Margarito: "Cotto Isn't Going To Be My Hardest Fight"

And it almost came true..

 

Nice try, Tony.

 

i think they're both in for their toughest fight.

 

He's never faced a boxer as schooled or as skilled as Cotto ... I think if Cotto fights a smart fight, this will be an easy fight for Cotto.

Margarito won't get past the jab ...

Margarito has lost 5 times. So if this turns out to be his hardest fight, he's in trouble.

 

Cotto is definately not more talented than Santos. He's just taking boxing more seriously most times out. Santos is a true inconsistent boxer. Don't know if Margarito got the good version or the bad version, but I do know he held his own with a much bigger opponent who has world class potential.

 

Does Margo have me fooled, because I have never remembered him talking this much ****. Maybe its to hype the fight, but I thought this was going to be a tuff fight for Cotto. But the last couple of weeks, I'm starting to think its oing to be so one-sided for a Cotto victory 9th round tko

 

Damn ... this fight is a toss up ...

 

U really think so? But hey it could be

 

Its like this bro ... If Cotto boxes then he wins this fight easily ... if he abandons his defense and takes some unneccessary shots then he can get knocked out.

Its not depending on what Margarito does because Margarito has 5 losses ... and he fights the same way every fight ... everyone knows that he comes forward in straight lines and he doesn't know how to fight going backwards.

 

Cotto got this. Margarito thinks he can bully Cotto and throw his wide body shot hooks and uppercut slow ass combination. That only works if the other guy cant counter punch. Cotto can, like Clottey showed in his fight if you counter margarito with the little power he had he hurt him on a few occasions. Margarito does not really have defense to the body he just attacks you more if you try to go to his body and guys back off. Except Clottey. Cotto can stay there and hit Margarito with more precision power shots and then if Margarito gets some good licks he can back off and fight backing up and eat him alive with jabs and right hand counters. Margarito CANNOT fight on the move he can only do his work if you just stand there.

 

Don't forget Margarito spent alot of time leaning forward because of his sprained ankle. As a shorter man it's a helluva lot easier to land counters when the bigger guy can't reliably step back out of harms way.

 

Yep, heads Cotto wins, tails Margo loses.

 

Cotto isn't going to come straight forward like most people that Margarito beat.
