Kermit Cintron: "Margarito Will Stop Cotto"

[rene69]

This will be no cake walk for Cotto that's for sure. He will have to fight 3mins of every rd and will not get to relax and fight at his own pace as he's used too, and will not be fighting semi shot, small welters like Mosley and Judah, and overmatched guys like Gomez. He will be fighting a 5'11 full fledged in your face welter in A. Margarito. Cotto will have to fight the fight of his life during the 2nd half vs MAgarito if wants to win it because this fight will come down to conditioning and heart because he doesn't possess the legs and natural talent to move on his toes like williams did to beat Margarito. I see Cotto starting strong and looking sharp in the 1st half of the fight then fading in the 2nd half due to the pressure and size of Margarito and possibly getting ko'd late. Just a thought.

I think cotto's a league above magarito and thats no disrespect to magarito. Its not going to be a easy night for cotto to say the least as we know magarito's tough as nailz, should be a good 1.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

Margarito and Andrade remind me of each other. I like both of these fighters. They take everything you have and then proceed to stalk you and beat you down, little by little.

[Majesty]

I doubt Cotto will try to beat margarito with one punch

[gyrokai]

Look you guys... Cintron isn't in denile.


You guys are.

Margarito by Knockout.

Margarito by Knockout.

I'm serious here guys.

TJ Tornado is going to surpise.

One thing, I think for sure is.... after the fight, both fighters will "lose something" when they leave the ring. Both are tough, rugged, SOBs.

To be fair to crybaby Kermit, Margarito is exactly the type of fighter to give Cotto problems. ROCK CHIN , RELENTLESS , GOOD POWER etc.

[Macho]

I see that Cintron seems to have Complexity now , he speaks like be Jealous of someone , in the beginning of second the fight when he were talking in the conferences , he commented once that Margarito didn't going defeat him again and either to Cotto , he said something first and now after a month he said another thing ...............

Is like we say here in P.R. Cintron " You looks more Pretty when you are quite ".

" Esta moldido mi gente "....
That's all.........

[OumaFan]

Not surprising but Cotto's a whole different thing than Cintron. If you can walk through Cintron's punch and keep coming at him he'll fold. Bit like Judah in that respect.

[TitoFan]

When you get bitcch-slapped twice by the same guy, it's only natural that you elevate your conqueror to God-like status. I'm not saying that Cotto will have an easy time against Margarito, but...

Whereas I used to not want Kermit and Cotto to meet in the ring, now I wouldn't mind seen Cotto take Kermit apart at some point in the future.

[Rommel Balbuena]

Margarito is Dangerous and Maybe will stop Cotto,Peace.

[southakron314]

He is just mad he got his ass whooped by him and he is building him up to be all of that and a bag of chips. I think Cotto knocks him out inside of 10.

[donnydarkoIRL]

I think it was my man Macho that said that Cintron has proved himself a hypocrite, stating that Margarito would never beat any of the top Puerto Rican's and now claiming that he would beat Cotto with ease.


Cintron is a fantastic physical specimen, it is his mentality that let's him down. This same lack of fortitude demands that he compensates for his loss by reasoning that Margarito is a great fighter, that simply could not have been beaten.
In reality Cotto, win lose or draw against Margarito, is made of significantly stronger stuff than Cintron. In July you can be assured that if Cotto is to lose, he will go down in a bloody mess and to the very end will be looking to ahnialate Margarito himself. Should Cotto walk away the victor, you can be certain he will be humble respectful and amiable as always.

Cintron may serve well as a sparring partner for Cotto, but in truth, he's not in the same class, purely because of the weakness of his will.

[boozeboxer]

Man I am really excited about this fight. I really want Margarito to win. He is such a nice guy, a real throwback fighter. His resume is awesome. Paul Williams, clottey, Cintron twice, Golden Johnson. I don't think he will beat Cotto, but I sure hope so. (and I really like Cotto), but he has been elevated to superstar status while Margarito has been shuffled to the level of fringe contender and i think he deserves a little more than that.

To be fair to crybaby Kermit, Margarito is exactly the type of fighter to give Cotto problems. ROCK CHIN , RELENTLESS , GOOD POWER etc.

I suppose, but he's also really easy to hit which is not good if your fighting Miguel Cotto, and he can be kept at range if need be. I think Cotto also passed any relentless test of pressure at 147 when he fought Mosley. Shane pressured him far more intelligently than Margarito is capable of, and has more power, is far faster, and has a granite jaw himself which Cotto wasn't able to dent. I just can't for the life of me see Margarito presenting a bigger challenge to Cotto than Mosley did.
