Official Miquel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito & undercards RbR and discussion thread...

[LoadedWraps]

When Margarito first gets Cotto in a corner and starts letting his hands go will it get LOUD in MSG?... Or will it get quiet? What do you guys think?

I really hope I'm wrong, but I can't see anything other than Margarito blowing Cotto away in the mid-late rounds. After watching the 24/7 programmes, I really want Cotto to beat Margarito but the only way I can see that happen is if he attacks that right eye of Antonio but I think Margarito will be extra careful not to expose it. I think Margarito will aim to soak up the pressure in the first half of the fight and assert himself later on when Cotto is less likely to connect.

The one thing Cotto musn't do is seek revenge by going all out for the win because Margarito will keep well away and pick him off with his larger reach.

I don't think Margarito does that. Could be wrong though.

Normally, he's quite aggressive and pressures his opponent. It depends how the fight goes, plus nobody knows how he'll react to taking a glove to the eye. Personally, I see him trying to protect his eye at all costs because it's a potential fight stopper.

9pm est. the main event will be around midnight, most likely, maybe a bit after, taking into account not all bouts will last the entire rounds.
