Cotto vs Margarito 2. WHO YOU GOT???)

count me in :good

 

Cotto's an improved boxer since last time, more experience, and he will be in better shape. As long as he fights cleverly and doesn't get too 'involved', I think he takes it via UD.

 

Sadly, so sadly, I fear Margarito is going to win. He's just a really bad match-up for Miguel IMO. I don't buy into all this psychological bollocks at all, Cotto is a warrior and will be confident, but stylistically I just think Margo is all wrong for him. Margo is bigger, stronger, has a great chin, is relentless, and does vicious work on the inside. Cotto doesn't hold when someone is inside on him, and doesn't have the speed needed to comprehensively outmaneouvre the bigger man.

I'd be ****ing ecstatic if I was wrong though.

 

Cotto close UD.

 

As much as I hate to agree I see the fight going the same way as the first.

 

I'm gonna let me heart rule my head and say Cotto pulls it out.

 

cotto tko...margo's right eye closes...

 

I think margarito's eye gets destroyed early and cotto wins tko, if that doesnt happen it will go like the first fight and cotto either makes it and edges out a decision or loses.

 

If Margarito's newly improved "iron eye" holds up, he will win, according to logic. Cotto has two options: Give & Take, like in the first fight, which is a battle we saw he could not win, or run and take, which is to lower his output, try to fight smarter and more defensively, which we know he isn't a defensive wizard nor would it fare ware to run and drop his output on Margo when he isn't the best counter puncher. However, I am going with my gut on this and say Margo will lose. Somehow, Cotto will pull it out. I have a sense that the mileage and long layoff for Margarito will affect him and he will get off to a terribly slow start allowing Cotto to accumulate the points, Margarito will not have the power to get Cotto out of there. I have a feeling that Cotto realizes he needs to be in better shape this time around and is working on his cardio to last through the 12, it will get ugly late in the fight, however, Cotto makes it to the finish line and gets the UD.

 

Glass eyes aside

I think Cotto will win a close UD.

Cotto will be better prepared for the onslaught coming his way in the 2nd half of the fight.

 

I can't wait until the morning of Dec. 4th. The flags in PR will once again be at half staff. It will be similiar to when B-Hop threw a bag of rice and beans at Cheatoe and proceeded to **** all over the island and Rican huggers in attendance at MSG.
