Was leaning towards Margo before this news. Leaning more now. Bat **** move by Cotto! Who you picking?
I think Cotto would be VERY hard to change so to drop him after 2 fights is poor work but he said it is due to calender issues. Probably just bollocks and he thinks he is the wrong trainer for Margo. Dawson had the right ability so he is a plank.
Re the op, defence and fitness wins cotto this fight perhaps he felt he'd get better conditioning for amateur style boxing from a Cuban coach
then he needs to sort out his stamina because if he doesn't back Margarito up then is facing a very long night.
the new coach has only trained one pro which is odlanier solis and has been training the cuban olympic team since 1988 making over 20+ gold medalists still steward would have been better.
