Antonio Margarito: "Expect a War With Miguel Cotto"

[gibo]

everyone knows margarito will be coming forward and hunting cotto down. the real question is whether cotto will be a man and stand his ground or run like a coward. and tony knows no matter what the rest of the welterweight division will continue ducking him.

YOU MEAN LIKE DELAHOTO RAN FROM TITO??? COTTO WILL KTFO OF tony WITH THE FIRST BODY SHOT HE LANDS!!!!!!

Margarito Is Not Anywhere Close To "cotto's" Class. So Don't Be Shocked After The "beat Down" Antonio Magarito Is Going To Recieve July 26th. Or Of The Documentary 10 Years From Now Showing "tornado Tony" Pulling Lime Slices Out Of A Corona Beer Bottle With A Hanger Trying To Make Chance For A Taco!

I'm I missing something or does Margie not have FIVE L's on hid record????
Was Margie Hungry against Clottey when he only won due to Clottey Breaking his hand. The breaks came from excessive pounding on Margie.
Was Margie Hungry when Williams took him too school? Did williams not get
broken by quintana who Cotto Destroyed in five??

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

wait and see. Cotto will resort to fouls after he gives Margo his best shots and Margo laughs at them. Cotto will be mentally crushed, and it will be a matter of rounds before he's physically crushed by Marg.

I am, I know Margaritos fans are not because is the only hope Margarito has of winning. Cotto style of boxing is not Mayweathers style of boxing. His boxing is based on offense, not defense he will move and hit Margarito hard. He will switch to southpaw often and keep Margarito guessing. And watching Cotto beat the **** out of a guy that won't go down, he will eventually, is going to be fun to watch.

Miguel's style is possibly the worst style match up for Margarito. Cotto is a boxer/puncher that hits hard, he can outbox Margarito and break him down.
And after he breaks him down his going in for the kill.

I agree with a lot of your points.

I can envision a scenario where Cotto uses his boxing skills to pile up points. And he hits HARD - he's gonna hurt Margarito a lil somethin' in this one. And in spite of what many say, Tony CAN be hurt. Santos did it twice, Danny Perez put him on his ass. He's also susceptible to the body. Given his porous defense and wide punches, Cotto will have plenty of opportunities to counter. Here's the problem:

Margarito doesn't give a ****.

He'll be in Cotto's ass from the get and if Cotto isn't able to get his respect early (which, in Margarito's case, means KHTFO) he'll be in for a long night. Heck, he outboxed Abdullaev and was still getting tagged plenty. Margarito's going to get stronger as the fight progresses, ratcheting up his output and landing against a fighter whose defense is only above average.

This is a great, great match-up and as a fan, I haven't been this excited since Corrales took on Castillo.

This is exactly what most Cotto supporters dont see. Cotto is very hitable. Sure Cotto is a better boxer than Margarito but that doesn't mean Margarito wont land bombs on him. We all know what happens when Margarito smells a knockout.

Can't wait for this fight, it's a real pick 'em.

Margarito will seek and destroy Jotto ...he will try to run and hide but their will be no escape...Margarito blocks alot of the punches thrown at him and i think he developed a better defense after the clottey fight..he took a bit of the clottey style ...that is was frustrated cintron...who managed to hit him a few times...margarito adjusted to his opponent style and conquered him...Jotto is a c+ boxer and will not be able to avoid margarito's punches...it'll be a severe beatdown for Jotto and he may never be the same afterwards...

You get zero cred with that one.

Better defense after clottey? I mean he did learn how to catch and parry some punches not all cause they were landing on his head but his defense really hasnt changed much.
