Former two-division champion Miguel Cotto is already preparing, mentally and physically, for his return to the ring in 2009. Promoter Bob Arum had said a few weeks ago that February 14 is the tentative date. He returns from the first loss of his career, an eleventh-round TKO to Antonio Margarito. [details]

I was yelling at the TV go to the body go to the body. The thing that prevented Cotto from hitting Marg in the body was allthose vicious uppercuts Marg was throwing. Every time Cotto bent his knees Marg throw 4 and 5 uppercuts with the left or right hand consecutively....Lefty

That is complete bull****. Sometimes you have to create openings when one is not there. That is what very good to great fighters do. So I guess as of right now and back then Cotto was neither.

SAd thing is he didn't hear you

seriously It's really near impossible to hit Margs at his body, Margs hands was low and and one more thing is that Cotto will left his head more open if he did go the body.

I have a fealing that Bob wants the rematch more then what Cottos does, I wonder who gets the bigger check this time? how much will Margarito make for the rematch?

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm duh?

Marg was obviously covering up his midsection very very well the whole fight, elbows tucked in. Yes, his chin was exposed but I guess he knew he could take his shots so that didn't matter.

Obviously I don't know, but I think at most it'll be a split. Margarito won the first match and is the champ, but Cotto is still the draw....

As for the quote, yea, I'm sure that was Margarito's game plan. Cotto is just going to have to come up with a gameplan that enables him to get to the body otherwise he's in trouble again.

everything is impossible if you're not dedicated to your goals...

i think Cotto abandoned any body attack for the mere fact that he found Margarito's head so easy to tag

Marg will take him out again.
