people does cheat as well!!

 

Abdulleav - lost to him in the Olympics
Pinto - lost to him in the am's
Torres - lost to him in the am's

 

I was just messing with you...I get what you are saying but I dont think Miguel is banking on the softer punches theory. He knows he could have won the first one, handwraps aside he made tactical mistakes.
