Daniel Santos says , "No Way Tony Beats Cotto"

[jmbtandy]

I agree with that, Margarito is a good tough fighter but he has proved in the past he can be out boxed and that is exactly what Cotto will do to him, Margarito is a tough guy and will probably hear the final bell but as for winning I just can't see it

[Puerto Rican Punch]

I expect Cotto to win by UD. If he wins by TKO, it would be probably due to a cut, but as Margarito is very strong I don't see him finishing on the floor. I give my vote to Cotto because he is faster, with more technique, can also punch (probably harder and more effectively than Margarito), not to mention how well he has adapted to 147. Margarito surely is strong, but he is also slow. Cotto has be very busy on the fight boxing and punching. I think that Cotto has to alternate his strategy during the fight being the boxer at some points and the aggressor at other points. He has to make Margarito respect him on the ring.

Danny has fought twice to Margarito so he is someone who can make a good analysis. I am also wishing him (Danny) success is his July 11 title fight with Joachim Alcine at Canada. Danny has a very good career wining titles at 147 and 154, but unfortunately he has not have the success that he wants due to long inactivity periods. And, here we go again with the problems with promoters, the big winners in boxing.

Dan Santos is spot on and he is in a better position than anybody to call how the fight will go .

Nice post, thanks for the link. Looks like it could be a great fight, and id have to give the edge to Cotto as well.

I see this fight even. 'Cannot wait.

I've doubted Cotto for his last three or four fights (well maybe not Gomez) and he's always proven me wrong.

I'll be rooting for Margarito though.

Plus it's worth remembering that Sugar Shane had Cotto backed up and on the back foot for the last 4 rounds of their fight. Margarito is a far more aggressive force than Sugar Shane.

I actually think Cotto will wilt under intense pressure and Margarito could be the man to apply it.

I'm saying Margarito stops him late.

Thats my prediction dude... Been saying all along Mosely got the better of the Bodyattack and had Cotto retreating.. Albeit Cotto boxed superb going backwards I see Margarito filling those gaps and overwhelming him
