This was the best 24/7 episode I've seen. Lost my Dad around the same time as Cotto did so it was heartbreaking watching him and his Mother talk about that. Then you have the whole hand-wrap controversy thrown in which is a legitimate thing to talk about considering the circumstances. They also added in the funny **** with everyone clowning in training which was good too and something I hadn't really paid attention too before was that despite Cotto boxing Antonio's head off for the entire first half of that fight he didn't look too damaged for it. On reflection I'd say Margarito's eye looks pretty ****ed-up and I hope he doesn't get permanently damaged in this fight, whilst at the same time I hope Cotto gets his revenge but wonder if he has the power to trouble Margarito if the eye is o.k. All-in-all, best episode yet for me. :smoke
Thanks for clearing the red dye thing up. However, I was under the impression DIFFERENT wrap were used in both Mosley and Cotto fights, with both sets investigated by court and only the Mosley ones found illegal. If Margo did not cheat then Cotto got beat fair and square. Unless.....Margo and Capatello used a different set of illegal wraps.. (but surely these wraps are checked after fights too?)
Margarito is ready too early, I'm concerned about him over training like he did for the Mosley and Pacquiao fights
Are you denying he was drained in both fights, I'm 100% sure his weight hindered his performance for the worst in both fights, his big bodied ass weighed in at 145 vs Mosley, and I'm sure cutting the extra 4 to make weight for Pacquiao fight didn't help him neither
Who cares, he's made a career out of shrinking his middle weight frame into a WW to bully the opposition with his size and better suit his lack of skills. He walked in the ring against Pac at like 167 FFS! what kind of dehydration are you talking about?
Cotto claims to be such a warrior but he isnt even willing to put it all on the line, its all fine to feel sorry for him while he's sobbing infront of a camera but in the ring its a completely different issue.
People are really making too much of this Margo is willing to die in the ring ****! C'mon. The only praise he has received in years was due to the pac fight. So he made an allusion to it, mostly because he didn't want to talk about the wraps anymore. At this point, what is Cotto gonna say? Say well I'm willing to die in the ring too? Now that would have made him look like a *****. Cotto has proven he is every bit the warrior that Tony is...Even Kellerman's OCD ass realized this. He's just not gonna say it with Tony less than two feet from him...For my money, if at any point during the rematch Cotto produces a gun from his trunks, Margarito will not hesitate to put his hands in the air
Any elite athlete is willing to give 100% in order to win, and most of the time it's that mental edge that pushes them to get that victory. Could you imagine Jordan telling his opponent this is just a game, my family is what matters, no, why give the enemy any type of edge, Jordan is playing sick balling, **** talking like none other, and pushing off if need be to win, which was all he cared about........and boxing is a physical sport which make his comments 100x worse , a sport which confidence and machismo(Marg a fighter who oozes it) plays a huge role in how fights turn out, he just gave his opponent that much a mental boost for saying for what the world already seen when Cotto took that knee, that he wasn't willing to test those deep waters. For Margarito to know even if he's getting his ass beat, as long as he keeps bringing on the pressure, on a mentally weak fighter like Cotto, who got Ko'ed by Marg once before and submitted him, he can break his will easily once again
