Cotto sure has guts. Without Margarito declining a lot since their last fight, Cotto is in for a tough matchup. Maybe Emanual can make help him box to avoid taking the punishment. I do not see it. Margarito's style is just too much, and Antonio is big. Cotto always fights as though he is a big guy and brawls eventually, and Margarito has the size to always beat him. I give Cotto credit for having guts. If only Floyd has the guts of Cotto.
i think they are both damaged, cotto psicologicly and marg phisicly! but they r on even terms and maybe cotto has one more great fight in him, all in all these r the fights that fans want, the drama fights were anything can happen, not the over hyped ones that dont live to expectations!
This fight is so not what it should be or what the first one should have been. But I'll be watching. This fight is pretty much a "whose career is over with" fight. I think Cotto could win, but that isn't my main focus. I really want to see how much effect Pac's beating had on him. I would say that Margo took THE worse beating ever delievered by Pac. So big that Cotto will be at an advantage. Or he might just get his face smashed in by Margo again. Either way good scrap. I'll say 60/40 chance for Cotto depending on Pac's beating (maybe a cut will show, eye swells up quick, etc), his wear and Cotto's training with Stewart. I got to root for Cotto. I hope he expresses the pain he has felt for years on Margo's face. That would feel so good to see.
As much as I hate Margo for cheating, he doesn't deserve to be punished further than what Pac did to him.
I'll be there ringside. This **** will be a bloodbath. When do tickets go on sale? P.S. I met Margarito at the Donaire-Montiel fight... one of the nicest boxers I've ever met (Kermit Cintron's the biggest *****)... obliged everyone with photos, autographs, etc..
How can anyone be cynical about a fight like this? Cotto always gives an entertaining fight and seeing him get his revenge against Margarcheato will be sweet.
This is the kind of fight worth paying for and the kind of fight you want to invite casual fans of the sport to see.
