great fight cotto has the skills and speed to outbox margs to a ud but i dont know how cotto will react to margs if he can take his punches like the first fight and keeps coming with non stop pressure the good thing for cotto is margs is coming off a long layoff and he was stopped in his last fight so who knows if his chin is what it once was also he doesnt get to use his secret equalizer in this fight so ill go with cotto in a ud but a close competitive fight
Cotto really boxed Margarito for the majority of the first fight. In a rematch, I don't expect Margarito to change anything up. I see Cotto boxing him on the way to a UD.
and if marg got his chin permanently damaged, i give cotto a chance of stopping him
Cotto still can't handle pressure, even from a guy that was fighting at 130 last year.
The higher skilled fighter doesn't always win. See Taylor-Pavlik, Froch, AA & Cotto-Margarito 1. And if Marg's chin is cracked, so is Cotto's and Cotto's wasn't titanium to begin with.
pac-cotto fight is a totally different story. why are you using it as a basis? just because pac was moving forward? cotto got mentally beat against pac thats why he looked like that. against a fighter with minimal talent like marg, i cant see him breaking up mentally
cotto has a decent chin
Cotto really boxed Margarito for the majority of the first fight. In a rematch, I don't expect Margarito to change anything up. I see Cotto boxing him on the way to a UD.
I actually give Cotto a slight chance to win this fight unlike before if what Doug Fischer is saying about Margarito getting beat up by bums in sparring is true. I would still have to slightly favor Margarito though.
Probably Margarito by Decision...
Cotto can't handle pressure for shit..it's been proven against Margarito, Clottey, and Pacquiao..
Mosley laid the blueprint and Margarito capitalized on it..you take Cotto's best shots and keep backin him up and he loses focus..Cotto needs Evangelista back..he needs to learn to be a student of the game again and follow his coaches directions..I actually believe that the dispute between him and his Uncle were mainly on his own stubborn ways..and Evangelista isn't a "Yes Man" like Santiago..he lays the law!..and Miguel needs to accept that and get his Uncle back..
If Miguel Angel doesn't get Evangelista back and FAST..than he's never gonna climb that mountain back to the top..he'll drift from a A-Class fighter to a B-Class sort of like a Clottey or Quintana..and he's got greater potential then those 2..just lacks the dedication and focus..
Swallow that Pride Miguel...and become a Champ again..like we all know you can be!..
Cotto would not have much steam on his punches while in full retreatand if he doesn't believe they can seriously hurt Marg......I think Margarito could take them all night if Cotto is just moving away from him and throwing arm punches for the most part.
i agree with that spray but cotto's overall skills is wayyy greater than margarito. if margos chin was permanently damaged, i give cotto a chance of stopping margarito
Pac nearly killed Cotto, Marg will sodomize him.
how does pac beating cotto translate to margo whooping cotto if they rematch?
cotto > margo
comparing pac to margo is an insult
After the last few fights, I think Cotto is a little worse for wear. If he rebuilt and got back on the winning track he might be able to reverse the loss, but nowe I can't see him fairing well.
Margarito again by TKO
Cotto was a great fighter when he faught margo the first time,now it's a totally different Cotto with 2 l's
Margo got this,hopefully this fight goes down soon so tony can probe all the haters wrong
I think Mosley cracked Marg's chin. No way he walks through what he did the first time. If Cotto works body early, unlike he did in the first fight, he out boxes Marg to UD.
