We've seen a few surprising 1st round TKO/KO's this year, JuanMa over Ponce de Leon, Williams over Quintana, and most recently Holt over Torres all spring to mind. Cotto-Margo is going to be an absolute war, too heavy handed guys, both can hurt be going at it from the bell. So, bearing this in mind, is it worth a punt of Cotto to win in 1 round at 66/1. Unlikely, but surely worth a punt at those odds, is it not?
Its worth a small bet with those odds but i wouldn't put any serious money on it. Margo is tough as hell and will be hard to knock out in any round plus i don't think this fight will be an all out brawl. Cotto and his trainers probably realise that if they go for a war there is a good chance he could get beat so i think Cotto is going to use his brain and box more than brawl. Therefore i see him being rather tentative in the opening rounds. Still though at those odds its still worth a small bet. If Cotto lands one of his trademark left hooks then not even Godzilla would get up from that.
I'm not talking serious money at all, I haven't got serious money lol, I mean a score at most. I'd still get around a grand back of that right?
I wouldn't put my worst enemy's fiver on a first round blow out in that fight! Margarito has a titanium/granite alloy chin, and Cotto will be on the defensive for the first round to figure Margo out.
