    In my opinion, Cotto gets fustrated with guys who can take everything he throws, stays in his face, and doesnt let him be in the rythem that he likes to be in.

    Now... for those picking Cotto to just have an easy enough time with margarito, or for him to even stop him, i am wondering how and why urkal could take what cotto gave, and how an opponent like margarito who is much bigger, much stronger, throws all night long, wont back up and has a granite chin is NOT going to fustrate cotto...

    I said this in my analysis of the Cotto-Urkal after the fight. He was very fustrated in that fight and started trying to throw Urkal around the ring. When Cotto can't hurt his opponent he can get fustrated but I think he has somehwat evolved. If you look at the Mosley-Cotto fight he couldn't hurt Mosley but didn't get fustrated just started to box more. I think that problem may be behind him.

    We shall see if he does't get discouraged against Margarito, who doesn't stop coming, has an iron chin, and has enough stamina to last 15 rounds.

    Come on man.

    How do you expect Cotto to get up for a guy like Urkal?

    Urkal just stood there with his high guard and took a beating.

    The only thing Cotto was frusterate was about how this guy wouldn't go down.

    every fighters is different when it comes down to toughness.....urkal and ndou are tough as ****, the difference is that margo will probably get hit alot more....that's what the rican is gonna bank on....

    i think cotto was more frustrated from dirty tactics and head buts from urkal then anything .

    And that's exactly my point. Urkal took whatever Cotto dished out and it fustrated Cotto into fouling and trying to pick Urkal up. But like I said it think it's behind him.

    He was frustrated against Urkal because Oktay kept blatantly headbutting him, and even cut him with a butt.

    He wasn't frustrated against Ndou. It was his first 12 round fight and he gassed near the end.

    Margarito can fight on the inside or fight on the outside ... he doesn't elect to box even though he can. He likes the contact and has the mexican pride. He's in great shape and has that great stamina that those mexican fighters are known for.

    His chin will stand up to what Cotto is going to bring ... body punching won't be effective either ... both guys cut ...

    Its going to come down to Cotto's stamina and suspect chin.

    urkal- yes, ndou- no.

    I still think Ndou was his finest and most well-rounded 140 lbs performance. I was very impressed with him in that bout.

    For a guy like Urkal? ... what kinda guy is Urkal? ... I thought he was an elitist along with the other fighters on Cotto's WW resume? :blood
