do you guys see cotto boxing his way through the margarito fight? on paper it looks like an all out war but im sure his team are drumming into him that this would be a bad idea....
i think cottos skills will carry him through but if it becomes a war i have no idea which way its going....
im still hopefull for fight of the yar!
I think he will. But it depends on Margarito. If Marg starts off slow Cotto can clean up the early rounds. However, if Marg comes out pressuring like he has in his last couple of fights Cotto will have to fight to keep him off.
He will try to box, people are making Cotto out to be Pernell Whitiker because he outboxed Mosley a few rounds bcuz he got gassed imo, Mosley isnt 1/8th pressure fighter Tony is. People will be in for a rude awakening if they think Cotto will be able to take his time and pick his spots vs Marg like he did Mosley. There will be no time to think or rest. Marg will make it a fight, taking punishment to return the favor. Cotto at his best isnt the boxing Cotto, but the hunter destroyer Cotto is. Cotto has to pick his poison
1. Cotto boxes, which is what he does second best(which he is very decent at, but his offense and defense suffers when he does it) trying to box and fight off a relentless tony
2. Come forward which he does best but is clearly outgunned by the bigger stronger man
Marg 9th TKO
Easy question to answer... Cotto always box, it depends what the other fighter brings to the ring. The good thing about Cotto is that he knows when to box and when to brawl....
He'll try to. If he can stick wit it he'll win the fight, I just don't see that happenin. Tony's gonna force Cotto into a brawl, and that don't favor him.
I agree I don't see Cotto boxing for 36 minutes. Maybe 2 minutes per round of boxing and he better be careful of the other minute. That is why he is a 2-1 favorite.
More durable, Margarito or Mosely???
Ooops i put 'when he feels', i meant 'if he feels Margarito is weaker'. As for the question, probably Margarito. But i wouldn't say it is a land slide as Mosley is also very durable.
He'll try to. If he can stick wit it he'll win the fight, I just don't see that happenin. Tony's gonna force Cotto into a brawl, and that don't favor him.
I think Cotto will box. He knows that Margaritos best chance in the fight is if he can turn it into a phonebooth fight, Miguel has been using his boxing ability of late and i feel he will continue to do it and try to avoid stading toe to toe with Margarito, early in the fight. Maybe later on if he feels that Margarito is weaker he will go in for the kill.
We will see, less than one week left now!
