Awesome! Regardless of what anyone says, this rematch will be a huge success. And yes, he has lost two of his last three fights badly, but make no mistake, Margarito will be ready for this one. People forget that Cotto is damaged goods too, and this'll be more or less a 50-50 fight.
steward will have cotto raping the body, holding turning and firing off quick counters. Margo is getting stopped again in this one. hes done
Margarito shouldn't even be boxing again, let alone destroying another fighter. Man was nearly killed against Pacquiao, his face was actually broken & his Eye is fcuked!
Both seem to be past prime at this point, I think with steward in his corner and some smart technical changes he can pull out a decision win, cotto really deserves to redeem himself. I would like to see this route-margarito->cintron-> 160 title.
I read that somewhere and ive always wanted to ask without being shot down by everyone on here how much impact would the substance found in his wraps have had? At first i envisioned something resembling a plaster cast but i know it took microscopic testing of somesort to confirm that there was anything untoward going on with the wraps...So what sort of impact would Margos wraps have had??
As stated here by few...i dont care what the issues are for either boxers. I want to see this fight go down again. I think Margarito needs this fight more than Cotto does. He lost a lot of credibility.
Margarito himself is on record as saying the pads confiscated from him prior to his fight with Mosley would have been a danger to Shane.
watching both their last two fights, cotto still has something left in the tank when he dominated mayorga in all except 3 rounds until the eventual left hook and stoppage. margarito also surprised us all with the tremendous display of heart and will to fight against pacquiao in a losing effort, a much better performance than the time he lost to mosley. with that, id on't see this fight as an easy fight for each one. cotto would ahve to deal again with margarito's size, physicality and relentlessnes. meanwhile margarito would still deal with cotto's speed and technical boxing ability. cotto must learn to clinch/hold if he wants to stem the tornado. this would be a good fight and let us see if cotto can avenge his defeat.
