"I really don't think Cotto is going to come forward in this fight. He's going to run, he's going to box. If he decides to standup and fight against me it's going to be a long night for him."
Antonio Margarito, May 2008
Who's scared? Cotto, the undefeated boxer who has a better resume then Margarito or Margarito who has lost to some bums and has lost 5 times in his career. Some of those losses were against good opponents but some of them weren't. :boxing:
I wonder how proud Margarito is of losing to a bum like Victor Lozoya, is he going to make excuses and say he was robbed? I doubt he was robbest since Victor has lost alot.
He can call it running........I call it boxing.
Cotto is gonna finish what Clottey started in the early rounds.
He is gonna do him like Abdulaev. When you have a guy in front of you who's game is coming forward, Cotto uses his other weapons. He has proven that he can counter punch and move out the way.
You don't need Floyd Mayweather skills to outbox a guy like Margarito, that's how slow he is. The Floyd would put a 120-108 beating on this guy. Cotto will probably get away with a 116-111 type beat down taking a few shots along the way.
It's going to come to a shock to margarito when he realizes that when cotto wants to he can punch hard as hell and his body punches will make Marg crap himself. And when cotto has marg against the ropes, that will be the total self-ownage of margarito. Margarito the most overrated boxer in this sport who has 5 losses under his record and his resume still is crap compared to cottos. His best win is over clottey and that was still a tough fight for him.
I think Margo is talking shit, just to hype himself up. He knows that he can do only one thing in the ring and thats is brawl,but if that failes what he is going to do?Cotto knows what he have to do in order to win, and he is very confident and Margarito is trying to intimidate Cotto, but that is not going to happend. I think Margo knows no matter how many punches he will throw, he'll going to loose to Cotto!
Speaking of the number of punches he will throw in all seriousness; Margarito stated during this interview that he intends to try and break his Compubox record when he fights Cotto on July 26th.
Interesting.
I highly doubt anyone will blow the other one out. But I think it's surprising that Margarito is the favorite press-hype object.
Maybe not, at least he smiles...
Cotto's gonna win this fight. He can do more. If he needs to press, he will. If he needs to box, well, he can do that too. It'll be a tough fight, but I think Cotto just has too much to offer.
Like low blows, lunging in head first and hitting on the spine?
Cotto's gonna win this fight. He can do more. If he needs to press, he will. If he needs to box, well, he can do that too. It'll be a tough fight, but I think Cotto just has too much to offer.
