Comments Thread For: Team Margarito: Cotto Will Target The Eye, We're Ready

[P4P_No1]

Margarito might be careful for the first couple rounds but his mexican pride will get the better of him & he'll begin to attack with no regard to his eye.

I really hope it isn't an early stoppage.

Cotto's gonna do Margarito like Rocky did the meat in the fridge...

[ChiTown2Diego]

Of course they'll target the eye but i know their primary focus will b the body. They saw him hurt to the body against pac and they know that in Cotto-Margz I, Cotto rarely went to the body. They need a way to slow down Margz and they gotta feel that going to the body will be key especially when everyone is expecting them to target that eye. I'm thinking the eye will hold up fine... externally anyway preventing a referee stopage. Can't wait for this war. THE most anticipated fight of the year for me.

But what will Miguel do if the eye isn't as bad as previously thought and nothing happens?

[B.R!ghteous]

All this talk about Margarita's eye is irrelevant. Cotto hits hard and more importantly can take a shot. His first bout with the plaster wrapped concrete fists proved he could take a beating. This fight will be stopped by the 8th round.

What else is Garcia suppose to say?
I hope they don't hit him in the eye, because the fight might be stopped? And fo course Cotto fights with heart, its the reason he has so many fans.

Man I can't wait for this fight. So many compelling plots, and still no one with any certainty can say who will win. This is what boxing is all about! Lets get it on!

Then Cotto should just box him and keep the fight in the center of the ring.

I think the key points for a victory for Cotto would be:

-Keep your back off the ropes

-Be consistent with your jab

-Use less leg movement

-Hold Margarito more to conserve energy

-Don’t be a head hunter going only for the eye mix it up going to the body

-Get Margarito’s respect early in the fight.

By the way, I’m one of the few who think if Cotto wins it would be on the score cards and not by KO/TKO.

thats because you think w/ your brain while the rest of these idiots swear up n down cotto is some type of wrecking machine lol...your gameplan above would be a perfect one but there's no way margarito lets him fight a perfect fight, he'll definitely get his licks in, no doubt...the question is, will cotto flee from his plan once he feels that heat or will he be persistent...it says here he gets rattled again by the constant pressure n folds up his tent...if cotto wins, he'll do it on the cards, there's absolutely no way he stops margarito, none.

what will happen first round when cotto feels the hands of margo, and surprise! those feel exactly like in 2008
