Cotto rested the day before the fight, Margarito trained

[Štewie]

I overheard (from the hoods on the corner) that Cotto tapped that fine ass mamacita the night before the fight. That was surely the cause of his downfall!

i think its better to rest rather than train honestly.......im not sure if i believe that story but if you train the day before you run the risk of unwarranted injuries, over extending your body......its just not a good idea before a multi million dollar fight

unless its like light workouts or something.......but even then i would think you'd want to be well rested

[El Dominicano]

I was talking to some people that knew some insiders(not sure if I believe them) and they claimed that Cotto rested while Margarito trained the day before the fight. If this is true do you think this helps a fighter out?

You should rest 2 days before a fight and NO! training a day before the fight isn't good.

[Zocalo]

Given the amount of hate that is being given and thrown out to Cotto. He should just say he had an orgy the night before and that was the reason why he faded late in the fight. He was drained...lol

Some people haven't boxed here ( the ones who didn't know that you don't train the day before a fight)
Some people there haven't boxed, too ( the ones who thought that Margarito is really training a day before a fight)
Other people here haven't boxed, too ( the ones who thought this is an excuse)
Lets just burry this thread

Don't think it would have made much of a difference to be honest

[Da Hammer]

i think its better if a fighter rests actually the day before a fight especially a big fight! but its also all up to the individual because they know their body better than anyone and with how tough margarito is and how great a stamina he has, he might see it better to train the day before just to keep his body warmed up and in sync for when the fight starts!
