According to boxrec.com, this bout is considered to happen in mid September: http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=33535&cat=boxer Did I miss the news about it or was this specific date/timeslot discussed here before but I simply missed the thread about it?
it will happen. Cotto wins this time, but it wll be a war again. I think cotto will this hide more under his defence and land more succesfully and win by MD or somethign like that...
Yeah will happen for sure, big payday for most. I also favour Cotto but like last time a tough, career shortening fight for both fighters.
I am scared for Cotto but hope and think if he sticks to the right plan he can win a UD.Mentally its going to be one tough fight for him. Hopefully Pac softened up Marg enough for Cotto to win.
I really think this is a replay, in all likelihood. Cotto completely outboxes Margo, then gets worn down and outfought by Margarito. This is a bad style match-up for Cotto, and Margarito is not the tough but unskilled fighter he is often portrayed as. The defensive skills are far from on point but he is actually offensively someone who understands his strengths and weaknesses and picks his shots rather well. He wasn't athletic enough to get points on Pac but Cotto will slow down enough to get bashed. I'm not saying Cotto can't make adjustments and do better, even win. He very well might, but I think a similar story will play out.
if cotto leans to pick his spots, hold when needed he could win easily. it all depends how much margario has left hes taken 2 massive beat downs now has been in a few wars with cotto etc his time in the sun might be coming to an end. What weight would this be at tho? 154 if thats the case i might make tony faviourte
Exactly. Bob wanted July/June but Margo's eye won't be ready till Sept. No location aounced yet though
Margarito is bigger then in the first fight. How much does Cotto even weigh ? Margarito may as well be 170 in the ring and he gave Pacquiao hell. Margarito might pull it off again since Cotto is bad with pressure.
he didnt gave pac hell, just landed a big bodyshot because pac got trapped in the ropes while moving. If cotto clinches a lot and moves I think he can pull it off. Im worried though that he might fold under pressure and lose again.I really want to see him redeem himself. The loser of that fight is basically done in boxing.
