This is a real toss up fight! Too many variables and possible outcomes but I think Cotto gets the decision in a tough close fight that takes whatever both men have left. Cant wait to be in MSG tonight for the great atmosphere and a night of great action packed fights!!

Pretty much. Even if one fighter gets knocked out or stopped in the process, both fighters will take punishment whatever happens. Cotto's going to have egg on his face if he doesn't deliver, and Margarito will showcase his iron chin in the process...

If there's still some prime left in them, it might be spent after the fight is over.

I've been looking forward 2 this fight since they signed it. Great fight the first time and it'll be great 2night again. Plaster or not, cotto hit margarito with everything in the first fight and couldn't faze him at all. Shoulda checked his jaw for plaster lol margarito 12th rd ko in a killer fight enjoy it everyone

Not sure.. here..

Honestly if this was the Margarito going into the Pacquiao fight i would have gone for him.

The eye is the main issue..

But it's hard to see were Margs is at this stage.. took a beating vs Cotto and won.. took a big beating from Mosley. Looked ok in a tuneup and IMO did ok compared to some vs Pacquiao.. but again took massive damage

If the eye is not that much of an issue i see Margarito winning on points/getting robbed.

I've always believed that if ur cheating ur a cheater & who's to say that Marg wasn't on something for the Cotto fight. I've never seen his stamina, chin, or strnt the same after he got cought, oh and black water bottles in his corner either. I see Cotto surprising marg with his shots tonight & even pushing him back with most shots

Marg to finish Cotto off in 10.

Cotto will start off fast, then walk backwards after the 4th and Marg will dominate and break him down.

That would be sad for Cotto. IMHO, for redemption, Cotto needs to KO/TKO.

Or just put a world of hurt, worst than the one Manny did.

Are you going to do predictions for the rest of todays fights?

[loui_ludwig]

Is Cotto stronger at 154 compare to the 1st Margarito fight? Does Margarito still have a strong chin and can he handle Cotto's power at 154? Some analyst say that Cotto will box but that means Marg will come forward and pressure Cotto.

I am rooting for Cotto and want him to win but if Marg's chin and eye holds up, it will just like the 1st fight.
