[VIDEO] Arum Calls Margarito to the Podium. Cotto sits his ass back down. Don LAUGHS.

[Uturn]

Cotto didn't want to know it. He really has a dislike for Margarito. Margarito has his number thought I think.

[Monkz]

Because there is absolutely no proof of Margarito ever using dodgy gloves in a fight.


Cool video also. Nice to see Cotto knows his place.

Knows his place? Arum brought Marg up to the podium to talk what do you expect Cotto to do? stand there and not let him speak.

Sleazy move by Arum.

You could see the mood change on the face of Stewart and Cotto, did you see the way Cotto didn't even look at him when he came and shook Cotto's hand?

I think Marg is so confident against Cotto because Stewart said it perfectly, in order for Cotto to beat Marg he has to make Marg go backwards, I just don't see that happening.

Marg will touch Cotto and Cotto will touch Marg, the difference is Marg can take Cotto's shots much, much better.

I think it may be safe to say that Cotto recovered well from the Pac ass whupping and is fighting on and little by little, revamping himself for his second act in his career.

Margarito on the other hand, got his face broken, literally by Pac and only knows how to fight one way. Where Margarito got his face broken is the exact spot that Cotto's jab will land all night as he will try to control the pace unlike the first fight. We don't know if Margarito will be able to sustain much damage anymore.

I think that is the most intriguing aspect of this fight

So you think Cotto will break Marg's face like Pac did?

Bones heal, and they actually heal stronger than before they were broken. The reason Marg had his eye socket broke was because he was taking shots and not being able to give any back.

I think you missed exactly what Stewart said and that is, Cotto was forced to go backwards and that took power away from his shots. A fighter loses a lot of power when he goes backwards.

Marg is going to force Cotto to go backwards, he will have the advantage and press the action. It wasn't the case with Pac because Pac has the foot speed and hand speed that Cotto just doesn't have.

I don't see Cotto beating Marg, it's a bad match up.

When Margarito fought Pac, you can actually tell he had a gameplan, an actual BOXING gameplan, which was jab to try and keep pac on the outside, cut cut cut the ring, and hammer the body, I knew there was no way Pac could knock him out....

Now as far as Cotto's last fight, Not cuz I'm rican, everyone knows i'm not biased, but if people don't see that Cotto looks a whole lot better as a fighter, they're just hating, his footwork looked awesome, THROWING THE RIGHT LIKE A BOMB, defense is greatly improved....

All these are just more factors to contribute to the fight with Margarito... As far as power, I think they have the same amount of power, They both go to the body a lot, it's gonna be a great fight!!!!!!

It's a terrible matchup, lets call a spade a spade.

That said, Cotto can do more damage this time around... Hear me out, perhaps I'm wrong but...

If Cotto can land the same amount of punches on Marg, and lessen the amount of body punches and uppercuts he took from the first fight, say 25% less, could he not pull off the win? The last fight ended in R12, no? Is Cotto's power the same at 154 than 147? What if he has just a bit more pop, not even, let's say it is the same but his extra weight adds some more solidity to his shots, could he not thwart Marg a bit more, remember despite Marg adding weight himself, I'm not so sure this has any effect on punch resistance to the facial area/head...

No I get what Stewart was saying. Cotto has to control the pace and force Margarito back with a steady dose of hard jabs and hooks to the body. Can he do it? I'm sure he can, and I'm sure he can't. It all depends on Margarito. Steward has improved Cotto's endurance, so that is a positive.

He may not break that bone, but his face and the bruising he'll get from here on out will never recover. Before the Margarito fight, Cotto's face never took extreme mark ups. Since then, he marks up easy (note the Pac and Mayorga fight). The beating that Margarito took from Pac makes me believe that his face will be soft from here on out. Cotto's jab is one of the most effective and powerful in the sport and it'll have a home all night. I just think it'll cause mark ups and bruising quite early and perhaps take Margarito out of his game.

I said in another thread, I prefer if this fight takes place in September/October time frame, so both fighters can heal more. I'm just concerned now about Tony's ability to absorb damage like he use to.
