    Why the **** Cotto didn't concentrate downstairs the first time I don't know. Really suprised me. Slowing down a tornado like Marg has one main recepie - dig downstairs!

    Santiago was just too young and too immature to be doing that job. He got caught up in being Miguel’s friend and not his trainer. You could see during the post weight-in debate that he was overwhelmed by the situation.

    Bad advice, a lack of schooling in the trade he was plying, and he didn’t have the guts to say “no” to Miguel.

    At ****ing last, nailed on the money. Cotto had never been a big bleeder before that night. He got a nick late aginst Mosley, and a very smal one, bled badly from the mouth against Zab. Add to the fact the cheat barley laid a glove on him till round 7, Cotto looked like a rottweiler had been having a go at him. The cheat doesnt throw shots correct there is no snap in the shots, he couldnt hurt or mark Garcia. Mosley said Cotto hit him harder than the cheat

    I think Cotto got carried away with how much success he was having hitting Margo's head around. How often do you get presented with a target like that?

    Also, he was enjoying showing off his skills, moving and slipping punches - he got cocky. So he neglected the body attack, especially when Antonio started throwing uppercuts.

    He'd burned up so much energy in the first six rounds that he didn't have enough in the tank. He lost 6,7, 8 and 9, nearly won 10 and then got clocked again.

    It was pretty much over then.

    Bad training camp or not:

    Why would he cheat against a shopworn Mosley, but not against an undefeated Cotto?

    It's up there with "Double the jab" and "Drink some water, baby!"

    Cotto was in a very dark place post-Margo, and he needed a strong trainer. I'm glad he realised after losing to Manny.

    I'm not crying, I'm over the ****ing moon..........

    The bottom line is, you still have not picked nobody. Your sitting on the fence like a shitbag, and you had the nerve to call me out..? for picking Margarito.

    :rofl

    Man up! Man the **** up.

    :lol:

    If you pick Cotto, it will be the wrong pick.

    Your leaning towards Cotto already, i can tell by some of your responses in this thread.

    Antonio Margarito will be the Winner.

    I agree but I've never seen Cotto lacking so much strategy and being so emotional in his approach. Cotto was always cold and systematic.
