Cotto's body work in the first fight

[terriblegabe]

Yeah those uppercuts were devastating to Cotto. I just watched a video of him and his trainer working on protecting himself from uppercuts. Hopefully he benefits from it or its not going be hell for Cotto

[Pugilistic™]

Cotto's body work was certainly not up to it's usual standards against Margarito.

I think Margarito's lack of defence around his face and the fact Margarito did a great job of protecting his body throughout the bout caused Cotto to become a head hunter.

If Cotto plans on beating Margarito this time around, he has to attack Margarito's body more consistently and clinch if Margarito gets too close.

Otherwise, he's in for another loss.

And I think one factor in this fight is what happens once Margarito gets hit in the eye?

In the 1st fight Margs kept his elbows tucked tight as he knew Cotto couldn't hurt him to the head so he protected his body. If he feels any sort of weakness in that eye he might bring his hands up to protect his face which could open him up to Cotto's body attack.

Or Cotto could just learn how to through a straight right hand to the mid section, that would probably be a good idea.

That's an excellent point.

Cotto wil be very lucky if Margarito's eye becomes a problem because if Margarito has to protect his head that will open up Cotto's body attack and will certainly increase his chances of victory.

If not though, Cotto is in for a very tough night again.

His bodypunching is overrated

Is there a huge difference when wearing head gear and not wearing head gear?

I mean i know he has been hit in sparring with head gear on but will there be a major difference when Cotto is targeting his eye when he is not wearing any protection...

Man i am pumped about this fight and the whole card.
