It was a great fight, one that I enjoyed watching from time to time.
I remember having a fight night with fam and friends. It was jaw dropping. I rooted for Margo and my friends rooted for Cotto. I knew Cotto was going to box and Margo was going to fight. To watch my PR friends faces after the fight was priceless!
Unfortunately, the wrap contraversy has ruined the experience for me, and as a result can no longer support Margo. On the otherhand, I always liked Cotto, after the fight I had a new respect for him and has made me a solid fan of his.
I forget what round it was when he first nailed Cotto with that huge bodyshot but is was sick and Cotton felt it the whole fight.
Im not sold that Pac can take legit, hard body punches.
Cotto landed on his elbows and didnt really get him in the right spot.
JMM hurt him with a body shot.
Can Margarito hurt him to the body?
Great thread...Margo does pack a MEAN uppercut on the inside. It would be tough to land a shot with a target that bounces around you. He'd have to cut the ring off and literally have to throw manny to the ropes and go to town on him. Even then Manny would move away. I'd give Margo a puncher's chance. I do believe if Margo landed a good clean punch...Manny might respect the power.
He's doing the right thing to call out the fighters...and as we all know...there aren't any sanctioned height limits. So...the Williams, Funekas, and Caballeros of the world may campaign at which ever weight class they like.
That being said, I don't like Caballero's dirty tactics in the ring. He does have a big mouth, and he is just "ok" technically. Gamboa is probably the best of the three.
I have Angulo winning with pressure and patience...He may be plodding but he is a pretty good boxer.
Berto makes mistakes and he is usually out of position, I see Angulo taking advantage of that.
You guys are idiots! Tired of yall disrepecting COTTO and BERTO and CHAVEZ Jr.! NOBODY Is going to walk THRU them! Nobody! The DOG will get K.O.ed fukkin' with COTTO or BERTO. Now what? I'll bet all my points on it 2! Will yall? COTTO has done more for this sport than most fighters going today. Show some respect! BERTO has flaws but look at what you have to go thru 2 exploit them. THE DOG is slow as snails and will get bruised up! PERIOD! Who the fukk yall think dude is???? AN A-LEVEL FIGHTER????? Go play some cards or something, and leave boxing to use REAL FANS!
I think Cotto is an exceptional boxer, one that I think would win against Angulo.
Berto, on the other hand, he is definitely high risk. He makes very fundamental mistakes that gets him in trouble. Angulo is a decent boxer. Don't let the "speed" (lack of) fool you. He can cut the ring effectively and hurt something.
Gamboa is going to beat the stink out of Caballero. Gamboa is just a better fighter than Caballero. Gamboa is a more technical, quicker, versatile fighter. Caballero may have a height/reach advantage; I just see Gamboa slipping in and out with ease.
