Can Miguel Cotto Bounce Back?

[The Surgeon]

he looked pretty dejected in the 11th round of the margarito fight. was cotto signaling his corner to stop the fight when he looked over there???

U mean when he'd been down twice? The man was through! Personally i think it was the look of acceptance that it was over.
I think a guy is allowed to look a bit dejected at the point tho dont u.
Apart from that name a fight he has looked scared or anything?

Cotto and his camp already said they'd be back in the ring before the year is out, then they would rematch Margarito next year. Cotto's fine, he'll be back better than ever and more determined to finish an opponent.

Next time he'll be off the bicycle and the body shots will be in play, I think we'll see a more forward boxing style with heavy emphasis on the body. Cotto will come back to heavily punish Magarito and it will be another brutal fight for both with Margo taking the worste of it this time around....Cotto by way of knock out in the 10th

Wow, that's a very optamistic way of looking at things. Let me ask you a question. What makes you think that a forward, agressive style would work better on a fighter like Margarito?

Isn't that what Margarito wants...to have Cotto stand in front of him and trade for 12 rounds? I think that would be suicide and to think that Cotto could KO him in 10 rounds is a fantasy. He was hitting Marg with everything but the kitchen sink and couldn't even hurt him let alone KO him.

Also, to land to the body you must commit yourself inside and drop your hands to punch to the body. That would expose Cotto's chin even more to Marg's uppercuts (His best punch) and that would not go well as we saw in the first fight.

Cotto better be glad your not his trainer.

he was running away from mosley but mosley didn't put the kind of pressure that margarito did.

also when torres had him down he was wobbled. and also when corley wobbled him.

He was boxing against Mosley, very well i might add.
Yeah i know he got hurt in those fights but he didnt panic or look scared did he, he kept his cool and got on with the job all with his poker face on

Absolutely. Cotto only survived to the 11th because he took very little headshots during the first 5-6 rounds. He would get Cotto killed within 6 rounds fighting by those ******ed tactics.

We obviously won't know until he steps back into the ring, but I think he will come back and challenge the top Welterweights again for the top spot.

You seem to think Margo can't be beat'n by Cotto, but that's your opinion. Cotto's best shots are to the body and that never happened for what ever reason, but that was his best chance.

Most of Margo's weight is in his bone structure, chin & face, there's no bones in his abs other than a few ribs than Cotto can break like twigs after a good pounding. The big man has to breath and sooner or later he's gonna get caught by that body shot to drain Margo of air..."you can picture the ending from there."

cotto will be fine.

he didn't make any mistakes that weren't fixable.

he's 27.

he won 4 of the 1st 5 rounds in my book and he showed he is far more skilled than marg like we thought.

if they rematch cotto will win it. i'll be betting on cotto the next time around.

cotto will learn how to clinch better rather than let marg tee off.

cotto will go forward more. he made a mistake of waiting for marg to come in. he should have burst forward , get out before marg gets to retaliate then popshot marg coming at him as well. forward , back out before marg retaliates then catch marg coming in , excape and go forward again and repeat. he made the mistake of constantly going backwards.cotto ud12 over marg in the rematch.

You hould be a trainer, youre like the next Buddy Mc Girt, NYAHAHAHAHA, serious now, Cotto is done for

Do you know when he wants to get back in the gym? ASAP or take a long break
