Cotto vs Margarito. December 3rd 2011. DONE

[TitoFan]

Fight to be at a catchweight of 153 lbs.

Margarito's trainer said there is 'absolutely no way' there will be a second weight in on the day of the fight and, for Miguel, there lies the problem which I think is gonna cost Cotto the fight - Margarito is gonna be huge come fight night. He's gonna walk through Cotto's punches again.

I didn't see the point of the catchweight but I've been told that, apparently, at 154 you have to use 10oz gloves but under that you only need 8oz gloves.

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.

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) 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.
