Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds : Cotto vs Margarito!

[Wacko3205]

So your the guy everyone was talking about glad to meet you i was going to do RBR but looks like your got everything in hand now which is good heres my small write up about the fight.

Good little write up...& nice to meet/greet ya.

Here's the thing...or atleast how I see it...Cotto has been a nearly unstoppable force for quite sometime now...much like Margarito...& in the end...it'll boil down to pride & will...& honestly...I think that that is one of Cotto's short comings...that & a hell of a leaky defense.

Cotto will do good for a bit...& then he'll let the fans dictate what he throws & takes & then it will be good night Miguel.

I've been wrong before...& I sure as shit hope I am on this one.

The way i see it is that Miguel Cotto has the superior boxing skills and his punches are much shorter plus he can box on the back foot and like i said in that little write up Antonio Margarito has been hurt by body shots before and he hasn't really been tested to the midsection so it will be interesting to see how Margarito's long torso holds up to Cotto's body punishment i can see Miguel Cotto outboxing Antonio Margarito as long as he doesn't get caught on the ropes.

Kind of what I've been saying; alot of the outcome of this fight is going to boil down to which fight Cotto makes.

Will Tony be able to make him fight his fight or will Cotto use the ring all night and that improved boxing ability?

I see Cotto taking much of the early fight but see him getting dragged into waters he shouldn't be treading. Really it boils down to Cotto's approach and resolve to stick to a smart game plan IMO.

This is the place Tony has wanted to be; and almost lost the chance in his debacle with Williams, so I doubt he won't be 100% focused and ready to destroy come Saturday. Win or be reduced to gatekeeping, journeyman status by the boxing world. JMO

Hell's bells. I am completely stoked here (yes I did use the word stoked)

Really looking forward to this buddy. The absolute man doin the rbr for what could be FOTY, sweeeeeet!!!

[Spicoli]

ALRIGHTY then,looks like the big chief is back in the mix.

Love this fight,mishmash of styles and you can not hope to root for either guy.Cotto is so developed very nicely and I do believe his key will be a very disciplined mix of backfoot boxing with necessary spots of asserted power and blunting Margaritos onslaught.I do not believe that it would be wise for him to sit inside and swap with Margarito.His jab and body shots can be telling here.

Margarito should needs to stick with the horse that brought him.Just work those angles with volume punching,keep Cotto on his heels and he must cut down that ring.His uppercut can come under on Cotto in a big way but he needs to not "Douglas" it up too much.Telegraph and over extend repetitively Lol.Tony is a more than capable body hitter and should very his attack. I'm picking Margarito in a late round TKO,and yes I understand Cotto is the far better 'boxer'. I love this fight like a fat kid loves double stuffed Oreo's

Very good to see you Wacko,I'll put away my "Navajo code talk" on the RBR and sit back and enjoy the real deal ......I can not help but think of this Clip leading up to this weekend,Go ahead call me corny

The Champ is here LORDY LORDY Thank you Wacks like Amat said this is like the start of the season or opening day in Baseball...

I actually picked like you for the same reasons, I just feel Margarito is built better for a war of attriction and will grind down Cotto and drown him late

[bcollins]

Good times are back!

NOW everything is perfect for this weekend - I've got a bottle of Crown, the wife's OK to watch the fight and get shlokered, and the return of the DRBR!

The tale of the tape show Margarito to be considerable bigger than Cotto, but I'll wait for the tale on the night as regards Biceps, calves etc.

Hi Guys,

I've been away from Saddo's for a few months, but with this fight I just had to come back and see what everyone was thinking. Should be a great fight.

I must first say though. Wacko, if my memory serves correct, you promised that if Cotto proved you wrong against Mosley, you'd never doubt him again? I see a doubting prediction right at the start of this thread. How could you?

I might as well throw my thoughts in on this one. My feeling is that if Miguel chooses to engage in a war like he did against Torres and more recently againts Judah, he'll get hurt and hurt bad. If Tony can walk through Cintron's heavy handed shots and take them flush, he'll be able to do the same to Cotto. However, if Cotto chooses to use his feet and move away from Tony's shots, all the while tagging him with the jab, he could put on a masterclass performance to make Tony look silly.

I'm a massive Cotto fan, and I never feared a fight with Floyd as I felt Cotto has enough tools in his arsenal to overcome Floyd. However, like Wacko feared the Mosley fight, I have always had my reservations about this one. I don't for a second think that Margarito is a better fighter, I just feel that no matter how good you are, there is always someone who has your number. For me, this could be it. I hope to god Cotto wins, but I can't see Miguel knocking him out, and it'll be very difficult to last the full 12 if he engages in a war, which I feel his pride will lead him to do.

Tony in 10. And it kills me to say that.
