I definitley see Cotto knocking Margo off his feet with a brutal bodyshot but it all depends on if Margarito has the strength and heart to get up.
Will everybody please remember that Cotto went 12 with Mosley last year and never badly hurt him? Now, Mosley is though, but does he take a better shot than Margarito? I see Cotto winning over 12, because i also don't see Margo stopping Cotto. Yes, i know Cotto's history, but whenever he got stunned or hurt in fights it was from a sudden explosive shot. Margarito is more of a heavy-handed grinder, who knocks you out mentally before he knocks you out physically. I don't see Cotto getting KO'ed mentally.
Cotto has to show a great display of boxing skills if he is to beat Margo. So I do see a UD in Cotto's favor.
I don't think so. I'm predicting a fight where both are going to be bombing on each other right from the get go and in that scenario I can realistically see either man getting knocked the hell out. I could be wrong though. I never thought that Vazquez and Marquez could go the full 12 considering their brutal wars, penetrable defenses, and dentable chins, but I was obviously wrong in that instance.
this fight ain't going the distance because both guys will be trying to hurt each other, and their pride in country will induce them into a war....
Margarito is durable. But Cotto brings the pain. Margo is going to take such a bad ass whooping that his corner will have to throw in the towel.
I'm not expecting it to full route either. Both fighters are certified brawlers who's intention is to hurt their opponents pretty bad . . . but I figure one of these guys will back down and try to box . . . so it's not really a distant possibility.
