Predictions on Cotto Vs Margarito II

[Abelardus]

I appreciate everyones comment here, but I don't understand why people would even think margarito has a chance. I mean have you seen his last three fights? Seriously his punches have no power whatsoever.

I hope you are right.

Margarito has a heart and an ego for fighting he will have to be stopped by someone else he wont quit.

Cotto has better skills but he has a limit he will go to before he says in his own words he will quit and go home to his family.

Thats my only worry.

I take all that Macho bullshit Margarito spews about not quitting with a grain of salt, it's idiotic not to "quit" when you're taking a serious beating and your health is in danger.

I've never blamed Cotto for quitting in the 1st fight, the plaster Margarito was using in his wraps must have felt like a baseball bat.

P.S. Margarito didn't seem to mind at all when the ref stopped the ass-whippin' he was getting from Mosley.

Ok let's get one thing clear. Cotto said he wouldn't die to win lol people shouldn't mistake that for quitting in a fight huge difference. Cotto definitely has heart, watch his fights it's easy to tell

Right, and Cotto didn't "quit" when he was taking a pounding in the Pacquiao fight, the ref stopped it, and I believe he even protested a bit.

Cotto wins a decisive decision against Margarito, using his boxing skills, and throwing brutal body shots to keep Antonio at bay.

[Andre]

Hope you are all correct, Cotto deserves the win, I will be calling for him.
Looking forward to this.

My heart say's Cotto, my head say's Antonio.
Cotto has to battle the mental side of it before he can take on Margarito, if he is mentally focused before the fight he has a chance if not then Antonio takes it comfortabley.

When was the last Margarito win that we are certain was plaster free? Has he beat anyone on the top level where we are sure he wasn't using plaster?

The only one that is questionable in my mind is Paul Williams because Paul didn't seem to feel Tony's punches and just plain old outworked the guy.

I think if Cotto sticks and moves (which should be his M.O. as he's never lost doing it) he should win easy. The first half of the fight was easy pickings for Cotto, roll and counter, rip off combinations, and circle out. When Cotto started to stay on the inside and trade is when the damage started to take it's toll on him.

It's difficult stuff to ask a big puncher like Cotto to maybe save up a little of his power for the later rounds, but my line of thinking is quick counters & good movement will tire out Margarito, make his eye bad, and when he's ready to get picked off THEN you can land those big punches.

No. And he's gotten utterly dominated twice and looked bad against a nobody in his three fights since getting busted.

I'm not sure why anyone thinks he isn't a totally shot fighter at this point.

Wide UD for Cotto.
