Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto: I Will Slap Margarito Like a Little Girl

[AnimalisticMeth]

That's not what Miguel said.

Margarito told Miguel that he hit like a girl.

Cotto told him that he'll see how "the girl" (referring to himself) will hit him and toy with him, come Saturday.

That is what Cotto said.

of course you will.

Cotto slaps little girls?

No, because that's not what Cotto said.
The quote is:

"Verás como la niña te da y juega contigo como le da la gana."

Verás = You'll see

Como la niña = How the little girl

Te da = Hits you

y juega contigo = and plays with you

como le da la gana = however she likes.

Margarito is gonna get what he deserves.

Exactly... Miguel will slapp Tony like a little girl, therefore, Cotto's power wont bother Tony, and Tony wins with an 8th round TKO.

In linguistics, the title thread is what one would refer to as "an ambiguous statement".

Is it saying:

a-) Cotto will hit Tony like a little girl (as if Tony were a little girl)?

or

b-) Cotto (like a little girl) will hit Tony?

When an additional portion is added to an already developed verb phrase...we get...well, misinterpretations on the subject.

I R SMART.

How unprofessional of BoxingScene to twist quote just to get some hits. Pathetic.
