Nice page. Really like the set-up with the 12 rounds and their prediction.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing.

Although with durability he's more or less citing the eye...which makes it a bit more understandable. But still...those are two categories that are definitely Margarito.

Im a huge Cotto fan but to give him the edge in durability and stamina is plain ******ed. Thats all margarito has

Eye or not they were doing analysis on basically their careers. Top it off they all are picking TKO for Cotto.

Seems to me that people in the media are scared to pick Margarito because they don't want to be labeled as a "cheater supporter". If you know what I mean.

No, cause honestly ESPN knows **** about boxing. Their staff is **** only for few exceptions.

WTF you talkin' about?! Cotto's stamina is the stuff of legends. When he took a knee, he wasn't beaten up or tired. He was just giving the fans a dramatic ending to what would've been an otherwise one-sided fight. He was like, "Aaaaaaah, I'll cut the Mexicans some slack and come back in three years and avenge my 'loss'."

I'm kidding by the way, incase anyone's sarcasm detector is off.

Another thing that made me say WTF is the corner advantage to Cotto. Yes it is debatable if you go with the Olympic background but the pro experience can go with Garcia because he was also a boxer.


After reading some stuff from ESPN lately, I'm not sure if I want to ever go again to read up on any analysis from them.

Yea but all 3 picks in the fight credential(including the guy who did the "12 Rounds" thing) predicted the stoppage to be eye related. I don't think they're being delusional and picking Cotto by like a Mosley-esque stoppage.
