I will be pulling big time for my man Cotto, but I'm nervous a bit, Margarito is no damned joke. Any mistake in front of Margarito's power, and it could be a rough night for Cotto.

Go Cotto!

Call it fence-sitting if you want, but I have two end scenarios in my head:

Cotto UD

or

Margarito late stoppage

I'm leaning more towards my Cotto UD pick (55-45) but wouldn't discount the Margarito late stoppage.

There are a couple of things I've been thinking about in regard to this fight:

(1) Cotto likes to take time off in fights (breathers), and I don't think Margarito will let him have them. Ndou, a much more limited fighter at LWW did not allow Cotto time off, and he made his fight with Cotto a lot closer on the scorecards than it should conceivably have been, due to the fact that he took over a lot of the middle and later rounds.

(2) Despite his obvious deficiences I see Cintron as a harder one-punch guy at WW than Cotto, and yet he couldn't put a dent in Margarito (he caught him plenty of times and not one little stagger or sign of obvious distress). However, accumulation may aid Cotto more in this area. Still, I can't see Cotto stoping Margo.

I have lost all my vcash, but I feel vindicated.

I still have a smile on my face; what a fight!!!!!!!

Margarito is made of steel.

What a warrior.
