Banal looks like he's got power in both hands.
This should be an interesting fight. No rush though. Both are still young and potential world champions.
A win over Margarito will look good for Cotto's resume. Tough fighter and a high profile win which should force Mayweather to seriously consider fighting Cotto.
I dislike half point scoring, they used to use it in the UK and I thought it was pretty bad. The points system now is fine IMO, they just need to find more competent officials.
+ 1 on this.
Half point system is a half-a$$ed suggestion.
How convincingly should you win a round to get a 10-9 as opposed to a 10-9.5? Slick Ass Boxer/PBF running or clowning around for 2:55, complaining to the ref for 5 seconds and throwing one slapping punch to an opponent's zero punch connect will get you what? A 10-9.5 score?
Sorry man I don't get it.
Box and turn in a higher workrate. Do a Nate Campbell on Juan Diaz and flood Margarito with more punches.
Have to agree that Margarito's punches are wide and sometimes even wild, they hit nothing but air.
Margarito will however give Cotto a tough fight. I see Cotto by UD 116-112.
Cotto looked smug when he fought Gomez. It was as if he was saying to himself, "I'll f@ckin toy with this guy. I'm gonner knock'em down each round." which he almost actually did.
