Whoever roots for margarito has a little boy's penis stuck in their throat.

looks like someone's butthurt

I was VERY surprised by that.

Margarito has definetly slid a bit but no more then Cotto has IMO. Of COURSE Marg looked bad against Pac. Pac's style is all kinds of wrong for Marg, not to mention Pac is about 100x better.

I think the oddsmaker believe Marg cheated in their first fight, as do most people, and that explains the odds.

Idk though. I think Marg still hits very hard and regardless of whether or not he cheated I think he's gonna be a real handful for Cotto again.

Thoughts?

I think it's fair enough. Cotto has been in some tough fights and taken alot of punishment, but at this stage of their careers, since they fought each other Margarito caught up and then surpassed him in terms of the punishment he has taken.

Margarito has had some tough fights in his recent career:

- Clottey (was taking clean shots and had to set a compubox record of punches thrown to win)
- Williams (tough rugged fight)
- Cotto (may have won, but Cotto hit him clean and often for the first 7 rds)
- SSM (skull ****ed Margarito)
- MP (slapped Margarito around and broke his orbital bone)

I don't care how good his chin is, this is too much accumulated punishment when you consider he is in his 30's now and has been a pro since he was 16 or 17.

Alot of this also applies to Cotto, but i think he is more rested and benefits more fomr the fight being at 154.

I would not bet on this fight.

[El Chicano]

he was probably the favorite in the first fight too. looks like I'm gonna be makin' some cash on this one

The entire world except mexicans know margarito had plaster in his wraps.

Sportsbooks know this and the line is set accordingly.

I think its a pretty reasonable accusation since he got caught against mosley.

However after the match, margarito gave like 5 interviews with his handwraps on, how come someone was never smart enough to check them?

Assuming that margarito had plaster in the match against cotto it's as valid as assuming pacman is on roids

[chiguy91]

both are on their way out, but margs has been really inactive, let alone beat to *****. he's plasterless FOR SURE this time around, so we'll see how things turn out a second time around. i think cotto is capable of coming out victorious...

[serv]

Tony wont be able to take the punishment he took last time,cotto was hitting him at will in the first fight and will again in this fight.........cotto by 8th round stoppage

You want to put all your points where your mouth is? All your points Cotto won't stop Marg either by KO or TKO.

[Earl-Hickey]

I fail to see how Cotto can win this fight. I honestly dont belive that Marg cheated against Cotto as the number of shots Cotto took were equal to the damage he sustained, if Margs gloves were loaded Cotto would probably have been hospitalised by that fight.

Marg walked through WAY more punishment against Pac than Cotto did before he was beat to hell and running away from the hopless odds, Marg was still coming forward and he will against Cotto who is not as mobile, fast or powerful as Pac

Cotto still doesnt like to be pressured, he still goes back in straight lines if someone steps over his front foot and comes at him, he still fights the same and will lose the same imo.
