The fists will fly and the blood will flow when Antonio Margarito challenges WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on July 26. Margarito has trained to the max, he studied Cotto's past performances and appears confident that he will expose the holes in Cotto's game and win without any problems.
"I know Cotto is a tough fighters and therefore we studied his fights. We know that is the past he's been hurt, but he continues to fight and that says a lot about him," Margarito told Primera Hora. "Every fighter has weaknesses, but the public will have to wait until July 26 to see those of Cotto. I won't say anything right now, but it will be an easy fight for me."
Margarito says he is 90% ready for the fight and ready to bang or box with Cotto, but he expects the fight at some point to turn into a brawl.
"This will be a great fight for both, there is no doubt about that. I have prepared myself like never before. I've worked on my boxing in case Cotto decides to make it a boxing match and I've worked on my fighting if he decides to make it a fight," Margarito said. "I've always said that the good fights will come sooner or later. It's the fight that the public wants and they will be the big winners in this fight. I know this is the most important fight of my career."
