If Margarito begins to land on him again, and he feels the same force/power in the shots from the last fight, this time from 100% unbricked hands? :think
I think he will get on his bike more, I expect cotto to sweep the early rounds again but this time he is going to be smart about it after round 6 and have his stamina ready so he doesnt gasses, either he wins via tko because of the eye or edges out a close decision, or he totally folds and ends up on his knees again.
I dont think Margarito hits harder than pacquiao, clottey or mayorga. I dont even think the edge in punching power goes to margarito either. He is a Volume puncher with great stamina and a great chin. People have been talking about the added weight as if miguel himself wont be heavier.The Key point for Miguel will be to land and pivot/sidestep to minimize his pressuring momentum. How he deals with the pressure will be more of a key factor than Margarito's punching power.
Oh I don't mean that he's a power puncher in that regard, but Cotto looked clearly troubled by Margos shot's in their first fight, when he took a knee there was a look of genuine fear on his face, like he'd been broken. Now the wrap situation has come out and apparently Cotto beleives that Marg wrapped his hands, and probably attributes a lot of the damage done to him to those wraps So if he starts to feel those shots and they feel the same, regardless of the power behind them, I think it could have an effect on him mentally
Bike wont help him at all. Once he starts getting destoryed again , he will have a mental break down Still cant believe how many peope are picking cotto. The man got Destroyed. Just they everybody said pacman was gonna smash JMM in 4-5. Lol. Cotto is same old cotto. Cant teach an old dog new tricks hut they can try Cotto retires after this fight
And margo wants to destroy him and settke the hand wrap ****. Margo is a beast and nothing will save cotto Margo looks in better same and fighting at a higher weight Margo will be the new champ
Margarito wil have to be landing in bunches for it to have a psychological effect. Margarito has been destroyed also...whats your point. Margarito is a one trick pony why would it be so hard for a more technical fighter to pick up some "tricks". Then again you've had nothing good to say about cotto since the fight was signed so......:finger
No matter whether Margarito's hands were bricked in the first fight or not, Cotto hit him with everything he had and couldn't budge him. Unless Pac destroyed Margarito's punch resistance, I can't see that changing in this fight. Margarito will stalk him all night and wear him down late. But I hope Cotto proves me wrong.
I expect a lot more clinches from Cotto to avoid an inside beatdown.Cotto will outbox the cheating ****stick and hold on for a decision win.:good
i get what your saying..but i think cotto will be fueled by that much hate he wont give a ****...cotto is a warrior..
Cotto via boring UD, I say. Marg will never be hurt and will repeatedly make "come on, let's fight" gestures...
I think being better prepared this time, when the onslaught comes in the 2nd half of the fight, he will be able to see it out til the end, and win on points
