Instant Classic: Antonio Margarito Vs Miguel Cotto- THE WAR!

IS that true ?, never heard of anything like that b4.... crazy if true....

 

Good posts, people.

I thought of it as a war when it happened, but after the allegations about Margo, I don't even want to think about that fight, let alone watch it. And to think that I had respect for Margarito... :verysad

 

Of course it isn't true. If it was true, there'd be proof scattered all over the shop, least of which would have been evidenced by that poster himself.

 

There's been NUMEROUS occasions where people have posted videos of Capetillo asking him or better yet - TELLING Margarito that his punches should be solid by now. Let me look around to see if I can find them.

If you know Spanish, the 2nd video Capetillo clearly says "Ya para este tiempo deben de estar totalmente solidos"

Again, this isnt strong enough evidence to automatically say Margarito cheated but it does make you wonder...

 

pretty much sums up my thoughts..

 

definitely a classic. but in light of the allegations that have surfaced this year, question marks (baseless or not) regarding the fight have been raised.

last year, i thought this was fight of the year. i even voted for it for FOTY in some of our threads from the start of january. but the more i think about 2008, and the more i've watched jmm - pac II, i've come to the conclusion that the rematch was A LOT better than cotto - marg. the current top 2 fighters on the planet, in a contested HIGHLY skilled nonstop action fight.

 

Overrated fight.

 

before Mosely, I would watch that fight over and over. Now, don't even care.

 

As someone who attended the fight said. In the second round Margo got to Cotto , a double uppercut while his back to the ropes ****ed up Cotto's nose. He also took some wicked Body shots.

 

The controvesy surrounding margarito now kind amakes this hard to watch. At the time(during the fight) i remember feeling this was really epic and its a pretty rare feeling

 

WTF? :L Cotto was 7-3 up on alot of people score cards, and when i watched the fight live i felt it was an absolute clinic for the first six. But maybe you got some power of foresight that nobody else has

 

True. If they ever fight again, plaster or not, it'd be the same result. Cotto could'nt hurt margs for ****

 

Nice description.

 

right..the logical choice the whole time was that cotto was gonna get knocked and it was so easy to see it!!lmfao...
