Is Miguel Too Small To Compete With Antonio?
WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (32-0, 26 KOs) easily faces the toughest war of his seven year professional boxing course ward July 26th against tough Mexican Antonio Margarito (36-5, 26 KOs) at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. howsoever, analogous plenteous prosperity analogous Cotto has found in boxing course in which he’s hackneyed fighters analogous Shane Mosley (albeit at a controversial 12-circular judgment), Alfonso Gomez, Paulie Malignaggi, Zab Judah, Ricardo Torres, and Carlos Quintana, none of those fighters are in the same set analogous Margarito. This is the enigma for Cotto, who is shorter at four inches than the 5′11″ Margarito, and is also giving up six inches in extend to the Mexican.
This means that Cotto will subsist en to try and frame it an interior war if he has some hope of alluring the war, and smooth under those circumstances, Cotto will possess to pray that he can somehow hurt Margarito and seize him out. Margarito is far also engaged for Cotto to strike him at a 12-circular judgment unless he’s able to knock him downward two or three seasons in the progress. single knockdown credible won’t subsist enough to strike Margarito, since he’ll subsist unloading ward Cotto accompanying numerous more punches per circular and will credible possess a enormous vantageground in overall punches landed in every circular of the war.
ward the superficies, Cotto doesn’t stand a fortuity smooth accompanying his new jab that he’s newly lettered how to throw. The jab has been effective against shorter fighters analogous Mosley, Gomez and Judah, yet against a combatant accompanying more range and longer arms analogous Margarito, Cotto will find himself advent up direct and acquisition hit without reality able to land his own shots.
This will force Cotto to come interior and war that passage he often does, irksome to out-gun his opponents ward the interior and seize them out accompanying hooks to the piece and midsection. The enigma here is that Margarito has an uppercut that he likes to use against direct fighters analogous Cotto, and will credible snatch him accompanying it anew and anew analogous Cotto bends onward irksome to land his enormous shots.
That’s a going to subsist a enigma for Cotto, since he’s going to need to stay in shut if he has some fortuity of alluring against the taller, longer-armed Margarito. ward the interior, Cotto usually is the single in command, beating his opponents accompanying enormous shots to the midsection and piece and taking most of them out after a number of rounds. howsoever, he’s never faced an opponent accompanying a chin analogous advantageous analogous Margarito, nor the work rate or an interior sport analogous fearful analogous Margarito. analogous things move, Cotto is going to subsist capture pure combustion whenever he tries to stand in shut, acquisition hit accompanying non-obstruct hooks from the side and uppercuts from beneath.
He’s not had to face a combatant that doesn’t obstruct punching analogous Margarito, which has given Cotto time to obtain in his own shots and not focus analogous plenteous ward irksome to protect his frangible chin. In this sheathe, Cotto will possess to conceal up and protect himself plenteous more often since he doesn’t possess a whiskers tough enough to seize the kinds of shots that are raining downward ward him analogous the ones he’ll subsist receiving from Margarito all obscurity lengthy.
The only real fortuity for Cotto is also try and stay ward the superficies, move circular the ring and pick his spots to selectively trade shots accompanying the busier Margarito. Cotto is simply also little to stand and trade accompanying Margarito for full rounds. tell what you want about Cotto, he’s really a little welterweight, who has been able to strike other smaller welterweights accompanying smaller than impressive chins. Carlos Quintana was the exclusion analogous far analogous size goes, yet in his sheathe, his chin was analogous weak analogous Judah and the quiet of the weaker-chinned welterweights that Cotto has hackneyed since influencing up from the daybreak welterweight division.
Against Margarito, howsoever, Cotto will subsist exposed analogous reality also little to extent accompanying the combustion power and size of Margarito. It will subsist analogous matching enormous George Foreman against the smaller, cruiserweight analogous Joe Frazier, accompanying a enormous mismatch resulting. Anyway you want to look at this war, Cotto is equitable also little to strike a enormous combatant analogous Margarito. For that matter, I see Cotto having equitable analogous numerous problems against the tall lanky Paul Williams, who would also credible sheathe Cotto’s ears against in a single-sided mismatch.
