Cotto's body work in the first fight

[terriblegabe]

From what i recall from the first fight between Margarito, Cotto did not work the body as much as he has done in his previous fights. I just remember Margarito's head snapping back but no body shots.

Do you think he will commit to the body more often?

He did work the body but not like the Cotto we all know and this will be key not just cus the Mosley fight Manny nearly folded Tony over with a straight left hand to the body in the fourth round of their fight

Cotto's bodywork is a tad overrated. Where was it against Mosley? Against Pac? against Marg? Mayorga? Abdullaev? He only really hurt two devent fighters to the body, Torres (who was already gassed out) and Quintana.

Judah, but those were low blows.

he fell in love with the jab now.

When he was a body hunter he came forward reckless. He learned cause if he came in rushing in for a body **** he would be wide open. But i believe Cotto needs to work the body. He fell in love with tagging margaritos face for some reason, but margaritos body looked well hidden though if you watch the fight.

I remember him hurting Alfonzo Gomez with a few body shots.

Yup and he knocked down gomez with a jab

he ****ed judah's body up. . . yeah yeah he went low a couple times, but also busted his body up too. . .


cotto didn't really go to the body. . . let him land that left hook a few times and margarito will loose some steam. . . remember when pac hit him in the ribs in the fourth?

With body work I think he has a better chance at beating Tony.

Can't see him to commited on the body though, Cotto might take the revenge route and aim for the eye, which could lead to his demise.

[dj Calleti]

Keep in mind boys, this isn't just any other match up for Cotto. It's quite personal.

I'm interested in seeing how Tony and Cotto will react when Cotto lands the facial shots. Will Tony smiling at Cotto demoralize Cotto? Or will it kick him off his gameplan and make Cotto lunge more in hopes to really hurt Tony.

Cotto just needs to not be the macho man and clinch and not fight off the ropes for 2 rounds and eat 25 uppercuts while doing so!!
