    :think looking at the damage he took from shane and pac my guess is that cottos gonna take this one even tho im not impressed with the mayorga bout i think cotto has much more gas in his tank than margo besides no disrespect to margo but he wont be able to use his "wraps" this time also that damaged eye is not gonna help
    opinions :think

    Maybe Margarito's just has Cotto's number ? saying that though I predict a points win for Cotto this time around.

    Is "it" plaster? Because "it" definitely not skill!

    I Thought he looked better than ever against pac ???

    (credit to pac)

    even tho tony struggled to land on manny
    he was working his arse off .....

    his jab was was quite rapid (for him)
    his workrate was good
    he jabbed his way into attacks (instead of just plodding forward )
    his chin was as solid as ever
    and
    his physique looked sharper than ever

    Even in losing i thought he looked better than ever ????????

    lets remember manny was too small & fast target to hit for tony

    cotto is not
    miguel likes to take his time , set up attacks then step off
    miguel works at a slower pace and his stocky frame is an
    easier target to find .

    if an unfit , sloppy , injured hand mayorga can land on miguel
    and shake him up a few times
    then
    margo will be in cotto's face all night !

    cotto does not like pressure !!!!!!

    he likes to take his time

    i could see miguel getting a very close points win ( but shaken badly a few times)
    but
    i dont like miguel at 154 he was faster and more mobile at 147
    if he is slower that only means one thing tony will find him easier

    i really hope miguel wins

    but i gotta be honest
    i think it pans out exactly like the first fight !

    hope not

    i think margarito has always been the type of fighter who needs a certain fighting style to fight against rather than having it he needed an opponent who helps his attributes

    He took a pasting against Pac, but that's because Pac is a phenomenal athlete who can maintain the intense work rate required to fend off Margarito.

    I doubt he's "past it," although I'll reserve judgement until the Cotto fight.

    Really excited about it actually. I reckon it's gonna be a bloody 12 round war with both of them looking to prove a point. I think Cotto will take it based on Stewards tutoring. He'll devise a careful 12 round plan which will involve throwing just the right amount to fend Marg off, but not so much so that he gasses in the latter rounds and gets walked down.

    That said, I reckon there'll be occasions during the fight where they both suddenly make it "personal" and just trade bombs :D.

    I'm thinking, and hoping that the beatings will catch up with him against Cotto. Cotto needs to learn how to initiate a clinch though.

    Margarito's past achievements should be void. It is not as though he was a HOF'er or anything pre-Mosley.
