Cotto Margarito rematch in 2009?

**TEXSTRO** · 09-10-2008, 10:43 AM

????? Cotto fought a perfect fight but couldnt sustain it for 12 rounds. I dont see the next fight going a different route. You can have a million gameplans but they dont mean a thing if your opponent doesnt allow you to execute them......Either way I still see it going either way...Cotto is still a great fighter...

Why not Marg by KO? Hahaha, I don't see this fight going much different. I see Marg walking through Cotto's punches, running him down and KO'ing him.

Cotto fought a perfect fight and still couldn't win.

Cotto fought a good fight, but he did make mistakes, and he's good and versatile enough to correct them.

The thing about Margarito, its what you see is what you get. He's not going to change anything. I can see Cotto winning the rematch by Close UD.

I think if Cotto wants to win he'll have to pot shot and move..Combo and move....so Margo dont touch him..Wait he tried that already.....Why did this let this out so early now I have to wait for June.....And also deal with a million who wins Cotto margo threads till then also...Margo does have one style and one style only....Im picking Margo but I think it can go either way..

Please explaine to me what Cotto did that was so wrong? I keep hearing this from you guys and I don't see it.

If you want to talk about not throwing to the body, then you don't understand boxing.

Cotto can't trade body shots with Marg, it just can't happen. In order for you to throw to the body, you have to be in close with your opponent, do you really think that would be smart for Cotto?

He already was catching upercuts all day, which happens to be Marg's best punch and you want him to stand there even longer taking more punishment?

There's nothing Cotto can do to beat Margarito other than turn into Floyd Mayweather Jr. and that's not happening.

Margarito gets beat by out boxing him for 12 rounds and not getting hit or walked down by him. There are very few if any fighters that can do that. Floyd is the only one that comes to mind. If you stand and trade with him, you will get KO'd.

I think Cotto gets beat even worse in the rematch because Cotto is a prideful dude and he will stand and try and trade more with Marg causing the fight to end even earlier than the first.

Oh i agree. My point was Cotto knows he's going to be the same fighter, and now that he's actually been in the ring with him, he knows what to expect, and knows what to do different.

I say Cotto wins a close UD, but margarito is so strong and with his chin, he's capable of beating anyone from 147-153. If Cotto trades, he loses, but if he fights a smart fight and corrects some mistakes(staying off the ropes mainly) he can and should win.

Cotto by TKO! I will bet all my points on this fight until next year.
