Sergio Martinez will fight Cotto in September

[Crazylegs77]

I prefer; Cotto-Margarito in March, Williams in June/July, Martinez in September.

Yes Cotto Margo is a must, but **** Williams let him rematch Cintron or a relevant MW and work his way back up....but Im pretty sure margo will stop Cotto again so then wed get Margo vs martinez and I wouldnt mind that at all.

So Cotto's 2011 Looks like:

Mayorga in March
Margarito in June
Martinez in September (assuming he gets through the first 2)

Not a bad year

I am sorry to say this but if the same margarito turns up that did against pacman, then cotto is not making it to this fight in my opinion

Cotto's got a real corner this time around and Steward tweaked Cotto's game a bit- specifically his hunching stance and his footwork. I think if everything is on the up and up in the locker room before the fight, Cotto will outbox Tony like he did the first fight but won't succumb to the pressure this time. But it could go the opposite way and an even bigger/stronger Margarito will overwhelm Miguel again. But that's what makes the fight so interesting, great clash of styles, compelling storylines. And if it's in Yankees Stadium, then it will be a real event.

Wonder if Margs will take a tune up or just wait until the summer. Would make sense to have them co-feature in a March PPV, but that might be too expensive for Top Rank... would make sense on HBO though.

**** this will be the first i'll be rooting for cotto to beat up on that overrated piece of **** martinez

Doubt it. They are on to the plaster trick. The same Margarito will show up without the plaster wraps and get beat down while he marches forward like a man.

Good post, trust me man I thought about it loads, one thing I know for sure is that Cotto will not be able to knock our margarito, the guy has an iron jaw, unless cotto can load up on his hits and have margo weight drained like it was vs mosley, I see cotto having to fight on the outside using his cycle to survive this.

Honestly, cotto is in my opinion a 147 fighter at his best, margarito can make 147 at his best with the right training but has the body of a 154 or possibly 160 fighter!

Cotto really does not have a great defense, I was really impressed with margo against pac, I see margarito landing his bombs and the fight going the same way as the first

Doubt it. They are on to the plaster trick. The same Margarito will show up without the plaster wraps and get beat down while he marches forward like a man.

Nah man, you must have seen the marg vs pac fight, honestly dont get your hopes up because I seriously think they will get dashed...

Just saw the quote on fighthype:

"I have a verbal agreement from Bob Arum that Cotto will fight Sergio in September," stated Sampson Lewkowicz, world-renowned adviser of Sergio Martinez

Cotto better not step in the ring with Martinez...Margarito will give him a problem as well...Cotto is just too slow at 154...Martinez is much too fast and he's a lefty...

We've seen the best of Cotto...
