Well I dont watch training clips simply because those are put out there to off set the other camp, in other words they may be showing you something you want to see... usally with Roach its bait. However Cotto was able to stay off the ropes for the most part of their fight, but while on the ropes Margarito was able to get shots off here and there and in the later rounds it paid off big time.... if it starts looking like the Cotto fight Mannys power can still pull it out but in that sense it might be too late.
I'm actually worried that Pac might be in the fight of his life here. Too many distractions and I don't think he has the hunger anymore. The guy is one of the richest in the Philippines and he does not have to work actually. He is pretty much set in life. He is basically fighting for Philippine's pride and I don't know if that's enough to win.
I dont know about distractions in camp, we always hear that **** and Manny comes prepaired to win each and every time... he might be in the fight of his life becuase this isnt a ricky hatton who he can steem roll easily this isnt Clottey who will cover up and wait... this fight Manny has plenty of holes in Margaritos game that will allow him to get the job done... Manny should win but dont sleep on Tony...
Tony rarely does the things I think he needs to do to win this fight. Constant, steady pressure behing a good-sharp jab, along with improved defense, would allow Margo to take full advantage of Pac's size deficit. The problem is that tony tends to ignore defense at times, and isn't a great jabber.
Dont let it phaze you Freddy. All you have to do most of the time is consider the sources. Fact is you're one of the best posters around, not just on breaking down fights, or on picking winners (which is for a fact one of the best out there), but more then all that, just showing love and passion for the sport, and supporting it through thick and thin. Youre worth more then 20 of most of the people that take shots at you.
I don't like Margarito. But I hope he at least puts up a decent fight and entertains us... I don't want no punching bag BS or its fixed.
I think this is going to be a much tougher fight then many suspect. Margarito has much to prove and wants redemption of some kind and get a degree of his honour restored. I think he will have some success with the uppercut even with the foot speed and hand speed difference mainly to do with reach and when he will be able to throw it.
