I hope Cotto stops him. But I went with margo by KO. Cotto took a pretty bad beating in the first fight, and was destroyed by Pac not too long ago. I think these fights may have taken too much out of him. Unfortunately I only see one winner
i'd like to see my boy cotto win, if he didnt fight pacman then maybe id say he would win a decision against margo but the psycological damage may be set as he lost his only two fights by ko. im not sure if he is strong enough mentally to stick this one out as cheato will fight the same fight as last time and may even have flashbacks like he did against pac once he took his shots and kept going forward
IT's hard to tell how effective Steward has been in cotto's camp since they had only one fight together against a non threat in FOreman, but yea, steward is more than capable of laying down a good plan for cotto.. And Margarito's chin seems to have been seriously dented from the mosley fight and he didnt look the same in his last bout.. COuld have been the layoff... It'll be more competitive this time.
I like Cotto, but Margo will stop him again, Cotto's bombs did nothing last time, and since both fighters have deteriorated slightly through destruction (Mosley/Margarito and Pac/Cotto) I can see a similar result.
Once Cotto starts getting tired around the middle of the fight due to the amount of pressure Margo is applying you can expect the last fight to start going through his head and Cotto will go to pieces.
Cottos last fight gave me no indication that he can beat Margo he was hardly pressured Manny pressured Cotto to death Margo beat him the same way Clottey was destroying him til he took his foot off the gas late could have stopped him. Cotto may be fresher moved up in weight won easily Margo was battered and sat a year may affect Margo a lot If Margo is still in killing form he should win the exact same way
As long as Cotto's conditioning is good, I can see him boxing his way to a decision. He dominated Margo for the first 6 rounds before basically gassing, so if he can get his stamina where it needs to be to do that for 12 rounds, Cotto all the way.
