I have e-points and real money on Marg and still think he has the advantage but something inside of me tells me Cotto is becoming more and more the favorite in this fight.
I understand all the pluses and negatives each fighter has but the eye of Marg really concerns me. I don't think the wraps had anything to do with for the record.
Not because I want to give Marg an excuse or think that loading your gloves won't matter but it wasn't a brick that fell out of Marg's gloves like most think. It was the wraps, the color of the wraps and when analyzed what elements were found in them.
Saying that, I think Marg might be a little more shop worn and wonder how badly the vision is in his right eye. Cotto isn't the same fighter either but maybe he can box his way to a UD in this one.
As the fight gets closer, I'm starting to think it will be closer than I first thought.

Guess your not really Mexican then :shrug:
He was right about every single thing he said, boi. I agree with him and I'm not hanging on to Cotto's nuts. Margarito is a warrior because he fights like a zombie? Is that right? Yea, he's a good fighter cause he has no gameplan but to get hit and keep going. Its stupid but it has got him this far, with consequences of course. Cotto was winning until he got tired and got hit with a good one.
:bottle::bottle::bottle:

cotto's stamina will definitely be improved. . . he will get 50 miles per gallon, rather than the 25 he did last time. . . margarito is just too easy to hit. . . cotto will transition his offense and defense MUCH better, and more efficiently. . . .
Will he clinch? if not, his stamina will take a hit from fighting on the backfoot again.
Are you a knowledgeable boxing fan? Im not predicting Cotto's going to win because I want him to win, Im predicting he wins because he's the better fighter. Better skills, better boxing, better defense, you seem blinded by your hate of him. Its obvious you want Cotto to lose, but you seem racist and make Mexicans look bad, just like Margarito. Tell me, hows does Margarito do this again? What strategy? What rounds? Body shots? Head shots? What about his eye? You just post without thinking. I put a real prediction on the master thread, do the same and I wont think you're a F****n r3tard.
please........mutherfukker explian to me how cotto is a better fighter than margo??
have you seen the first fight?margo took everything cotto had,took his best body shots,best left hooks,best boxing skills cotto could offer and then taught him a lesson he will never forget,cotto does not like pressure fighter and margo is one of the best in the business,cotto will take a few early rounds boxing behind the jab and moving around using his skills,come round 6-7 he will slow down like he always does,then its margo time,with relentless pace and power he will walk cotto down with head and body shots,he will break cotto's will infront of thousands of crying ricans,thats how its going to go
btw im not racist just respecting a true Mexican warrior
Im leaning to Cotto by decision in a close grueling fight but it wouldnt surprise me if there was a repeat of the first fight. This is a true toss up fight imo.
Cotto has looked way better than Margs over the last few years anyway, I'm also Mexican but I'm rooting for Cotto all the way come saturday, vamos Cotto!

Cheato had cataract surgery wich means that his vision will be alot better than before... no excuses please:no:
I think Cotto has more left in the tank but Margarito's style will always give Cotto trouble because Margarito won't give him room to breathe and if Margarito showed anything in the Pacquiao fight is that he still possesses a great chin and is willing to walk through punches to give them.
I also have my doubts about Cotto's new trainer, jumping right from amateur boxing to pro boxing of this caliber is a pretty big jump. And I hope this guy doesn't try to instill the Cuban amateur style of defense, which is basically to keep a high guard and catch shots as they are coming in. It won't work.
This Margarito will be stronger because he didn't have to starve himself to make weight. He got severely bruised up by Pac BUT he was never dropped or even wobbled. Same in the Moseley fight where he seemed lethargic from weight drainage more than hurt from Moseley's punches. I'm not sure he lost as much vs Pac as people think. It seems he just swelled up. We'll see.
Oh yes he was. Round 10 was the most brutal beating he took and precisely around the time where the ref should've stepped in (if he planned on it at any moment). Pacquiao hit Margarito with a right hook as he was coming in and he was wobbled. Easy to overlook because he incredible recovery, but Pacquiao wobbled Marg. Took him about 350+ punches to do it, but he did. :rofl:
@3:37
I don't think projectxxx is a Mexican but those points you made, it was the same in the first fight too. Cotto has always been the better boxer with speed over Marg but that didn't stop Marg the first time.
I think Marg is all in. I saw an interview with him on Mexican tv and he knows nothing else but boxing. They asked him what his hobby is outside of boxing and he said, "Working out in the boxing gym" hahaha
It's his life, he knows nothing more. I think he feels his eye is broken, can't see it won't matter. He is going to continue to fight until the ref stops it because I don't think Robert Garcia has the authority to stop this one.
When Margarito was interviewed on a PR radio show and they asked him what he likes to do on his time off or what his hobbies are, he had a difficult time answering. My guess is he didn't wanna' come across as boring because all he would say is, "Go to the movies, stay at home..." :rofl:
So I agree, boxing IS his life. There was also an interview with Todd Duboef (?) before the Margarito NYSAC hearing and he was saying how Margarito and his wife came to them in tears I believe shortly after the Pacquiao fight and whatnot. Margarito was worried away that he wouldn't be able to fight again and that he wouldn't be able to provide money for him and his wife. And Todd said that was when they took him to see an eye specialist for him to get the cataract surgery and whatnot. The way he told that story made me feel sympathy for Margarito. We all love to watch the sport and only see ONE ASPECT of these people and that's when they're fighting, it's easy to forget that they are human just like anybody else and to wish him harm or permanent disability upon them is ignorant immature. May the best man win!

No doubt they contributed to it...there were some heavy, well placed shots in there...coming straight underneath to right below the solar plexus...those will sap you...
As far as who's more downhill...I believe Margarito's definitely the more physically worn of the two...with Cotto being the more mentally worn...
All those years of eating punches for success finally took their toll on Margarito...leading to the cracking of his chin by Mosley and the shattering of his eye by Pacquiao...think late Ray Mancini for a comparison....
Also...I know Margarito says he'll die in there, but I'm not so sure I believe that...what happens if he starts feeling a weird twinge in his socket, and his vision gets a little blurry...I think that WOULD affect him and get in his head...
In the end, I don't have the MOST faith in Cotto...don't particularly like him as a fighter anymore either...(I've missed less than 10 higher profile/big fight predictions in the last 5 years, and Cotto was involved in 2 of 'em!)...but I honestly see a lot of factors working in his favor in this rematch...
