I hope Cotto's cardio is much improved, there are times that he should be on his bicycle here. Still praying Cotto bludgeons this cheat.

I reckon Cotto stops Margo inside 5 rounds!
Look at Margarito post plaster-gate...he's helpless. Mosley wrecked him, Pac wrecked him and when Cotto gets him in the ring he'll WRECK him. After the first fight Cotto said it was difficult to go to the body, I'm thinking that's due to the uppercuts and the wraps. With Manny in his corner he should box better and do more damage....pump the jab, dig to the body, and use better defense.
I heard Wolak is on the undercard this fight, any idea who his opponent is yet? Rodriguez would be good, make it a night a rematches!
Damn it!!! How the hell is Margacheato's corner calling the shots? What are they trying to prove or hide by refusing a second weigh-in on the day of the fight? Not that it should matter much, as long as he makes the weight the day before. And how the hell does Cotto's camp agree to 153?!? The fight should've been at 150, not a pound more. Cheato is naturally bigger and taller than Miguel. This is totally to his advantage, and Cotto is walking right into his trap.
All I know is, Stewart better hone Miguel's skills physically AND mentally for this fight. I couldn't stand a repeat of the first fight.
:mad: :mad:
Could be that Cotto feels more comfortable not having to cut much weight at all either now, who knows. As for the second weigh in, when does that ever happen anyways? Was it a condition in the contract? I mean as long as Margarito(god infect his scrotum) wasn't obligated you can't really equate his not doing so to calling the shots. This fight is a weird one for me because I truly want to see Cotto win easily and early(epicly unlikely:mad:) more than I want to see a good fight. I don't usually root for fighters one way or another like that. I just think it'd be a shame if Margarito inflicts any more damage on Cotto, he doesn't deserve to be getting paydays like he has as it is. If Cotto is able to turn the tables in a big way it'd be the perfect way to send the cheat into retirement being remembered as such. Get's busted for the wraps then procedes to get battered by every class fighter he's in with afterwards, finally a guy he probably used plaster to beat.
Wolak is facing Vanes. Wolak is a pressure fighter and Vanes has a suspect chin. Vanes, on the other hand, is a better boxer than Wolak. It's a good clash of styles. I could see it going the same way as Foreman/Wolak or like Wolak/Smith. The winner is in line for a shot at Saul.
If cottos ever wanted to a fight, surley this will be the one?! People hav doubted cottos heart b4 but im sure he'l giv this 110% to avenge the last fight!! I hope cotto smashes cheato to bits.......
I would love Cotto to win this fight but i feel Margarito has more left at this stage than Cotto has.
Margarito got his ass kicked by Pacquiao but he did have his moments especially when he had Pacquiao on the ropes. If he can still have success like that against the best fighter in the world, i see him having no problem getting at Cotto.
Hopefully Steward will have Cotto follow the gameplan Mosley had against Margarito. I don't think he can pull it off like Mosley could though.
It's ridiculous how this bout is at 153 but wadaya gonna do.. Cotto is scared shitless of his daddy and needs an edge..
He was willing to face Chavez Jr at 160 for that bogus ass MW title yet he can't do 154 for Margo?? hella rubbish.. This is one of the reasons why i never liked this dude.. Cotto is one of the most protected fighters in the past decade. He's pampered..
He should have fought Margo rematch long ago but he had to wait until this man is all battered and beaten.. After what Pacman did to Margo, there is no way that he can ever be the same and on top of that, Margo is a one good punch to the eye from turning into captain hook... I dont believe that his eye is really 100%...
As long as his eye holds up, he'll win by late KO again... But if it goes to the cards, I can see that pampered Cotto getting a gift decision..
My thoughts are Margarito used loaded gloves to beat Cotto the first time, he's not going to have that advantage this time, and Margarito showed he's not anything special in his loses to Mosley & Pacquiao, without the loaded hand-wraps.
I see Miguel wanting some serious payback and/or revenge, and I believe he tears Margarito a new asshole in the rematch. Cotto by 10th round TKO, after Tony takes a beating.
