Your predictions on the opening round of Cotto-Margarito 2

I expect Margo to jump on Cotto from the opening bell to force miguel out of his comfort zone early and miguel showing a lot of the pivot/lateral movement, landing good solid jabs while margo tries to go to the body.

 

I expect 2 guys to throw punches at each other for 3 minutes.

 

Yep, scrap what I said...Im going with this.:deal

 

bbb:!:

 

I can see Cotto starting off more tentative. Illegal wraps or not, he's still in there with a guy who stopped him. that will always be on the back of his mind. So he needs to look at what happened the first fight, what went right the first 6 rounds, and do his best to replicate it, but at a better pace.

I still expect it to look more like the first bout. Cotto looking good early, but Margarito's pressure catching up eventually.

 

This, if Cotto is smart.

 

I'm actually rooting for Cotto in this one. But you're right about how he looked late. And that's not good facing a volume puncher when often times, the other guys upps his output to keep up. Takes them out of their own game plan.

This is do or die fot Cotto. I think he can win, but my gut says MArgarito.

 

This is what people thought when Haye fought Harrison

 

Cotto is going to be hauling ass, and Margarito is going to be trying to walk him down in the 1st. In fact, that's how the whole fight will go. Margarito will eat shot after shot as he comes in, but won't land as much as he did in the first fight, and will lose a somewhat dull UD.

 

Cotto ko1 margarito!

 

Margo surprises everyone by winning the first round by using his jab.
