Cotto-Margarito

I do hope it happens, if Cotto has enough Mantle he can take Marg, uncle bob will be more than happy to make another in house PPV

 

Share what? That he couldn't predict a winner. :huh

 

Well, imo Cotto is the better and more talented boxer, he will learn form this loss, adjust and come back even stronger if this is enough to beat Margo i can´t say know. I couldn´t watch the fight over but was there any sign at the end of the figh that this fight left a mark on Cotto - mentally?

 

This fight broke a string of correct picks I had going back to Hopkins-De La Hoya. I leaned towards Cotto, probably on a late stoppage due to cuts or decision, but I was uneasy about it because of the past chin problems. Still, while I thought Margarito would draw him into a war for a few rounds, he'd be smart enough to retreat and move afterwards, and could recover.

Looks like I was wrong. All the props in the world to Margarito, man's got a chin of iron and a ton of determination.

 

Cheers SS and JT1 and thanks for the props. I finally got one right...I was beginning to feel 'Teddy Atlas' for a while there...Guys wasn't that a great fight!?

 

At least I never picked Cotto overwhelmingly like some people did. Whats so laughable about it. I couldn't pick a winner? I called most things right on how the fight went in general. So I was spot on with my strategy.

"Have to laugh at this"

Cheeky ****.

 

At least I gave a summary to some extent. And one thing I did got right, Margarito would be a danger with his power, chin, workrate and stamina. That was correct. Some people who picked Cotto thought becuase he was technically better and more adaptable then Margarito never stood a chance. So I did share something.

 

Great call.:good

 

Thanks.:good

 

..............:shock:

Jesus, great call.


..........Now uh..........as to the upcoming lottery numbers?........:think

 

:happy You should have bet on it.

 

I think Cotto would lose even quicker in a rematch. I think this is one of those cases where the other guy just has such a big stylistic advantage, and after the first loss, the "not again..." psychology sets in after a few rounds, making a win in the rematch almost impossible... just like i think Federer will have tremendous trouble ever beating Nadal again after losing the high stakes match at Wimbledon, even if he is the greater tennis player.

 

Margarito abandoned his right cross from distance last night. His best punch IMO. He's a superb long range, aggressive, boxer/puncher. His jab wasn't thrown as regularly as it should have been throughout the fight. He should have been boxing aggressively instead of going in with nothing before he got inside and had success. Margarito just never pulled the trigger at long range last night. It's not like him.

He could well finish Cotto quicker in a rematch he uses his height to his advantage as he's closing the distance.

 

Yeah, some comedy gold in this one.

This show should get taken on the road. :rofl
