Did anyone notice the bodywork Margs did against Cotto? By the third round Cotto was protecting the body noticeably. I am just saying Cotto is stronger than Pacman to the body(how was Pacman KO'd?). Margs slowed down Cotto through early invested body work, he won by great body work. Cotto lost a lot of stamina from that body work. Pacman would probably receive the same problems. But Margs is bigger with a longer reach, he also throws from awkward angles.
Margarito has no choice but to attack all the way, and I'm sure he knows it. He can't afford to wait until round 5 to get going. His strength presents a challenge. I don't think Pac can hurt him with any one punch. And he could hurt Pac to the body. I think he rushes him and goes downstairs at every opportunity. Problem is Pac is way too fast for him and won't tire. He's got the handspeed, footspeed, and flurries to make Margarito look foolish. Pac will give him chances because he won't be content to box moving laterally all night. There will be plenty of good exchanges. But I think Pac picks him apart and wins a decisive UD.
