Thread: Predictions on Cotto Vs Margarito II

I believe Cotto will knock him out in the late rounds. Margarito will not be landing left uppercuts like he did anymore plus no plaster(if it was used which I believe was). I don't believe he'll land any because if you notice Cotto's last fights, that right hand is protecting him well, and looks to be training alot harder then before.... Either way let's see what your thoughts are.

I'm going with Cotto in this one, Miguel has come back well from his loss to Margarito in their 1st fight and the loss to Pacquiao. It's remains to be seen however if Margarito can come back from his beatdown in the Mosley fight, and total destruction he recieved from Pacquiao.

Cotto by 8th round TKO. (the ref stops the fight)

Cotto, in the neighborhood of 116-113, or a late (round 10-ish) TKO.

Cotto by ko

I'm also going with cotto with late TKO but it could easly go the other way Margarito is one hard guy

Margarito by TKO. Cotto's chin and stamina will be his downfall again. It's just a terrible match-up for him.

Cotto by unanimous decision ........... but I'm hoping for a knock-out or brutal stoppage.

I like Cotto by decision, although a stoppage due to cuts or swelling wouldn't surprise me.

With all the talk about the gloves, one thing that's been overlooked is the huge tactical mistake Cotto made in the first fight by not using his great left hook to the body. Part of the reason Margarito was able to take Cotto's punches is because they were all head shots.

Margarito was badly hurt to the body by both Mosley and Pacquiao. Cotto has to attack Margarito's body this time and try to break him down.

Good point, Margarito knows just one way to fight, aggressively and straight ahead. So Cotto needs to keep the fight in the center of the ring, and no backing into the ropes, when Margo gets a fighter backing up and/or on the ropes he's deadly.
I believe Miguel's power will be the difference in this one, he'll hurt Margarito this time to the head and body. I also don't believe that Margo's punch resistance is what it was prior to the Mosley and Pacquiao beatdowns.

P.S. I hope Cotto beats this cheatin' muther-fucker senseless.

I think this go round, if Cotto starts feeling too much pressure he'll tag Margarito to the sack like he did Judah...who would blame him?

You know what, I would love to see Cotto just savagely attack Margarito and get himself DQ'd. Headbutts, elbows, uppercuts to the groin, haymaker rabbit punches... It'd be great.

HAhaha.

I hope Cotto wins this with smarts. I think Margacheato has his number if its to become a war.

Because of that i think Marg will win by tko in the 8th. 2min and 49 seconds into the 8th.

Would be fun! But Cotto doesn't need at that, he'll just beat him fair & square

I appreciate everyones comment here, but I don't understand why people would even think margarito has a chance. I mean have you seen his last three fights? Seriously his punches have no power whatsoever.
