Cotto will give him lots of movements and he will be snapping that jab at his face and then using his perfect timing to counter with bombs to the body. Tony will get frustrated on this one ala Tito.
Wow Cotto has suddenly taken a HUGE lead since last time I viewed. I must admit I was shocked when Toni was leading though.
cotto by late stoppage
Toni wont die wondering and take a points loss, ref will eventually step in and call it a day!!
I'm thinking Cotto will win....I want Cotto to win....
But I'm still hesitant.
I'll say Cotto points, I'd be impressed if he could stop Margorito.
This is a huge fight for Cotto. Very risky.
I've seen Pinto, Sosa, and N'Dou, and they are no Antonio Margarito. The first two were physically inferior to Cotto. N'dou was rugged and able to take Cotto's power. And look what happened in that fight. N'dou made Cotto resort to plan "b," which is box and get out of there with a win. The N'Dou fight was Miguel's first real lesson in boxing of what to do when your usual plan does not work. So if anything, his fight with N'Dou, in my opinion, resembles most what I perceive to be the manner in which Cotto's fight with Margarito will play out.Quote:

He has become stronger and more physically durable so perhaps he will be able to handle Margarito as he did N'Dou who was quite a physically forboding fighter at 140.
I say Rick Flair wins!:cool:
Rick Flair? I don't get it!Quote:

Though I admit my vote is 90% biased and only 10% objective, I say Cotto by late TKO.
The way Tony cuts he may be in trouble from the get go...Cotto cuts but not as bad as Tony......I wonder if Miguel will break Tony's jaw because he is prone to breaking people's jaws, it would have a dramatic effect on the fight
I dont think this is a tough fight to call at all.
Infact I think it would be quite predictable how it unfolds. Tony will plod forward trying to engage in a brawl . Cotto will use superior skills and the difference in class will be very apparent from the start . As the rounds go on Cottos lead will get bigger and he may choose to take his foot off the gas pedal in the later rounds when he knows he has it in the bank . Either way Cotto wins this hands down .
I love both fighters but cotto has met no one near Tony and those relentless punches, maybe a couple of knock downs but my man Tony will still be there at the end points win for Tony.;D
Cotto wins this one with relative ease. It's a matter of level and Margarito is not on the level of Cotto.
