Cotto is Making Adjustments

[KILLA RIGHT]

I love what im hearing he was 4:30 away from a win. With better stamina he will beat margarito

When someone quits in fight one, I just don't see how fight 2 is going to be different.

People were on here saying Cintron would give Margs more of a battle in fight 2 and look what happened.

Margs has a huge mental edge because of that (ask any boxer).

There's no doubt Cotto could conceivably turn the tables, but after that he's working from a huge deficit he has to overcome so he is going to have to dial in to a certain mindset (not going down, not feeling the pain)

Can he achieve it? Maybe.. but historically, this doesn't happen that much and when it does, it's an anomaly.

I think in this case too much is being made of this. Cotto looked like he was ready to pass the fuuck out and had showed a great amount of courage and heart up to that point. At that point what would you have wanted him or any other fighter to do? Its very comparable to the way Vazquez went out but you dont see no one calling Vazquez out for "quitting"? I think Cotto will be smart enought to make some adjustments in the rematch and win a tough fight probably by decision.

but he was losing............oh nevermind

You're boy would have a way better chance in a rematch than Cotto.
I think you know that.

Probably, but in truth I am a bigger Cotto fan than Clottey. But I do believe Cotto can beat Margarito, I just have some doubts whether or not he can make the right adjustments. But I will always support the guy.

The difference is, Vasquez rocked Marquez world, which gave him hope, Cotto didn't faze Margs.

In the mental battle Margs wins, even though Cotto is the better boxer.
Being the better boxer sometimes doesn't matter.

I don't want to say Cotto quit per se, like it's some machismo thing, but he did lose by tko, and it takes a mindset to overcome that.

you may be right I could be wrong I do think its in the realm of possibilities

so your saying 170 is a good weight to be for a welter in-between fights?

I dont think it's a horrible weight to be at after a long layoff/vacation. Besides, I'm sure most of these guys walk around at that. Other than maybe Berto.

Yeah, it's possible. It's boxing. **** HAPPENS for sure.

I wish I was always right bro. I'd quit the day job for sure and be placing bets from Bermuda with my harem of beauties

Cotto should also know more ring generalship. Control the pace, break up his opponent's rhythm using tricks...not dirty but more smarter in the trenches...he could throw combos and clinch, he needs to learn how to smother punches...
