I really like this fight and as a fight fan you have to like this match.Ive been thinking about how it will play out and trying not to be biased about it because im a Margarito fan.Ive come to the conclusion like most Margarito and Cotto fans that are reasonable about the fight that its a pickem fight.If your a fan of either guy there are many factors to worry about.Here's the things i think have to be looked at and let me know if there unreasonable or if i need to consider other factors.
Three fights i look at Cotto vs Ndou-Mosley and Margarito vs Clottey
When i was picking Mosley to win over Cotto i was telling people to look at the Ndou fight because Ndou was very durable and that let him pressure Cotto.In that fight Ndou stayed right on Cotto and Cotto couldnt break him down and he started to gas out and circle backward from the 8th round on.I figured The same thing would happen in a fight with Mosley because of Mosley's durability and it did from 8th round on but i underestimated Cotto in many areas.In that fight Cotto's chin and hand speed held up far greater than i thought and i gotta give him alot of credit there.I look at these two fights because pressure and durability are the two things Margarito is best known for and endurance of course.If your a Cotto fan you gotta worry about how this will play out after watching those two fights.Margarito will put on much more pressure than either of those guys Inflict much more damage and because of his insane endurance have more left in the tank when Cotto starts to tire out around the 7th-8th.If Cotto cant break him down enough or stop him then trying to get through the last 4-5 rounds could be brutal and absolute hell for Cotto.
Margarito had his hands full with Clottey and ate allot of fast crisp shots.Thats a fight you gotta look at because like Cotto Clottey has really good hand speed plus he throws very good accurate fluid hooks like Cotto.The thing you gotta be worried about there if your a Margarito fan is Cotto hits much harder than Clottey.He ****** up all of those shots from Clottey and kept coming but if Clottey hit like Cotto you gotta wonder if he would have gone down and if not what kind of accumulative effect would they have had on Margarito and would it have stopped his constant attack.If it was enough to break him down or back him off then hes a sitting duck for a guy with better boxing skills and fast hands plus you wouldn't have to worry about his attack in the later rounds as much if your abit tired.
The two punches that could win either guy the fight Margarito's lethal uppercuts and Cotto's sledge hammer hooks to the body
Those are each guys best punches and also the two punches each guy is really easy to hit with.Margarito Is a tall welter with a long torso and has a sub par defense.It wont be hard to land those hard body shots for Cotto.Cotto fights on the inside bending over some so he can throw body shots at will and come up with huge left hooks.He's going to be open for uppercuts while throwing body shots and bending down with his guard up high split some when not throwing on the inside.Neither guy is a big fan of holding and neither is shy about slugging on the inside so you can expect they will inflict allot of punishment on each other with these punches.Two other shots to watch out for are Margarito's looping right and Cotto's left hook up stairs.Clottey and others showed you can hit Margarito pretty easy with it and Mosley showed you can get to Cotto pretty well throwing curving right hands.
As even as i see this fight i wouldn't be shocked in the slightest to see a ko for either guy before the 6th.Lets hope for a war and give the winner his props.
