Cotto vs Margarita II at 150 lbs...

Cotton will bow down again.

 

Cotto wont surrender the momentum to Margo this time. Cotto will also have the leverage for his power, as his weight wont be on his heels this time, as he wont be retreating most of the fight and surrendering the momentum to Margo.

Only way Cotto loses to Margo again, is if he cant sustain what he's doing and gets tired.

Cotto will keep Margo in center ring this time, he will get on the jab, he will bang the body, step off after getting off to keep Margo turning, its just a case of whether he's able to keep Margo at bay with his activity, or hurt him enough to get his respect in that period.

Its worth pointing out, that even though Manny beat Margo, he had to work his ass off to keep him in his place, and Cotto has always had stamina issues imo, that said, Margo is not what he was, was being hurt by body punches against Manny, so..

 

weight favours Cotto.

 

Cottos getting knocked out cold.

 

That is the irony, Cotto will be doing exactly what he did against Mayorga. Manny Steward has said in the past, that you cant surrender the momentum to someone like Margo, so you can bet your life Cotto will be trying to keep Margo in the middle, that he will try and get his respect, put him in his place this time.

Most important thing Cotto did against Mayorga, was establish his respect.

 

Mexico generally beats PR in boxing. That and Cotto will be mentally crushed by Margarito when Tony doesn't blink after Cotto lands flush. Cotto puts forward a great argument for 8 rounds then gets body shot kod in the 9th. You heard it here first.

 

Cotto = ***** move.

 

They both have recently moved up from welterweight so I don't think 150lbs will hurt either guy. That being said, I really don't see the point to having a catch weight for this fight. Its not like Cotto is coming up from 125lbs or anything cray like Pacquiao has done and both guys were big for the welterweight division.

 

Cotto had two fights at 154 against Foreman and Mayorga. So why does this fight need to be at 150?

At this weight Cotto was the advantage.

It is just pointless and dumb for the fight to be at 150 lbs. **** CATCH WEIGHTS!!!!

Even though it doesn't change my opinion of a comfortable Cotto UD.

 

extremely useless catch-weight. It's like the Williams-Martinez stupid catch weight. They should stop this bull**** once and for all
