Comments Thread For: Joe Chavez Likes Cotto's Chances in Margarito Rematch

[Hyper Knuckles]

ummm who ever thinks Cotto struggled against Mayorga doesnt know boxing... watch the fight for a second time or third maybe and you will see.... he was just taking his time and boxing around the ring with an IDIOT!!!! Mayorga might be 38 but he can take a punch and he defenately can throw wild shots that if he catches anyone, they will go down... his not an easy fighter to get by.. Cotto did really good, he actually took his time and didnt fall into Mayorgas games. Mayorga was praying for a lucky punch and got agravated when he noticed he couldnt land anything big against Cotto cuz Cotto was actually patient and boxing Mayorga!!! Mayorga is not a boxer, his a brawler nad he just couldnt handle Cottos boxing skills

Margarito will have no answer for Miguels superior skill. I'm telling you, it'll have fans on the edge of their seats for however long it lasts but if Steward prepares him like I think he'll be trained, Cotto will smoke Marg on pts and the left hook will keep landing flush with authority, en route to a stoppage. He's always had the potential to beat Margarito. At this stage, it's time for Cotto to fight smarter not harder.

Marg didn't walk through Cotto during the first fight. What makes you think he'll walk through Cotto during the second fight?

He walked through his punches when Cotto exchanged and when Margo's superior stamina took over and Cotto stood still.

Mexicans can preach that margarito didn't use plaster against cotto.and that's cool.but don't preach about him cheating against mosley.seems like everyones mute abt that.not knowing a white object the size of a snicker bar is in your gloves is simply a no brainer given.






Ill stand by what cotto said.The rematch will clarify alot of things.

The white object was a sponge insert that's smaller than a snickers. A sponge will only absorb an irrelevant amount of plaster and any possible damage would only be done to Margarito because it was applied between his bare hands and the wraps. There's no possible way he could've used it before.

No need to get excited guys. Boxing is just a game. Don't tie your ego or self esteem to your fighters.

I see a bloody fight. The thing that bothers me is that Cotto was getting hit frequently during the mayorga fight. I see a UD or late KO by Cotto.

LOL! We've been throught this before. Tito cheated by both the way he wrapped his hands and that he used too much tape.Tape is much heavier/denser than wraps and to make it worse alot more can be applied than wraps which=significantly more power. That's why Tito's record before and after he was caught is so much different,which is even more telling when you consider that the KO's Tito got after he was caught were mostly against cream puffs and a Mayorga who let him11hit him. And Tito's dad actually said he'd always wrapped Tito's hands the same way whereas Margarito most likely didn't cheat more than once. Tito couldn't even hurt Mayorga when Mayorga let him hit him with his hands down. Oscar who's 3 divisions smaller than Tito knocked Mayorga on his butt seconds into the fight. Of course Margarito cheated but the problem is in the context in which you call him a cheater and that is by saying he cheated vs Cotto. Lastly, Margarito's trainer was trying to apply plaster to a sponge. A sponge is going to absorb a very minimal amount of plaster because plaster is too thick and dry. The amount would be irrelevant and the biggest danger would be to Margarito himselfbecause his trainer was trying to apply it between his knuckles and the wraps which would result in Margo's hands getting cut and bruised.

Lmfao ur a fckin loser dude!!! How you sound saying that Margarito probably didnt cheat more than once? lmao go sit in ur corner! None of what u post make sense, ur just typing off ur a** trying 2 back a known cheater!!

I love it how the Kneetards think as Steward as the best trainer ever. The same trainer who has checked Margarito's wraps before, said they were fine and helped Cintron on trying to defeat Margarito.
