Forget About The Chin - Can Cotto Handle Intense Pressure?

[Left2body]

Why does Greg Maddux strike out more hitters than the majority of other pitchers who throw 95-98 mph? Accuracy, placement, and consistency.

Watch all those fights again the way that I do instead of chatting about them, L2B. Cotto was pecking away with counter shots in every case - playing defense with his counters and trying to get respect. This is counter intuitive to the concept of his ability to deal with pressure.. A perfect example of why he prefers to be the one administering pressure, and why he does not like to be pressured.

Cotto was doing all his best work in each and every of these cases when he was Mr. Offense. Do you know anything about Margarito? He's not going to stop coming, no matter what, at any point, unlike them. ^

Malignaggi by the way, put up a great showing against Cotto because he never stopped punching, and he kept moving inward. Cotto receeded from Paulie Malignaggi because of this. WOW. Now that is telling.

Non of that changes the fact that Margarito is much more open to be countered than either Paulie, Quintana, Judah or Mosley. Cotto was able to counter them "pecking", "Defenseive" counters or whatever label you put on them they were still landing.

I still dont see why you believe Cotto wouldn't be able to counter Margarito.

Cotto is going to knock Margarito out with a brutal combination with 1:53 to go in the 11th round.

Check out 1:43, 1:52, 1:58, 2:53, 4:30 (paulie), 4:36 (paulie)

Counters Paulie with a double left hook for christs sake. Good stuff.

Margarito will bring the pressure for sure, the problem is he throws wide and slow. He's going to get hit often and hard. Harder than he's been hit before. If he can withstand it and deliver damage of his own, it'll be a fight. Otherwise, it'll be tactical and Cotto will win decisively. I don't like this matchup for Margarito. I think he would do better against Floyd.

Of course he can be countered. No brainer.

Way to duck everything I was saying, the thread, and the basic concept.

Thats what I think Mayweathers gonna bring, hes gonna have to lossen up and not get into a hugging match like he did with mosley.

Addison I thought you were above all that "owned" and "pwned" kid stuff.

Highlights.......also if I remember correctly you showed a Margarito highlight video earlier in this thread to illustrate his pressure....now if I was immature this would be the time I used the "owned" monicure but alas I am a man and have put away childish things.
