knowing how stubborn oscar is...if he loses a close one to whoever he fights in december, do you think he will actually retire? personally i think if its EXTREMELY debatable, we will see oscar come back. Who knows...I really hope he packs it in though, and in my opinion I see cotto stopping hoya in round 5 or 6 to the body. thoughts?
I'd be happy to see that, or a brutal KO with a shot to his jaw. But equally fun is watching him raise his arms in victory after 12, and get carried around the ring, only to be on the short end of an SD.:good
Watching him lose to his former sparring partner would be the icing on the cake though. You have to admit.
Margarito. Chances are DLH would NEVER fight Margarito though. Even if he beats Cotto. He can't risk that embarrassment. :rofl
You think DLH is scared of Margarito but not Cotto?, Margarito couldn't get by Santos when he tried to move up to Light Middleweight twice you think DLH will be too easy for him?
Santos is a big jr.welter at 170+lbs. He also probably hits as hard as DLH or better and comes at you from a southpaw stance. Plus he has a very bad style mesh with Margarito as he likes to lead with his head. The Santos fight was a sloppy affair where Margarito was stopped because Santos couldn't keep his forehead out of Tony's face. That is a fact. Margarito was in that fight all the way until he was stopped by the cut caused by a headbutt. DLH would probably lose to Santos. Santos has lost to Sergey Dzinziruk who I honestly don't see DLH getting anywhere near. Santos also has a date with Alcine soon and he may show up some people. Time will tell.
That's your opinion I guess Lance, I'm picking DLH to win this one by decision. He'll land more and has the power to hurt/stun Margarito.
DLH would still be too dangerous for Margarito in my opinion, if Margarito beats Cotto impressively and shows some stuff I haven't seen before or really didn't expect then my prediction might change, but I'll stick to DLH by decision for now.
I wouldn't rule out DLH hurting Margarito. It could happen. But Margarito has been hurt before and that didn't stop him from plowing forward. You cannot forget that DLH has notorious stamina problems. If he doesn't get Margarito out of there early he loses this one probably by late stoppage.
But Santos sucks, and I dont say that very often about any fighter. Oscar lose to Santos????:rofl Every time Santos steps up he loses, well except when he fights Margo...Wait what does that say about Margo???
