What must Cotto and Margarito do to win??

Remember just before B-Hop dropped DLH and you heard someone yelling in the background, "body-shot, body-shot", body-shot"!

 

For Cotto to win he has to go at Margarito's body with kill-or-be-killed intensity from the opening bell. Something on the order of the last round of the Pinto fight, only everything to the midsection, every round. Cotto should only go upstairs to throw Margarito off at the body, and then go back downstairs again, repeatedly.

I've already bored the crap out of myself with the Margarito stuff.

 

For Margarito to win, he has to cover his balls when he has Cotto hurt. If he doesn't, Cotto will go south of the border, and play everyone's favorite story, "The Nutcrackher." P.S. I had to write n u t c r a c k e r the other way because all I was getting was *******.

 

You should have just wrote n u t c r a c k e r!
or n utcraker
or nu tcraker
or nut craker..........etc.

 

Cotto: Have good stamina and stay away from the uppercut.

Margarito: Hit the one in the middle:bbb

 

Margarito is basically a forward runner - he doesn't put his weight on the back foot at all, at most spreads his body weight evenly on front and back foot and looks to block head shots with his gloves and to block body shots with his tight arm defense.

Cotto will have to be careful not to fall out of position when punching to the head. But that's why I say he'll be successful with a compact-style, picture-perfect left hook to the body to open gaps upstairs and then double it up up there. Tony may try to double it up inside 2 - left to the body, left uppercut...

 

Margarito just need's to be Margarito...
It's Cotto's fight to lose, Antonio just has to capitalize
on the mistakes Miguel makes in every fight.

Pressure Him & Land the shot's on the inside.
Uppercut's and Body Shot's, and avoid a head but by the Bull like stance of Cotto.

 

I'm going with Cotto. As a good boxer puncher he should box. Margo would try to make dog fight of it. Cotto should avoid it. Cotto should find his range and pick the punches accumulating powershots on body. He should pressure Margo. Coming forward aggresive fighters don't like to be pressured.
