Daniel Santos Can't See How Margarito Beats Cotto - Boxing News
I feel like it's a good toss up fight but what I do I know. I'm not the one who's fought Tony twice and probably sparred with Cotto on numerous occasions.
I agree with that, Margarito is a good tough fighter but he has proved in the past he can be out boxed and that is exactly what Cotto will do to him, Margarito is a tough guy and will probably hear the final bell but as for winning I just can't see it
Hey Bx730NY , good Article man.........;D , You got it..........;DQuote:

I expect Cotto to win by UD. If he wins by TKO, it would be probably due to a cut, but as Margarito is very strong I don't see him finishing on the floor. I give my vote to Cotto because he is faster, with more technique, can also punch (probably harder and more effectively than Margarito), not to mention how well he has adapted to 147. Margarito surely is strong, but he is also slow. Cotto has be very busy on the fight boxing and punching. I think that Cotto has to alternate his strategy during the fight being the boxer at some points and the aggressor at other points. He has to make Margarito respect him on the ring.
Danny has fought twice to Margarito so he is someone who can make a good analysis. I am also wishing him (Danny) success is his July 11 title fight with Joachim Alcine at Canada. Danny has a very good career wining titles at 147 and 154, but unfortunately he has not have the success that he wants due to long inactivity periods. And, here we go again with the problems with promoters, the big winners in boxing.
Dan Santos is spot on and he is in a better position than anybody to call how the fight will go .
Nice post, thanks for the link. Looks like it could be a great fight, and id have to give the edge to Cotto as well.
I see this fight even. 'Cannot wait.
I've doubted Cotto for his last three or four fights (well maybe not Gomez) and he's always proven me wrong.
I'll be rooting for Margarito though.
Plus it's worth remembering that Sugar Shane had Cotto backed up and on the back foot for the last 4 rounds of their fight. Margarito is a far more aggressive force than Sugar Shane.
I actually think Cotto will wilt under intense pressure and Margarito could be the man to apply it.
I'm saying Margarito stops him late.
Margo will win this fight. He shows me that he can last through tough fights. His punches have a what I call- a dead weight thud thud thud affect to them. Citron understands that very well. Paul Williams do too even though I think Margo lose that fight 7 to 5. Cotto must be a sharp shooter and if Margo can hold his defense tight through the first couple of rounds I see Margo hitting him with all types of Garbage Man punches. Thud Thud Thud and down goes Cotto in the 10th round. Great battle I see but Cotto and Citron will have something else in common. Down goes Cotto, Down goes Cotto. And the winner be KO and NEW. U get my point. See U on fight Night.
Thats my prediction dude... Been saying all along Mosely got the better of the Bodyattack and had Cotto retreating.. Albeit Cotto boxed superb going backwards I see Margarito filling those gaps and overwhelming himQuote:

Santos should just worry about Alcine!
When Cotto gets hit though, he is on his bike.Quote:

It can sometimes be a mistake (Oscar is the proof of that) but it showed another aspect of Cotto's game that people didn't think he had. I don't think that's a negative on Cotto's part.Quote:

As long as Cotto keeps it a boxing match and not a brawl, he will cruise to vitory. Against Mosley, Cotto did extremely well fighting backwards. Shane (a much better technical fighter than Margarito) put tons of pressure on Cotto and Shane had a difficult time landing his punches, unless Cotto was on the ropes. Cotto was landing counters so well against Shane that against Margarito it will be much, much easier. Trust me.
Well guys , most of you has been saying that Margaro has a granite and hard chin , you know what guys? i will not going believe that thing until the fight comes , i have to see how Margaro will going to assimilate Cottos power bro.......Dont get me wrong , im not underestimate Margaro , i just that i never saw Margaro fighting with an opponent of the same caliber of Cottos power thats all , the only who i saw that never went down of Cottos power and receiving strongest hooks on his chin was Urkal and his corner had to stop the fight for still receiving unnecessary punches , then after that he been pissing blood , N`Duo other that never went down by the cottos punches , he near miss test the canvas , but i gave him credit by his strongest legs ..................
Margaro probably has a great chin like some friends say , but to me IMO i have to see that , also i dont see that he has strongest legs , we will see that ...............................;D
