What Does Cotto Have To Do To Beat Maragrito?

[-Swizzy-]

I think everybody wants to see this fight happen again. These are the type of fighters that are saving boxing. Cotto was winning the fight but the tide turned in the later rounds. He hit Margarito with his best but he kept coming forward.

Question is how will Cottos gameplan differ?

I believe the key is to get Margarito backing up.

he needs to do what he did in the first 5 rounds of the first fight but for a whole 12 rounds. as simple as that.

So when do you plan on paying me?

[Cote]

so basically you are asking Cotto, who mind you wanted the 8oz gloves in the first place or lest we forget, to wear a glove size 1. he doesnt want to 2. has had very limited or no experience using in what will be his most important fight of his career?

I see jumping at straws is almost an Olympic sport with you

I know that he ALLWAYS wants the small Cleto Reyes gloves and with that wrap around the wrist very high so the glove has more pressure.

It could be bad for him because he has no experience and could limit his speed. I agree COMPLETELY with you.

I could not explain better because I don't know english very well. What I'm trying to say is that this could be a bigger handicap for Tony more than for him based on their styles. You as a fan of Tony don't think that too?

You don't see my point?

not that i want to see a boring fight or anything, but clinch more. cotto didnt clinch enough and traded too much with margs.

Cotto will have to put on his triniwraps and he might be able to do some damage to Margarito.

Margarito has no business in the WW...he should be a MW IMO.
I think with that chin he is almost "unKOable" which makes it a little unfair...also look at his height compared to most WW's...Paul Williams is the only one really who could beat him at this stage in the WW division...it would take one hell of a performance for Cotto or any WW to overcome the odds of beating Margarito...or Williams for that matter.
I think Marg knows this TBH and thats why he wont rematch Williams.
F u c k it though good on the guy but he should definatley move up IMO.

Wear one of these:

cotto gave all he had in the first fight, people for the first times saw wat cotto was capable of but yet couldnt beat margarito... cotto gets ko'd earlier.

[markfrombrookly]

lol.

Seriously, lol.


I could have sworn Miguel already tried most of that ****.

lmao wait for his opportunities. You do realize that Tonys style doesn't allow one to be waiting for opportunities?

Obviously Cotto didnt use a HIGH, TIGHT guard or he wouldnt have gotten nailed with uppercuts all night. And Cotto didnt barely throw any body shots so why don't you go watch the fight again.

I'm a fan of EL CHINGON de Tijuana and would like to see this fight again. I'd definitely like to see Cotto get KTFO, this time out cold, but on to your question.....

I believe the only way to beat him is to back him up by throwing meaningful Combos non stop like PWill did. If you saw in that fight, he would back Marg up here and there and let his hands fly...Now in that fight, Marg fought a different style than he does today but i think thats the only way to get to him ....
