COTTO needs a new trainer! He needs Roach or Steward

[MANGLER]

How the **** can you blame his trainer? 'Makin him lose on purpose?' WTF homey

[MikeBrew328]

I agree there, he had to go to the body early but he didn't, he does need a trainer like margs trainer to motivate him, he pretty much trained himself

I agree. it was evident in the Countdown show. How it said that all Evangelista does is "supervise". One glaring example would be that Cotto was laying against the ropes with his head down......NOTICE TO COTTO CAMP: MARGARITO'S SPECIALTY IS UPPERCUTS. It was like they didn't watch ONE fight of Margarito's in preperation.

Because his uncle made him lose on purpose! Cotto did not throw any Body shots at all! and if he did he would of took some mustard off margos punches.

Worst strategy ever to knock down a Iron chin mexican you have to go to the body.

I thought Cotto was trained very well for this matchup and showed great discipline in executing his fight plan. If he'd been successful going to the body, the fight might have looked different, you're right. But, I expect he would not have been very successful going downstairs. I think he would have left himself wide open for Margarito to land more often upstairs, much earlier in the fight.

No what he needs is better stamina, throwing the jab more and learning how to fight with his back against the ropes. THATS ALL

Mmmm, yes and no. He did need to go to the body more. That much was evident in the fact that Margarito was very fresh going into the last couple of rounds and Cotto was very tired. However, what Cotto needed to do was to tie Margarito up whenever he got his back near the ropes. Even if he fought the same style but went to the body more he would still lose. He moved too much and lay on the ropes too much!

All Cotto needed to do in that fight was learn how to tie up, not lie on the ropes and, yes, go to the body more. He had to fight in the center of the ring, not on the ropes. That is what killed him.

He could very easily beat Margarito if he learned how to tie up every time Marg got in close, if he fought only in the center of the ring and if he went to the body early. His jab was fantastic and he needed to keep using it later in the fight, but, he was just too tired from all the movement. He had to start tying Marg up around the seventh round onwards to stop any forward momentum Marg had. Just jab, jab, wait for Marg to come in and throw a combo then counter, tie him up and walk him back to the center of the ring.

Definitely not! No matter how good his stamina, if he fought off the ropes like that or even better he would still lose. Fighting off the ropes is exactly what he needed not to do! He did a great job of it for the first five or six rounds but you can't do that for an entire fight without tying up. Moving like he did is just too tiring and when you get into the later rounds against someone like Marg, it is very difficult to keep it up properly. Marg is just too big for him to fight of the ropes against. Very few fighters have been able to do that. He needed to keep it in the center and tie up.

There is no Excuse! and Cotto fans are not looking bad its the mexicano fans who sucks.
They have a history of being sour.
What we are saying is Cotto can improve if he had a better strategy, a real fan of cotto will not quit on him! they will still believe he can win! and I believe with the right trainer and gameplan he can win margarito.
Cotto was over confident plan and simple.
