Countdown for Cotto-Margarito!! Let's talk here (video added)

[Kirkland Laing]

I've got no particular dog in this fight, I like both of them. I can just sit back and hopefully get entertained. I picked Cotto to win but I'd be just as happy if Margarito wins, both are nice guys. First and foremost I want an entertaining fight.

[JT Rock]

Well I just got back from watching Margarito workout I only caught a couple of min. of him because they started late as I drove up to the place Margaritos bus was right outside he's having a public workout at Sergio Mora's gym.... I didn't see Sergio there...

Tony looked calm and friendly as usual and was all smiles when he arrived but by the time it was time to get to work he was focused by the time he made it to the ring. I caught all the warm up and the 1st punching session he looked good as usual long strong punches. From what I saw he was concentrating on body shots...

Man, I'm soooooo FUCKEN hyped now I can't even concentrate on work...

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!

Man I feel you right now, nothing like having the big fight jitters and the anticipation of something special were about to witness... Just a few more days

I know a few months ago we were talking about the forum being a little strange feeling, but it seems this big fight is bringing us all happiness and a common ground... If Wacks gets the DRBR going it will be a hell of a family reunion.... Old School Saddo Way!!

Jeff I know you and me are two of the more prominent Margarito supporters on here. It is rare that two such nice guys would be fighting. I mean no Mayweathers to bash, or Judahs to make fun of..........strange and classy night for boxing.

And I know your name isn't Jeff. but you seem like a Jeff.

wellaright. Seem like a Jeff? I changed that name after my second week on here Bro ,around the time you told me that I could not type, Lol give it a rest already ....I here ya on not having a "bad" guy in this fight.Does feel a bit odd,Don't worry...Margarito still has many detractors and come fight night maybe they will finally see the light..........either that or my name will be what ever YoungBlood wants it to be for one week

Hope M.I.A El Gamo makes it Saturday night? Pretty big on Tony.

[quote=caleoh12;562887]I was out of state when it originally aired and waited up til 2am yesterday just to watch it. I don't know what it is, but that countdown made me realize that Cotto is going to win this fight easier than I originally expected"

Dont think that post will show up, but some one said it a couple pages back.

You know nothing against that post or poster personally, everyone of sourse has their own opinion, but hearing all the Tony haters is getting old, even if (a big if) he loses he is gonna die in that ring. This man has been waiting and been ducked for a long time and you think he's gonna go in there and just roll over.

Everyone in here must be a Rocky fan, and I can already see Tony telling his wife/trainer/mother/passed away brother "To beat me, he's gonna have to kill me, and to do that he's gonna have to be willing to die himself"...was Rocky really Mexican and not Italian? Cuz that has Mexican fighter written all over it.

I dont doubt Cotto is willing to war, he has been in some, but I dont know he's willing to die. The countdown said it perfectly, between Mexican and Puerto Rican fighters and fans the big differance is that Puerto Ricans are allowed to box alittle more...let me translate that for you, when Tony takes Cotto's shots and keeps moving forward, Cotto will run/box (ill use those interchangeably), hell Cotto ran against Mosley an old Mosley, a Mosley that wanted nothing to do with Antonio Margarito!

Yes Cotto can out box Margo, but try boxing when you have a Tornado of well over 1000 punches a fight after you. Shit the most specialized, highly trained, super killers in any armed forces would succumb to shear volume of enemies after them, why do you think this will be different, ya Cotto will out box him, but Tony will outwork him. Tony has one of the highest stamina levels in the WW division. His production/workrate is wayyyyyy out of the norm for a Cotto opponent.

Cotto's higher level of boxing technique and ability will allow him to land many shots to the body and face, granted. What is he gonna do when he faces a man who takes bombs to the grill (Cintron) and laughs at him. Could he have stood up to those bombs? Could he have walked through it and fucking laughed!

Yes Yes we're all mystified by the strong silent cotto who never smiles, keeps his composure in every situation, pushes the smaller man around and keeps moving forward, very imressive. BE afraid of the guy that laughs in your face, beats your ass, and begs you to get up so he can continue to whoop your ass some more.

Make no doubt about it my friends we are in for a classic, and I give all the respect in the world to Cotto for his ability, athleticism, and dedication to his craft he is one of my favorite fighters, and with this post I am not saying that Tony has it in the bag or anything close to that, a part of me is afraid for Saturday to get here. We all seen the soft underbelly of Antonio Margarito on the Countdown, and no matter how badass you are, you must have felt his pain over the loss of his brother, and if he doesnt win this weekend who knows what that might do to him, a loss here would be hard, so I worry for him.

But do not discount Tony because he will die in there. He will put it all out there for himself, his family, his country, and his fans and even if he doesnt pull it off this weekend, he will show more heart in defeat than Cotto can in Victory. He will have more fans than ever before. I know many of you know this to be true, Margo fans or not. He's gonna shock many, including his own fans and followers. Spread some rep if you believe it too. Not for me, but just to back up my man Margo.

Oh and when all you haters/non-believers change your minds, theres plenty of room on this band wagon, welcome.

[boozeboxer]

Well I am glad that Tolstoy stayed up to watch the Cotto fight to give his dissertation on who will win......

[amat]

So if Margarito loses he is going to die? What about the army? Big post, glad your supporting your guy Onix but very little of that actually has to do with what goes on in the ring.

[killersheep]

They aren't gonna actually show the Kid Diamond fight are they?

Maybe, but you're telling me heart has nothing to do with a fight?

No, but there is nothing to suggest Cotto doesn't have heart to match. In fact, the argument could be made that he's had to tough through more given that he's been hurt and wobbled badly throughout his career and each time has come back to stop his opponent. Watch his first round versus Cotto where he eats the uppercut, wobbles, straightens out and then comes right back at Judah.

Very good point. And again I'm not saying he doesnt have heart and I'm not saying he won't get a win, I'm saying to all the die hard fans dont discount Tony or think he's gonna roll over. I think he wants it more, he's been ducked by everyone and now he has his first chance at the recognition, money, etc. and he is gonna go in there give everything.

And I hope you understood what I meant by saying he's willing to go in there and die. He's gonna go in there and leave no regrets.
