Mark Ecko pissed himself ;D

Cotto looks in shape and still he has till July 26. good job so far

Can't make a pick yet heart say Tony, head say Cotto....Tony is a hot or cold type of fighter, so you never know what kind of performance your gonna get. This is very close IMO the one thing that sticks out is Tony's huge midsection and not so great defense. Then again he has never been stopped on a body shot or stopped at all. Cotto has a good chin but it isn't his strong point, this is one of those fights where anything could happen. If Tony can take Cotto's shots its gonna be a barnburner.

Is a curiosity to see how Margaro could assimilate Cottos power , i really want to see that , we all know how Cotto assimilate , but i dont think that Margaro can take Cottos shots.................;D

Tony will surely could take Cotto's shots but how many can he handle?

I like how you see this going on

jeez you puerto ricans really are an impatient lot arent you.

For what its worth it`ll more than likely be the fight of the summer and one that the entire world will remember for a long time to come.

But its still a good few weeks away and we have 3 world championship fights coming up this weekend.......maybe we could perhaps worry about this a bit closer to the fight???

I think Cotto is a sucker for being macho. He'll get pulled in to the biggest brawl of his life. That much im sure of.

Cotto by TKO hopefully. Toney's got one hell of a chin, but perhaps cotto can put together some sick combos and flurries to have the ref waive it off by late stoppage.

I'm taking Cotto by UD

Actually this is very interesting.

Has any fighter really pressured Cotto and when pressured did Cotto look good.

If I remember right Cotto loses most of his effectiveness when he is going backwards.

Lovemore pressured him and he didn't look good. Against Mosley he looked good but when he was on his backfoot he didn't.

Cotto looks best when he is dictating the pace and walking someone down. Maybe the worse thing to do is to give Cotto ground and wait for him to do something before you do its sort of like the mistake people made against Kostya Tszyu, they would give him ground and wait, but when he was pushed back he wasn't as effective and Hatton pushed him back the entire match and won.


However I don't think Margarito applies that kind of pressure, his pressure is winged shots in an off balance and straight up way.

So he wouldn't be as effective pressuring Cotto as the others because it will be easier for Cotto to see the punches coming.


So.. if Margarito wants to win this fight, he needs to go to the body and go there often. I don't think Cotto has a good belly, no one's really tested it yet. So if Im Margarito, I go straight for his gut and his ribs, and then go upstairs later. Cotto has the ability to outlast someone and finish them late, take out his body early and he won't have that second gear, so when Margarito's kicks in, Cotto would be in for it.

but if Margarito doesn't go to the body we'll get a normal somewhat mediocre match with some exciting spots that will have the HBO crew reaching the point but not being THAT memorable with Cotto winning a decision.

Cotto looked great when when Mosley was pressuring, Cotto was fghting in the back foot and doing a hell of a job

I've changed my mind slightly(Cotto can definitely win this fight), but I'm still rooting for Margarito simply because I think he deserves some success. Guy has been toiling away at 147 fighting guys no-one else wanted to,7/8 RING top 10 fighters and only now are peeps taking notice. I think his reach and height will cause Cotto problems. Close fight,as long as it's a war,I don't mind but I favour Tony.

I agree. If the Tony that fought Clottey and Williams shows up, I think Cotto will have a field day, but if the Tony that fought Cintron and Johnson shows up, I think he has an excellent chance. He just seems much more energized and determined since the Williams loss. In his defense though, against Clottey he was coming off of only one round in the ring in the previous 20 months, and I would also argue that Clottey is quicker than Cotto, with better defense as well. Williams overwhelmed him with volume of punches which we know Cotto isn't going to do. Anyways, I'll be rooting for Tony all the way, but he definitely has an upward hill to climb here.

Cotto can win this fight doing what he does best, combining his boxing skills with his power. I believe that Cotto will need to do a lot of boxing in this fight taking advantage of his speed over Margarito. But, also he has to claim for respect and be aggressor at some points. I think Margarito will not be able to manage this type of fight from Cotto. Cotto needs to be careful with Margarito's upper, followed by the right hand (if Cotto steps back), but I see Cotto wining by UD.
