*Official* Cotto vs. Margarito discussion thread.

Cotto wins....EASILY

Any insightful details as to how? Enlighten me. I'm not just being a smartass either, I really want to know why you think it'll be easy.

This fight is gonna kick ass.

Is this on PPV?

 

[Fedoraoki]

from what i've read it isn't inked yet - cotto's people want more money from the ppv and ticket sale revenue but they are still confident of getting the deal done.

I think Tony has the toughness to take Cotto's power, the pace and the punch to stop Cotto.

one thing is for sure...cotto will NOT be able to take any rounds off.

Truth

im telling you man...it might be tony's night.

 

[mschatz]

Could be...I still say Cotto, but there wont be nuthing easy that night

 

[5acrossYOeye]

i flip back and forth everyday.

Margarito's resurgence since the Williams fight makes it appear like he's peaking just in time for this fight.

I see Cotto going down at least once before winning by late round TKO. Its going to be bloody!

 

[QQQ717]

I was kidding about it being easy, but not about Cotto winning. Magarito has two things going for him and they are a good chin and a high workrate. I refuse to believe that those two things alone can beat Cotto. That and Margarito has the slowest hands eva.

AND...a great uppercut that Cotto will be around to get hit with.

IMO he's faster.

Paul Williams just called. He says you're silly.

Margarito is faster than Cotto?

Speaking of being around to be hit....what's Katsidis up to these days?

 

[mschatz]

yeah yeah...

I think Cotto definitely has the speed advantage over Margs.

However, Margs workrate is going to be very difficult to deal with. Not to mention him being able to walk right through Cotto's punches. I think Margs has better footwork as well and watch out for that uppercut. We do know Cotto can be hit with some of those as seen in the Judah fight.

Regardless, I still think Cotto will win but it will be a very good and close fight.

Just so I'm clear.

You think Cotto is the faster of two.

And you think Margarito's workrate will be difficult to handle, he will walk right through Cotto's puches, he has better foot work, and an uppercut that you think will land.

And yet you like Cotto to win??
