Mark my words, December 3rd will be Kneeguel's LAST FIGHT!

[tongpo2000]

If that cheating **** can sneak his plaster in again you may be right. Cotto was lighting that ***** up for the first half of the fight. The effect of Margarito's punches will not be as great when his gloves aren't loaded. Cotto will have his revenge, and i hope he puts Margarito in a coma so he can't enjoy all the money he has earned from being a cheating scumbag.

[Kneeguel's Papi]

Of course he doesn't have Pacquiao's stamina, nobody does. But I don't think it's a tough fight as they're making it out to be.

Cotto was winning the first fight until they got to round 8 where Margarito closing in on the scorecards and withering Cotto.

Cotto has to tie up, and work the left hand. That's all.

He landed over 45% of his jabs on Mayorga and Mayorga, while defensively void, he's fairly awkward. Margarito has worse defense and is actually easier to hit. The reason why Margarito can afford to fight his style is because he has a monster chin and has an ENORMOUS pain threshold (how the HELL do you fight with a broken cheekbone from round 4 all the way to the twelfth?! Jesus Christ...).

Cotto ISN'T getting stopped. If anything, he makes it to the final bell in REALLY bad shape but he isn't going to give Margarito the pleasure of being stopped agian. I agree that, in the worst case scenario, Cotto's heart will be his downfall.

However, I can't see that happening. Cotto took a beating from Pacquiao and, I've posted this several times, WON the TENTH round on two of the judges' scorecards in the Pacquiao fight! This was when he was already long gone, on his bike, and fighting to survive. Margarito is not as fast as Pacquiao, nor quick on his feet as Pacquiao. If Cotto can get to the final bell against someone as relentless as Pacquiao who is faster and more technical than Margarito, I can't see how he can't do it against a slower, more damaged, Margarito.

I agree that Cotto won't take a knee again. He is not going to catch flak for that again, against Margarito (of all people), and especially in Madison Square Garden (his house).

I just see too many things in Cotto's favor. He's less battle-worn than Margarito, he has the skills to fix his mistakes, and in the worst case scenario...he'll be fighting in MSG to help nudge the scorecards in his favor in a close fight.

Anyone who criticizes me on my last point knows that I'm right, though. Cotto has the hometown advantage and that influences judges. The Garden is going to be ELECTRIC that night...it's going to be one HELL of a grudge match.

I...can't...wait...

BTW, my prediction thus far: Cotto boxes the first three rounds and wins them with Margarito having four or five moments between them. In the fourth, Margarito starts to swell a little and Cotto starts tagging that area with Margarito becoming more and more aggressive. By the seventh, we're seeing flashbacks of the first fight with Margarito visibly hurting Cotto downstairs. Cotto doesn't look as tired as in the first, but his punches are not as snapping as in the first. Margarito, bloodied up and swollen, begins to outmuscle Cotto by the ninth. Cotto is fighting back in spots and landing combinations that score but have no effect on a crimson-masked Margarito. In the eleventh, the referee calls the doctor to check Margarito and the doctor says that he can't continue.

The Garden goes crazy, NSB shuts down...and another debate will rage on. The scorecards will have Margarito trailing by two points. Boxing writers will question the stoppage as Margarito looks less worse than in his fight against Pacquiao and was coming on strong against Cotto in the eleventh before the referee called time.

A trilogy will be announced afterwards...

This is what I call a damn good post.

I agree with a lot of what you wrote, and MSG will have a pro Cotto crowd, and the close rounds will go to Miguel. I just dont think that Cotto is built to take a lot of shots.

One of the things that kind of pushes me towards is the way that he went at Cintron ko'd Cintron even earlier, and how Segura ko'd Calderon earlier.

I just think that when a "boxer" loses to a slugger/grinder and have a rematch, it seems as if the ghost of the last fight begins to creep in when things get tough inside the ropes.

I'm rooting for Cotto like I did the first time.

Doesn't make me ignorant to he fact however... let's not forget this thread I made pre Cotto-Margarito I.

And, Jack... guess who Htowns favorite fighter is?

[Kneeguel's Papi]

It wasn't bad... however with everything he said.

YOU like Roy Jones.

I love Roy bro.

It was the "if you squint" quote. I have no idea how that thought even began to marinate inside of his head, but that was hilarious.

He's a Floydfag.

I'm not sure what business he has rooting for Margarito. I think he does it to piss of teh Ricans. But from my experience with him he's a lot more like you than he is like me.

He's a complex guy.

[Kneeguel's Papi]

Because Cotto is mulatto. Roy also looks mulatto.

Both are light skinded.

Both struggle when pressured. Both get hurt when backed up against the ropes.

Cotto takes knees, Roy just planks.


Both are masters of surrender.

Hahahaha!!!!

Damn it Jackie...... My girl just said "You're gay. How can you just sit there on your laptop and just start laughing. I wanna see what youre laughing at."

I just said "You wouldnt get it..."

Jack + Luksusova vodka make for a good laugh... however I find the alcohol necessary.

Jacky has changed though - as I was around here a year ago he hated quitters... how come he still supports Margarito then? After seeing Margarito fight with this kind of injury against Pacquiao I really feel he quit against Mosley... I mean a concussion doesn't stop a real man from fighting right Jacky? What has happened to you??? Became soft??? Things are changing around here

[Mr. Fantastic]

Whoever loses can still be milked by Arum. So easy to see that.

[..WaRSpencE..]

Miguel Cotto will more than likely suffer horrific and gruesome BEATING that will result in some kind of life long physical disability.

I dont know if it will be some kind of mental problem, ,speech impediment, or what, but MIGUEL COTTO WILL ALMOST DIE IN THE RING THAT NIGHT.

NOW LET'S GOT THIS OUT OF THE WAY. I DONT WANT IT TO HAPPEN, NOR DO I WISH ANY HARM TO ANY FIGHTER, BUT THAT IS JUST HOW I FEEL.


Poor Kneeguel, I feel so sorry for him.

That boy in your avy better protect that eye, he might lose it really soon, ****in one eyed willy over there.
