    it looks like they're being realistic wit the styles and Cotto will be on the back foot again, but lateral movement was the key and what he lacked big time back in 08..

    looks like a lot of combination and circle..hopefully he can find the body this time around and he can chop some of that pressure off..but I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing thus far..
    He doesn't have to wrestle. Just hold and make the ref break it up and make Margarito have to reset.

    If he tries to move like that for 12 rounds under the kind of pressure Margarito brings he's gonna gas again. And he IS gonna get caught on the ropes, even if it doesn't happen as much as last time. And when he does he's gotta hold.

      Depends who the ref is, more than likely it'll be Mercante jr, he doesn't break clinches that quickly, and Margarito will be trying to wrestle him off and let his hands go..

      I believe Cotto needs to keep pumping that jab, keep it in the center, and chop the body and land combinations, of course clinch here and there, but we know he hates clinching, not sure he'll want that in his game plan.

          Very true my friend . Actually Margarito was hurt 2 times in the body . That's why he eat a lot of punches in the faces cause he got a good chin but he's weak in the body. If I was Cotto I will target AM eyes early in the fight and if Margo start covering his face I will give him the signature left hook to the body.

            Cotto used to fight so front foot heavy he was an easy target especially for uppercuts. He has to cut down the number of left hooks to the body that Margo is going to throw at him and sometimes circle to the right.

            Clinching, body shots and pumping that jab is going to win the fight for him

              Manny hurt him with straights to the body. Cotto throws hooks that Margarito picks off with his elbows. Cotto needs to expand his repetoire of body punching.

                yeah it only makes sense to try and aim for the body if you notice your opponent's chin is strong.

                anyways its good that this new trainer is working on cotto's movement and how to circle the opponent. he needs to keep the fight in the middle of the ring as much as possible like manny did.
