My thoughts on Marg v Cotto

Good post...And I agree on the fact I could also see Cotto winning a rematch. Although extremely tough like you said, I think he could if he changes his gameplan up a bit. I was just watching this fight on my comp. and man I still can't believe the shots Margo was taking.

 

MSTR, you going to make good on the avatar bet? I sent you a PM. No response.

 

MSTR change your avatar you lost the bet

 

I was the first person to make this wager with you. Please honor the bet. Thank you.

 

Ok, mine fits. I know that for a fact.

 

I just love how it's COTTO'S FAULT that your analysis was wrong. Hysterical.

 

Yea. Someone still hasn't figured out how to get off that kool aid kick.

I saw your post about taking a leave of absence from ESB. It make me smile. See ya.

 

That avatar still isn't up??? You didn't need to resize it. That was a lie. And it's STILL not up?

MAKE GOOD.

 

I had been waiting to see what you had to say.

Good to hear from ya mate.


I was a little bit gutted and suprised by the result It was a great fight though and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. If a rematch does happen Cotto can win but I think he has limitations that still might rear their head if he was to fight Magarito again.

 

the only one that thought the fight would be initially one sided was posters like ams who was more inlove with the fighter's skillset disregarding other areas of possibility.

I for one thought that it would be a competitive fight with cotto winning a close UD..there were many others who viewed the fight as 50/50 and it was evident at the number of vcash bets margarito had.

Anyway good post, i think he abandoned the jab when margarito's pressure got to him after getting hurt mid rounds

 

Cotto actually has a lot of ring intelligence. We saw that the first half of the fight....but Cotto's Pride outweighed his Intelligence. He should have stuck to the game plan to box, counter and give Marg angles throughout the fight.

However....I think Cotto's PRIDE and fighting spirit wouldn't let him simply "BOX" Marg who was looking for a "FIGHT". Cotto wanted to oblige Marg constant request for a brawl. When he would do that it looked as if Cotto got the better of the toe to toe battle.

Afterall we would see cotto rally off sharp accurate combos to Margs head and almost everytihng landed. But in those exchanges Marg would touch cotto with less flashy but more forceful offense of his own.

I just think that Cottos pride and spirit were hurt as well as discouraged a bit when Cotto hit Margo with everything he had and Marg would continue to walk him down. Eventually he got worn down both mentally and physically by Margo's relentless attack and constant abuse.

Cotto could out box Marg, but Marg wouldn't all Cotto to.

 

Margo wins the rematch quicker than the first time. He almost won it in the 7th the first fight. Next time it will be in the 7th fa-sho. I know another rematch he won't win, though.
