    If cotto can't get rid off margo in the first 6 rounds cotto will be in trouble, margarito has great stamina and usually turns it up in the later rounds while cotto looks sometimes tired late in the fight, I also think margarito mentality will be a key factor this guy looks very determined and knows what's on the line, margarito mexican machismo and pride will make him win this fight, margarito late tko.

    This fight will come down to pride in the later rounds and that's where margarito's stamina and relentlessness will pay off from all those years of the best ducking him and he's gonna take it out on cotto.

    I really payed attention to what max kellerman said on the countdown and to me it was the truth.

    Max kellerman said:i hate to be miguel cotto on the night that margarito feels like he has finally arrived.

    I think that margarito feels like he finally is in the spotlight and it kinda reminds me of when b-hop fought trinidad,with everybody going for the younger undefeated fighter,but i think margarito's gonna give a great performance and show people why people ducked him.

    I feel sorry for cotto,because margarito might seriously try to kill cotto in that ring and the sad thing is cotto won't quit,but i hope evangelista shows some heart and save cotto's career and well being.

    exactly...I just seen couple of fights from Cotto and especially against Sugar I really dont know what happened to Cotto in the last 4rounds. At about half way through the 9th round Sugar lander a hard shot on COtto and that was it. Cotto started loosing it and began to walk balk. Although Sugar was goin in he really wasnt too confident because he lacked the stamina and Cotto was getting some clean jabs and counters. I think Margaritos killer instinct will win him the fight.

    Bingo. It is Margarito's vastly superior punch resistance that will win him this fight, indeed via a late TKO.

    Cotto's a tough guy, though - I expect him to take a beating and probably hit the canvas more than once en route to a 10th round TKO.:yep

    Marg's too sloppy to consistently land enough amounting in a 'beating' on Cotto while being consistently countered badly himself. Historically, when Marg's countered consisently, his workrate drops in half, so it'll be a non-issue.

    Plus, he's looked dumbfounded when fighters have resorted to stick and move countering.

    An A fighter vs. a C fighter, this is a mismatch Zak. Cotto's been stunned by Judah and Mosely, Marg by Clottey and Williams(two lesser punchers).

    But they are by the non knowing haters on the forums, if Cotto over looks them he sleeps early. I still think Tony beats his ass, I have to wait to be proved wrong.
    but I just dont see How miguel is going to get that body assualt going Tony keeps his elbows tucked in very tight, and to get to that body Cotto has to deal with the incomming along with it.

    We'll see my friend. On this one, I think you are underestimating how shaky Cotto's chin is. After this fight, if I'm right, we're gonna have to put him on "The List!" :lol:

    It's no matter if his chin is shaky, Margarito is sloppy and inaccurate KOs in ACCUMULATION, he doesn't just spark anybody. Cintron's chin is far worse Marg took 5 rounds to beat him down with Cintron giving no workrate or precise work in return.

    Cotto's going to be smothering and nailing this guy repeatedly from the start and his workrate will be low accordingly. While Marg has a good chin, not a great one, but a good one, the accumulative damage he'll recieve for not having a solid defence is going to be very high and it's hard to amount anything specific when you're pulverised to the body and head consistently.

    He's also looked befuddled against opponents doing the old stick and move, all lesser fighters than Cotto.

    You aren't looking at all sides here, nobody is. Marg is not even a top level fighter, he's a glorified gate keeper.

    Wow! I cant wait, seriously Margarito has only had trouble with Big men, not little guys like Cotto. his record proves this Cotto has had trouble with an older Mosley though he won Mosley didnt fire his shots the same way he once did in his prime it was one two and done, Margarito keeps throwing and throwing and throwing.

    Exactly right.

    Margarito has only ever lost to men who were bigger than him and who could easily handle his strength. He has managed to touch every man who has stepped in the ring with him.

    This will ultimately come down to Cotto's resilience. If he cannot stand up to Margarito's shots he is gonna get knocked out. If he can, then he has a significant chance of victory.

    Amsterdam would have you believe that Margarito is a sloppy, predictable fighter. If that were the case he wouldn't be where he is today. He doesn't see reality, only what he wants to see.

    His speed advantage and own underrated defensive prowess will do well to prevent Tony's slow return shots, a shot here and there isn't going to do enough damage because most of Marg's work is arm punches and are easy to see coming. Cotto smothering Marg and taking it inside is his best bet anywya, as Marg is best at mid-range and can't get any levarage inside, there Cotto has the oppurtunity to hit him with whatever he wants consistently and push Marg back(where Marg is never effective).

    If that doesn't work, he's a good enough boxer to counter his silly and win a wide decision.

    Marg's never faced a guy with timing this good, a jab this good and precise combinations this good. But when he's been in with Clottey, who took it inside, smothered him for the first 4 and then gassed with a broken hand, he ripped him up for the first couple of rounds and even stunned Marg with an uppercut.

    NOW, let's picture Cotto, who's quicker, a better mover, more precise, pin point timing, bigger power, more damaging blows and a power shot for a jab in a similiar position....

    Enough of this ****, it's a wash, Cotto by annihilation over a completely overrated and limited fighter.

    He is sloppy and predictable. He does the exact same thing in every single minute of every round in every fight. You don't get clowned by Paul Williams if you are anything great, we saw what a decent (and only decent) fighter did to Williams recently, and the KO doesn't mask all the flaws.

    He's sloppy too, look at the holes in his defence. There is a reason people talk about his chin so much, its because his defence has more holes than Swiss cheese so they always ****in lands on it.
