Comments Thread For: Emanuel Steward on The Cotto Split, Margarito Rematch

[Jack Napier]

bad news for Cotto
Steward tightens up guys' defense
he coulda helped Cotto correct his mistakes from the 1st fight
whoever he gets better tell him to clinch and throw to the body
Tony is gonna fuck him up again regardless though

Yes, Cotto is a good boxer, as Steward stated, yet he hasn't shown he can handle a pressure fighter, since fighting Margarito. He boxed great against Margarito, yet Marg's non stop pressure mentally wore Cotto down, and made him question himself mentally during the fight.

Despite, Cotto being the supreme boxer, Margarito will walk through his punches, and Cotto will have to fight Margarito, as Steward stated during the course of the first fight. Cotto can't give Margarito lateral movement for 12 rounds, nor does he clinch, as Mosley did agaisnt Margarito. He's going to have to chop Margarito's body, but Margarito will be handing out multiple uppercuts for every body shot Cotto attempts to deliver, which will possibly, and most likely make Cotto hesitant.

Cotto was better off with Steward's voice in his corner. This is a tough fight for him.
