Comments Thread For: Cotto-Margarito II: May in Las Vegas, June in New Jersey

Cotto better not fight this ***** in vegas.... And idk why arum is trying 2 get this **** done in nj. **** jersey, no offense but this **** should be in msg.

I absolutely agree. The first fight was fought out west in Vegas in the back yard of most of Margarito's fans. This time let's be even handed and bring it east to the city that never sleeps, the largest city in the USA, New York City. They can stage the fight in Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, or the new Meadowlands Stadium.

*** Vegas and Jersey, Bring this **** to Yankee Stadium or MSG, I cant believe Arum even mentions Vegas like really? He lost there already ***head try something else.

Cotto needs a tuneup fight already, i in-activeness wont help if hes fighting Marg or Serg next.

[boguz323]

Cotto by decision.

Margarito would still probably beat Cotto and the funny thing is even if he didn't, how could you really tell whether Cotto beat him at his best if it really came down to it?

Prove that he used plaster, U probly on Cottos nutts and cnt recongnize that he took a knee (he quit), Cintron and Johnson are oviously garbage, but i was answering a question. u probly didnt watch the fight cotto got wobbled in that fight. watch it again.

There is proof that he cheated against SSM. We all know he was not able to use the loaded gloves against him only because he got caught. But he had the intention to do so. Against Cotto, Cintron, Martinez and some others there is no proof but is highly suspected that he did had his gloves loaded. Why? Because against SSM, Garcia and Pac he has proven to everybody with a basic knowledge of boxing that he has absolutely no punching power. Against Pac he even had 17 pounds over his adversary and he couldn't hit at all. So forget about those glorious days when Margo was knocking and destroying Cotto, Cintron and so many others. Those days are gone for the Tijuana Breeze. It was a fake, a lie, an illusion.

BoxingScene.com caught up with trainer Robert Garcia at Friday's weigh-in for his pupil Nonito Donaire's clash versus Wladimir Sidorenko. Robert Garcia also has Mikey Garcia on the card and trains former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito among others.

I kinda want marg to get a tune up win first, but the fact that margarito made cotto quit makes it a somewhat easier pill to swallow.

The fact that nothing is proven about "plaster" on his previous fights the conversation is meaningless. By you mentioning that am a Cotto hater just becuz i sated my opinion for the fight makes u ingonrant. and since the fight is between Tony and Miguel it makes sence to talk about the other fighter dont u think? P.S No proven fact that he used plaster prior to the Mosley bout.

Don't be ******, ******. He got caught during the Mosley fight, that's proof enough that he is a cheater. He was suspended for a year for a reason. Who knows who he cheated against.

I'm a firm believer of "STYLES MAKE FIGHT" and Cheato been a volume puncher with a great chin, bigger and heavier than Cotto will present some challenges for Cotto. I'm convinced that Cheato cheated in the Cotto fight, even if Cheato beats Cotto again, the damage is done, everybody knows Cotto hasn't been the same after that fight.

On their 1st fight Cotto had as much to blame for the lost as Cheato for having loaded gloves. Cheato is a very poor boxer, if you keep him in the middle of the ring, he doesn't have the skills to beat you. Cotto didn't work the body and he never clinch, if you don't have Manny's foot speed, you must clinch Cheato, he is a big, strong guy. Also, Cotto doesn't know how to fight back peddling, he needs some type of offense when he's been pushed and stay out of the ropes, this is hard to do against Cheato, I admit.

Cotto has the skills to beat Cheato easy but I think his mental state will betrayed him and will complicate the fight. He will try to punish Cheato, he will try to stay in the ropes and ****, he'll try to compare Cheato's punch and all those things will benefit Plastermaster.

I think Cotto can win by UD w/ a comfortable lead, but it will be a really close fight, to much pride. Both fighters have taken a lot of punishment lately.

I agree with u. Against Margarito its always important to clinch and to go to the body to slow him down a little. Margo is a guy that always will show up in pretty good shape. But after the SSM he hasnt been able to show any punching power so he wont be able to walk into a hard hitter the way he used to. He use to be mercy-less and unstoppable going forward from SSM to Garcia to Pac he slowed down a little. Maybe is because the doesnt has the "punch" anymore and he is more vulnerable because he can not stop his contrary with his power punch. I have to say Margo is a totally different fighter not after Pac but after SSM. Cotto hasnt looked so great after the Margo fight but is still the guy with the punching power. That should give him the edge he needs if he fights Margo again. Do you agree with me?
