Comments Thread For: Cotto vs Margarito Rematch Finalized For December 3

[paulf]

The benefits of the extra time to heal since the Pacman injuries far outweigh what he'll lose to to inactivity.

Garcia will have him in top shape both physically and mentally.

Cotto is a great fighter, good luck to him, but, War Tony!

I really don't care for this fight anymore .Cotto and Margarito both past their prime and not pay per view worthy .Especially not around xmas time I mean really where does the winner of this fight go from here a fight with Chavez Jr. which Scum bag Arum will put that fight on pay per view to where does it end.Maybe HBO or SHOWTIME but not to pay 50 bucks unless the undercard is good.

Target that ass Margarito ,Target that ass!!!.I wonder which corner Cotto will kneel on this time?

Fixed it for ya.....

Target that eye Cotto,Target that eye!!!.I wonder which round Margarito will get KTFO in this time?

Cotto needs to find a home for that hook.

Cotto getting 5-6 mill w/o ppv and Tony around 2 mill...Cotto is business

If Cotto is getting that much, it's going to be in Vegas.

The only thing that worries me is that Cotto straight left jab. One thing that Cotto can do is do the fake to the body which will make Tony bend and then straight jab him to the face. Margarito is weak with that.

But Cotto is still weak to uppercuts and isn't mentally there. Just giving my honest 2c without talking shit and laughing at his stans.

Dammit I can't wait!!

This is going to be a career defining fight for these two warriors. Being so, both will try to come in at their best physical and mental state. Hence, this fight will come down to who got the style and heart to win. In both these areas, I see Marg has the advantage.

Style match up, Marg is bad news for Cotto. Marg’s relentless style can be beaten by speed, superior footwork, and excellent lateral movements; and Cotto doesn’t have enough of them. Aside from the stamina department, these are the areas that Cotto’s camp should seriously work on.

There should be no question as to who got the bigger heart.

If Margarito doesnt come after Cotto with the same tenacious craziness he did in the first fight, he will get his head pounded in and I see Cotto grabbing an easier than expected decision.

I have to favor Marg in the rematch. We know Cotto can't fight going backwards and Marg is going to come forward all night. In their fist fight, they were both prime fighters and it was a great fight but the pressure eventually wore down Cotto who was much more active and mobile back then.

Now Cotto doesn't throw nearly as much and is getting hit more and more. There's no doubt that Cotto will outbox and win the early rounds, the question is, can he hold off for a full 12?

At this stage of his career, I would have to say no. It's a bad style match up for him and if even the same Marg that came in against Pac comes in against Cotto, we are seeing another brutal fight in which Cotto ends up getting stopped.

Can we get this kid a link...

Maybe a TV too.
