    I think cotto made a mistake here or maybe he really thinks he has the style to beat MAg. Not true. Usually Cotto gets hurt in the early rounds. When he gets hurt (and he will) Antonio's discipline will not let him down. Cotto will get KO'd in 4. MAgarito is an excellent finisher.

Cotto simply decided in the 9th round that he had a nice lead and he could afford to box more. It wasn't anything Mosley landed. It wasn't like Shane turned up the pressure. He just started moving mid round.

        I'm just not completely sold on his chin yet. If I were this wouldn't be close, it really wouldn't.
        cotto gased. he pulled a dlh.

        but that's a non-issue against margarito because he will easily outbox margarito.

          Agree to disagree then.

          I see the last 4 rounds from a completely different perspective than most. Some people actually give Shane all of those last rounds just for moving forward which is absurd imo.

Cotto doesn't have an extremely high workrate, if you watch him he fights for like 30 seconds, then goes backwards bouncing around where he can't fight. He needs the opponent to be inactive to throw is jab. I don't think he could fight all 12 rounds, but well see.


              But if you look at history, this fight will be Cotto's "coming out fight" It will be like De La Hoya-Chavez. Margarito will be Cotto's stepping stone to superstardom.
              apparently you havent seen Cotto fight.

              He was outboxing Mosley fighting backwards, he also did it against Paulie, and against Abdulaev. He fought backwards against Maussa, and Ndou as well.

                  a fighter doing something i consider very feminine is fine with me, plucking and waxing your eyebrows is some *** ****, but none of that factors into why i think he might lose, *** **** and all.

                    because mosleys power didint carry from 135 to 147, at 154 his only signature KO was vargas and thats it.

                      well i actually finds very sexy a guy who shave or wax his legs or eyebrows jajja ok not in an extreme way but a guy with a clean body is just sexy jajaa. .... other wise margarito is no mosley so isnt that accurate... i think cotto can easily see his shots like mm let me think one minute before but is an excellent fight thats a fact....
