Its got the revenge/redemption angle to it. I dont think it matters what happens to Margarito, he half expects to get bashed up every time he gets in he ring Im sure but how damaging would it be to Cotto to lose this time around?

[ICB]

Miguel Cotto isn't that great fighting on the backfoot, and he got caught on the ropes too much. And didn't go downstair's enough, he need's to clinch aswell. I think the Shane Mosley blueprint is a good one for Miguel Cotto.

I hope Cotto punches Tony's eye out of it's socket... that cheating bastard.

Someone double, triple check his wraps

You and everyone else said Cotto was damaged goods and yet he continues to win.

The only thing that pisses me off is that Arum will not match him up vs. Alvarez or else Cotto would mop the floor with Alvarez right after beating Tony.

But Cotto vs. Vanes, Wolak or Molina will suffice... Bring it!

[Pugilistic]

This should be interesting.

I hope Cotto can bring it to Margarito. Someone mentioned the blueprint that Mosley used.

Cotto needs to do what Mosley did or he will suffer a similar fate to what he suffered back on July 26th 2008.

Lets all hope this is Margaritos last pay cheque . cheating SON OF A BITCH .

[Ant Live]

Cotto can win by doing the same exact thing he did in the first fight. Remeber he won't be getting hit by bricks.

This fight is all mental. If Margarito keeps the pressure up and Cotto can't hurt him, the first fight is going to surface in the back of his head. At that point we will see how good Manny is as a coach/trainer. On that note, as much as I hate Margarito, I think he's going to win.

I was such a fan of Margarito when this original fight took place and I was so disappointed to hear of his cheating. It definately happened in that fight, Cotto face was so badly beaten up. It was a good fight though with plenty of punches thrown so looking forward to watching this sequal and lets hope that Cotto takes his revenge!

How is it that Cotto can be off for 9 months total before the actually fight, and have no treats of being strip?

[Master]

I have forgiven Marg after his beating against Manny. Hope Cotto wins this one, and is the fight of the year for me.

[boxingbantz]

Massive Cotto fan but I still don't like this fight.

Margarito walked through his punches at 147 and, at 154, he is gonna be fucking huge come fight night.

Cotto needs to use the gameplan he used at the start of the first fight and just maintain it. I am not sure he can though but with Manny in his corner, I think he'll has a good chance. I am sure they will use Mosley's performance against Tony as the blue print for victory.

Saying that, I think Margarito will walk through his punches again and stop him late on again. As much as I dislike Margarito, you can't deny he is one tough son of a bitch.

Sadly, if Cotto loses, I think it'll be the last we see of him. I just don't want to see him battered again. I hope he can pull it off, though.

[Master]

Cotto will win this, he is a fresher boxer, with a new trainer and got his confidence back. Both are coming off long lay offs.
