Margarito vs Cotto: The Prophecy

You were off by one round brother but good prediction. Yeah, dammit, and I was incorrect in predicting Miguel could bull Tony around, that never happened, I don't know what I was thinking.

You were off by one round brother but good prediction.

It happened folks, what did I tell you all.

"After the sixth round, Tony will have put enough leather on Miguel for the effects to start taking place and Marg will begin to unleash "shock and awe". This will continue as Miguel puts on his boxing shoes and starts to backpedal. Tony should walk him down and the size advantage will be clearly evident by this point. Tony stops him in the 10th round with Miguel hitting the deck at least twice." This is how I predicted the fight after the midway point, and Tony came through. No disrespect to Miguel, he fought valiently. Tony is the man at Welter right now, and the only fight left is against OSCAR. Let's see it, Oscar needs this fight.

You were the same guy that picked Morales in his 3rd fight w/ PAC(LMAO) Who's laughing their ass off now....... :headbang:

It's ON, see you all in about 3 hours. Remember the phrophecy!!! OK, I was off by ONE round. But the fight happened just as I predicted. Margarito put enough hands on Cotto to make the difference in the fight, after the midway point. He turned on the "Engines" in the 7th and never stopped pressing the game Miguel Cotto. GREAT FIGHT. Miguel deserves all the PROPS in the world. He fought tremendously. He'll be back to fight another day, and I think that was the thought process when the fight was stopped. I sense REMATCH!!!

It's ON, see you all in about 3 hours. Remember the phrophecy!!!

I think Margarito will go for an early attack to see how Cotto reacts to it.

Im pretty sure fireworks wont go off in the first round. I'd love it to happen but both fighters will take it steady enough im sure. I think they may pick it up from the get go; neither guy knows how to back down.

....Marg is going to be game and come forward non stop. That is, until he takes some huge body shots. His demeanor will change, he's going to hesitate to come forward, his will is going to get taken away, and he may quit on his feet basically.

Tony's gonna attack like a rabid dog. Cotto will fight all the way but he'll tire toward the end and Tony wil make his mark.

Im pretty sure fireworks wont go off in the first round. I'd love it to happen but both fighters will take it steady enough im sure.

I've contemplated the outcome and analyzed this fight over the last few days. Here is my conclusion of how the fight will play out: The first round will be true fireworks, with both men fighting for national pride, anything can happen. Margarito has KO'd guys, straight blitzed 'em in 1 or 2 rounds, so he's got a chance to do it in one. Cotto can catch him straight up the middle though, as Tony throws wide shots. If both survive the first round war, Cotto will begin to take over during the next 5 rounds, as Tony has been a slow starter in the past as well. Sometimes he doesn't "Turn on the engines" until about the sixth round and I think Cotto will present enough of a problem that it takes Tony about six rounds to start feeling comfortable enough to unleash his terror. So in kind of a role reversal, if the fight makes it past the first, Tony will be unsteadily the "Boxer" as Cotto surprisingly bulls him around the ring and hits him with heavy shots (first Leonard - Hearns anyone???). Marg will land his shots during this time however, just not very frequently. The only reason Tony will be able to take the early Cotto assault if because of that granite chin he possesses. Keep in mind though, Tony does have momentum changing power and will be dangerous throughout. After the sixth round, Tony will have put enough leather on Miguel for the effects to start taking place and Marg will begin to unleash "shock and awe". This will continue as Miguel puts on his boxing shoes and starts to backpedal. Tony should walk him down and the size advantage will be clearly evident by this point. Tony stops him in the 10th round with Miguel hitting the deck at least twice. Almost but not quite, Tony stops him in the 9th round.

I think you are wrong. Like most big fights Boxing or UFC the first few rounds are usually used as feeling out processes. I think Miguel will be filling out or seeing how Marg fights or what he is in for. Then middle to late rounds action will pick up hopefully ending with some knockdowns.

this is not a prophecy.this is what you wish would happen. this is what you want to happen.there's a big difference.you false prophet.
