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.
I've been watching some Wilfred Benitez lately. Watching him slip, bob & weave punches on the inside or outside, in the centre of the ring or the ropes is amazing.
Benitez was awesome
Exactly! Me too! I thought Medina would take Juanma late into the fight, but he just DESTORYED him. I didn't expect that shit... That's why I loved tonights card. I actually paid to watch Juanma and the main event. The other fights were just there.
Yeah, I also ordered the fight because of Juanma. I am still dissapointed that the Argentinian gave up from the sound of the bell. He did not throw punches and he did not even get hit cleanly.
I still think it was one of the worst PPV's I've bought :/
Only if you were going for DLH.
What's so bad about it?
All fighters I was rooting for won, and won BIG!
What's not to love? Especially the main event?
Domination.
Juan Manuel Lopez and Manny Pacman DOMINATED!
Victor Ortiz did great, I just hope he gets a big fight by 09. Daniel Jacobs is rising slowly.
Who won has nothing to do with it. It was not an entertaining card, all the undercards were mismatchs and Oscar vs Pacquiao was not entertaining at all. If I hit a punching bag for 8 rounds I would have been more entertained than that.
It was trully amazing to watch what Pacquiao accomplished, but to me, it was not entertaining at all.
The fight I really wanted to watch was Juanma's. Being Puerto Rican I was happy that Juanma won but still I expected the Argentinian to present more of a challenge so he could "test" and provide "experience" to Juanma. The Argentinian posed no challenge, no treat and he did not even get punched cleanly.
To me it has been one of the worst PPV's I have bought. I paid to watch Emannuel, Merchant and Lampley talk thant to actually watch good, exciting, competitive fights.
I'm Puerto Rican and as much as I like Cotto I believe that he cannot win against bigger men who are tough (as Margarito and Williams). He does not have the punching power, ala Felix "Tito" Trinidad", to keep the bigger man away and fear him. He usually wins by accumulating punching damage to his oponents and his "money" body shot. I think that Williams will be too active and too big for Cotto to box him for 12 rounds for a decision.
Williams by KO.
As much as I like Pacman I think DLH will be too big and strong for him. I don't see this fight lasting more than 4 rounds. I think DLH will go out and try to make a statement to the world that he still has it.
