Excellent.
I'm really looking forward to this.
I feel Cotto has to conceed the power i this fight. If he enters trying to make a statement Margarito will capitalise, if not in raw power in volume and accuracy. I've said it before;
In every fight a fighter will get hurt by at least one of the opponents punches. Margarito increases this probability with his output, accuracy and timing.
I'm relying on my man Cotto to retain his composure at all times, stay on the backfoot, jab and flury when Margarito allows him the opportunity. A single minded strategy relying on power will not work against Margarito, we had this hypothesis proven in the Cintron fight, but Margarito is frustratable. Cotto needs to move well and punch clean and using that strategy I feel he can evade the Tornado for a UD.
