I cannot waitt!!!!! My 2 faves fighting each other!!!!?!?! LA BATTLA! I think it's a 50-50 fight now, and I think Cotto is going to start off much better than Tony but I think late on,Tony will catch up to him. It'll be an SD or tko 12 for Tony. Anyway, whoever wants to sig bet,put it in this thread. As I'm not online as much, I need somewhere I can easily find this thread, so I'll favourite it.

How is everything with everyone?Sorry,File Sharing board has been slow,I'll update that in the next few weeks.I see Wacko and Daxx are back,that's AWESOME! Does Wack post often though? I PM'ed that horse Bilbo and he still has'nt got back to me!What's up with him?

I've TOTALLY flopped in the predic contest,Mick has caught up with me from hundreds of points behind. I' haven't been analysing my picks as thoroughly as I used to!

BTW,does Sal come online? Take care everyone. I'll be back here posting regular once my hours at work change!

This will be one hell of a fight, it has the potential to be one of the very best ever. I agree that Tony will have his best chance towards the end of the fight, Cotto rarely turns it up in late rounds or finishes strong.

It's at the back of my mind though because I hate waiting so I'm just blocking it out.

Im actually worried that the fight is being built up so much that it may just turn out to be that of an anti climax.

Hope not, if cotto decides to fight fire with fire and trade with margarito however long it manages to last it should be great fun!!

I am buzzing about this fight, this ones definitely gonna be 1 worth staying up for. I do hope it doesn't end up an anti climax as its been hyped though.

I see what your saying but I think both fighters are too proud to not give it their all in this fight, they both know what to expect once they enter the ring, I think we will see Cotto winning rounds using his boxing skills but when Tony turns up the pressure we might see some trading. I'm sure its gonna be an absolute battle in some rounds.

Carnt wait for this fight they both look in great shape and i dont think either fighter will disappoint in the performance on the night.

It just depends on what you expect the fight to be. You know Margarito is going to come forward and put pressure on Cotto. That is the ONLY way he knows how to fight. And you know what Cotto brings to the table. So basically, I am curious to see how Cotto handles Margarito's pressure. I believe Cotto will trade in spurts, not consistently.

And as a Rican, this is the most anticipated Rican vs. Mexican fight I have experienced and there have been some great ones. This is just another, and one of the most significant, in a long history. Can't wait.

I am staying up for this fight too, it cannot disappoint because at present the two best Welters in the world are fighting.

I am ready I think lol...TBH This bout is one I am really looking forward to...I looked forward to Kessler/Calzaghe/ Calzaghe/Hopkins but this one has me nervous as a school kid.....

I love that anxiety for these big fights...

All I know is that DLH/PBF....PBF/Hatton....IMO hold nothing to this one as far as it being something people want to see...Those were fights of interest almost sideshoe interest if you know what I am saying....

This has the interest of

Leonard/Hearns...Leonard/Duran...Duran/Hearns all over it.....

Dead on with mega fight feel.It is under the radar in main stream Media attention it seems but it is a far superior contest compared to Mayweather/Delahypa.....yawn.Two of the best welters going after it with solid skillsets and vastly contrasting styles ring the bell!

This Is one makes my hands sweat and no doubt there will be some yelling,just a bit

Almost everytime pre hype fight gets crazy, the fight is ususlly a let down. I hope we don't jinx it. I hope for a good fight but it's not too far out of reach to say this fight ends early.

How am I doing? I'm nervous as all hell... that's how I'm doing. I'm obviously rooting for our boy Cotto all the way, but I know Margarito is one formidable obstacle. Cotto's gonna have to have the right game plan and execute it perfectly.

And BTW, if there's one thing I can bet on, it's that this fight will NOT turn out to be over-hyped. It will end up deserving every bit of hype it has gotten. These two guys just don't know how to make a bad fight.

I'm a bit dissapointed with the looks of the undercard but the main events what its all about, ready for Cotto to shine.

I'm excited as hell.

Lets go Cotto! Its gonna be a WAR. Margarito is a warrior and a relentless fighter, and a HUGE welterweight. This will be fight of the year.
