Hypothetically speaking can Cotto beat Marg, if he fights in the pocket more and keeps the fight in the centre of the ring the way he did against Mosley for the first 5 rounds or so?

If Cotto can keep Marg playing defence a bit more and go to the body next time and get some respect out of Marg aswell, can he win?

Or is he not capable of doing that and if he does do it, will he still win etc.

your thoughts.

Cotto will need to clench. Not clenching was a huge factor that depleted his stamina, cos he was boxing Margo's sox's off. He did 12 rounds worth of boxing in 6. I think he needs to pace himself better, his defense increased a lot. Same with his head movement. I think he'll win this time around, with even better defense, a better game plan that can neutralize his stamina to allow him to box for at least 12 rounds and even out his boxing. His boxing abilities also showed he's one hell of a boxer, so being smart enough to do all of this looks so hopeful.

Margo only continues a single game plan with a large volume and high paced bout. Shane Mosley clenches A LOT, and I think that he will kind of lay out the blue print. The only thing I question is how strong is Cotto, if his strength could hold up for his stamina to last 12.
