Who are you Rooting for AND picking to win?!?

whoooooo! good morning boxingscene!!! any flip floppers out there?!? im starting to get that feeling about margarito myself, though my brain still says cotto. either way i'll be rooting for the tijuana tornado, though i like cotto too...

Rooting for Margo. Obviously I can't predict the outcome but I think Cotto might squeeze out a UD. I have no bias towards either fighter but I'd like Tony to win. Both are top notch, entertaining fighters and I have the utmost respect for both of 'em. Hope y'all enjoy the fight.

This is a great poll, cause reguardless of who's picking who to WIN the fight, the rooting factor is about 50/50

Nice, pretty good poll. :boxing:

here's maxboxing writer cliff rold's prediction... "(Given years of waiting for the sort of notable fight that could truly cross him over from a station as hardcore favorite, the best of Antonio Margarito can be expected this weekend. Given his recent form, Cotto being at his best is almost a foregone conclusion as well. So why Margarito? At the end of the day, he has qualities that Cotto hasn't confronted yet and, unreasonable expectations of the modern age aside, even the best fighters don't stay undefeated if they run up against top foes often enough. Cotto is very good, but I've never been sold on him as a special fighter; even if he were, the special ones lose to. Like Winky Wright against Shane Mosley and Bernard Hopkins against Felix Trinidad, the weight of years should weigh heavy in the fists of Margarito and with one extra caveat. The beard isn't as good as the rest of Cotto, and in a fight between two men who can bang and who are open to be hit, go with the man who takes a better shot. Margarito in a classic.)" I think I may agree with this. I am starting to lean towards Margarito. Whoooo. I am excited!!!!

Miguelito Cotto.

IMHO ... I think Margarito will be too big and strong for Cotto. Cotto has not been in the ring with a true puncher, except Ricardo Torres, and we all know how that went. You can say making the weight killed him and such but the fact is Cotto's chin is suspect. I think Margarito will try to smother him all night long and at one point he will catch Cotto and either KO him or make him get on his bike. I'm Puerto Rican and I will be rooting for Cotto, but the more I think about this fight the more I see Margarito winning it. Hopefully I'm wrong and Cotto wins and delivers another victory for the island of PR. im gettin amped. this fight is gonna be sick!

I'm rooting for Cotto. I give him a slight edge to win, I'm not 100% sure he can pull it off. Does anyone think it will be a close fight?

Cotto, Cotto !

I'm picking Cotto to win, I'm just rooting for a great fight.

Rooting for Cotto (I am Puerto Rican), picking Cotto to win since I believe he is the best fighter overall, having the greater offense in this fight (the perfect mix of speed and power) and the better boxer between the two. just cuz ur pr or mexican dont mean u have to root for the fighter of ur nationality, but i understand. i spoke with a puerto rican today who was pro-margarito. he said he thought cotto was too cocky and that he wouldnt be able to handle margaritos pressure...

I pick Cotto but I am not very convinced. I slightly root for Margarito, because the hype for the victory would be more justified if it is Margarito winning than if it is Cotto... just hoping for a great fight

bump............

I wanted Cotto to lose against Torres, Urkal, Judah, Mosley I'm sick of it, apart from that he improved big time with every fight.

Cotto and Cotto.....I've never been a big fan of his but I like how he fights and he's defintely grown on me after picking him to lose against Judah and Mosley.

I don't care too much who wins but I expect Cotto win. I'd be shocked if Margarito pulled of a victory unless Cotto did something stupid.

rooting for Margarito but think Cotto will win same....................

I like both fighters, but I go for margarito all the way!!!
