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

[bcollins]

I have to say I really admire both fighters, and I hate to see either one take an L.

[bcollins]

Now I probably jinxed it and we'll see a draw....

[Fenster]

I picked Cotto to win but on the night I'll be cheering for Margarito as I always support the underdog in fights where I either don't care who wins or like both guys. Anybody else do that?

Yeah I do.. especially when I've backed the underdog.

Margarito 6/1 for the stoppage.

[Fenster]

Now I probably jinxed it and we'll see a draw....

I've backed that

[OumaFan]

I've got faith in Cotto.

That was a real profound post, I know.

Cotto by UD!!

I wouldn't be surprised if Cotto gets hurt at some point, however, Cotto's will, heart, and determination will get him through it. His ringsmarts is what will win this fight for him. Margarito may take the early rounds, while Cotto is figuring him out, but Cotto will make the right adjustments, and take over in the 4th or 5th.

I just realized ,Wacko is only 37 ?? I see him in an Yoda-ish form...

Both guys should 'pack a lunch' Saturday night .Is there a Bet thread on this one ?

Great stuff Wackster, im glad i get to read the DRBR as i pleaded with one of my comrads to cover for me at work so that i can get the day off. (i was supposed to work in the fields this weekend guarding the DMZ against North Korea) anyways then i got online to figure out how to order the fight and guess what No fuken PPV in Korea!!!!!!! Bastards take away the best thing to happen to me as a boxing and Cotto fan. so i guess i'll be missing it live so ur RBR is exactly what i would be needing. So thanks again for saving my life Wackster!

On the sports book I've always kept my cards close to my chest. I'm looking for gradual gains rather than anything outlandishly risky.
I usually debate the fight to myself and if I come up with a clear and definite winner I'll bet.

But this fight I just couldn't call. I really wanted to bet so I checked the Over/Under. The split was round ten. I fretted. This coming from a Cotto fan, portrays the threat posed by Margarito.
If Margarito wins it will be by stoppage, early to mid rounds.
If Cotto is to win he must drag out the fight and take it 12.

I couldn't split them I couldn't decisively name a fighter, so I took a gamble and went with OVER. This effectively is backing Cotto's fight, but I still didn't have the grit to bet on Cotto also.

What a fight.....
The Sinister, Animalistic, Gargoyle in Margarito vs.
The Cold, Calculating, Terminator in Cotto.

WHAT A FIGHT!

[Bomp]

Im so excited I could piss in my pants. Done fuck all work all week.

It's a toughy to call, both in who I WANT to win and prediction wise. There's something about the Margarito story that would make a win for him great, YET a Cotto win could set up the super duper megafight with PBF.

I really can't pick, but something tells me (hope I'm not jinxing it) that the fight cannot possibly live up toi the ex[pectations and we could get an unexpected early finish, Cotto caught cold early, or maybe Tony withers under a body attack. Of course I'm hoping for a brutal 12 round war to end all wars.

Great to have the Wackster back, the intro to this thread really got me buzzing.

Fantastic to have you back as usual excellent sum up and im with you on the decision except Tony by points. Really do not want to see either lose.

[smashup]

Really looking forward to this one for a few reasons!!
Love Cotto's Lamotta style of fighting
Love the fact that Marga is willing to leave the ring looking like he's just gone through a car window
Love the fact this should be brutal and imo fight of the year!!
Cannot wait for this War to kick off.
I say Cotto breaks him down around round 7 then the ref stops it around the 9th with blood EVERYWHERE
Gonna go right off this one. (and in the crowd)

[Wacko3205]

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.

Agreed here 100%. I'll be shocked if Cotto shows out & if IF Tony allows him to pace himself comfy like. I just don't see that happening. Honestly believe that we're on the cusp of Cotto's first career defeat...if not a defeat...a sure fire ass whoopin of gargantuan proportions.

As I keep saying...if Cotto stands & trades...the bigger man will come out on top.

I too hate to make a prediction as such...because it's gonna kill me if Cotto loses.
