will cotto ever beat tony??

[Sox8055]

When Cotto went to the hospital, he was treated for cuts. Not a broken nose.


I don't get how people are saying Cotto needs to go to the body. Hope they realize going to the body takes commitment and if Cotto does that, he's going to have to **** with Marg, which is a big no no.

I agree, dint ppl hear that it was impossible for Cotto to go to Marg's body? When he would try to go down there, he get swarmed by Marg's headhunting...simple as that...

Ps: I do think Cotto does have a chance at winning a rematch, but he needs to work strong and be smart come fight night

Clinch more? Why would he clinch and lean with the bigger man? He'd get out muscled.

cotto was dominant in the middle of the ring.

he only got in trouble when he was backed up in a corner or on the ropes.

when marg has him backed up he needs to clinch and wait for the ref to break them up.

that'll make marg have to work his way to the inside again. it won't be exciting but it's a way for cotto to win by points.

Cotto can win, he needs to fight the perfect fight

he will

[tjadl6386]

He can as long as he is able to sustain his consistency in the early rounds. Similar to how he was doing it in the 1st half of the fighr. Though that's easier said then done. He'll have to overcome Margarito's offensive style and also find a way to Margarito's body because it's very hard to go for Margarito's head. It's practically made of steel.

I was just watching cotto -v- margarito and if they ever fight again i cant see one way in which cotto can win.
First of all he hit tony flush tons of times with the best shots he has and it just made tony smile, I know people say you can box but in a fight you the idea is to hurt the opponent and if you cant hurt tony he's gona keep walking forward all night long.
Also cotto tried out boxing him and basically didnt have enough gas to keep the pressure off for 12 rounds.
Most importantly is cotto's mind frame, he took a beating in the second half of the fight and when he steps back in there and hits tony again with no effect will he break mentally in just a few short rounds???
The only way i can see cotto winning is that somehow tony has got real old over night and he cant keep going for twelve rounds and that tonys punch resistance just disapears like lacys did after the calzaghe fight.
So apart from the very low odd's of that happening i think cotto only has to chance slim and none and slim just left the building.
thanks.

I think it could be possible, if Cotto can run for 12 rounds.
I had cotto ahead by 1 round in that fight.
However, Cotto is a bit fragile.

Hell no. If panty wearing Chop Chop Corlie had Cotto out on his feet then Margaritoe will beat him down even easier. Cotto is a damn joke to lose to a one dimensional bum with caveman skills like Margaritoe.

[KILLA RIGHT]

All cotto has to do is not stay in the damn ropes and he will win the fight. Simple as that

[Motofan]

He could and he could do it EASILY. Cotto just loaded up on everything hoping to hurt Margarito. He threw and landed everything including the kitchen sink, but he was fighting thinking he could at least hurt Marg. He couldnt. He just needs to do enough to win rounds and not load up so much going for the knockout. He will save energy down the stretch and could be winning the early rounds without having to stand in the pocket to throw, thus reducing the damage he took in the first fight. THen you have a fresh Cotto who won almost every round going into the last half in much better shape then last time. He can win and I expect him to. He just fought the wrong fight last time. I predict Cotto by UD in a fairly one sided fight.

[Mugwump]

Margarito is too big for Cotto. Anyone with half a brain could plainly see AT LEAST a weight division between them on fight night.

Short of pulling a tactical miracle out of the bag I can't see Cotto ever beating him.
