Gamo's feedback on Cotto v Tony. Please post, I want to see your thoughts.

[Shroomy]

Tony wouldnt live with Mayweather.

We all saw how easy it was for Cotto to outbox Margarito. He just couldnt last the pace.

Floyd eats these people for breakfast.

Floyd could go 20 rounds running off from tony and tagging him.

And I hate Floyd.

Truth is, he would win by a wide UD

[GAME]

[Von Milash]

Gamo, do you mean Tony Clifton?

As for my thoughts, I think I'll head to Burger King for a Whopper Wednesday lunch.

I've already posted my thoughts on Margarito's performance.

With regards to Cotto, I honestly feel he had a fantastic game plan. Where he faltered, at the same time NO fault of his own was his conditioning.

What I mean by that is Cotto knew he would be able to outbox Margarito. That was a given. What definetely threw him off and what Cotto did not anticipate (nor did I, or anyone else for that matter) was the fact that he was UNABLE to hurt Margarito. I beleive his strategy was that eventually he WOULD be able to slow Margarito down and would not have to maintain the pace of running and shooting for a full 12 rounds instead of just the first 6-8 rounds which was expected.

I honestly beleive Cotto will win a rematch. Cotto came into the fought thinking he would be able to hurt if not, at the very least SLOW Margarito down. Now that he's fully aware that Margariot CANNOT be hurt, I'm quite confident Cotto will go into the fight with the mentally that he MUST be prepared to RUN and SHOOT for the entire 12 rounds. He must build his endurance to the point where he could up the pace for a full 12 rounds. There is no question Cotto is the better boxer as the first 6 rounds of the fight were just amazing.

Come rematch time, I think Cotto will have the edge now that he knows what he knows.

I knew he'd put Cotto's chin up for a serious inspection. I just knew it.

Gamo, you must feel like the King of the world! 2-3 years ago?!!! Jeezuss, thats a log time to hype a guy.

Congrats on getting hitched, been with my girl since we were 15 years old (yea long time) and there's not a sporting event in the world i'd pick over her anyhow enough of that. Both guys gave a great perfomance,i'd probably even tip them if i thought the evil dish empire woud give it to them, and if i thought either guy would even notice an extra 50 cents or so....

Welcome back Gamo. There is a thread in here where many of us were getting worried about you.

Many said they think you got hitched up with a girl, in a way they were right!hehe

Congrats man.

It was a special night for me for a couple of reasons. One is that I have been a Margarito supporter for a long time, and it was great seeing him be on top of the world. It was also special because of just the performance itself, from both guys. If that isn't a classic we witnessed than I don't know what is.

Each fighter gave it everything; and I was just happy to witness it. Cotto will be back, he's not finished by a long shot, and will do what every great fighter who loses does; learn from it.

I'm hoping Cotto wins in a rematch just to set up a potentially lethal 3rd fight. How great would that be?

Cotto vs Margarito II




Congratulations on getting married and congratulations to Tony for his victory over Miguel.

[jonnie darko]

in my opinon chaps and congrats on getting hitched fella.. i think Mayweather avoided Antonio Margarito because he knew he was in for a serious life and death fight. I have not seen a guy suck up so much damage in the Cotto fight and continue to walk his man down since the rocky balboa films! similar to Ricky Hatton and tszyu.The man was on a mission and pain doesnt come into it at times, in my eyes Margarito has always been underlooked and cotto will come back back as hes a quality operator but the Mexican earnt me money as i knew it was his fight.

[Hulk]

First El Gamo Congratulations on getting married my friend! Thats great!

About the fight, well I feared it could happend this way, but I always felt Cotto was just too good for Margarito. Too fast, too good of boxer, too good of fighter.

But Margarito, was too good for Cotto! Or at least too damn tough. Man he can take a punch or a couple hundred. His will is greater than any one in boxing today or just as great.

I don't know if Cotto can ever beat Margarito, especially after that beating Margarito gave him.

Props to you for callin it you bastard. lol.

I, too, hate Floyd Mayweather, but there is no one's style I respect more in this game. I think his result demand it. Everyone he was supposed to lose to, everyone that was supposed to have a tough battle against, and it hasn't happened since castillo almost a decade ago. Cotto's strategy worked, but he didnt have the stamina or the defense, and completely gave up on a body attack, which we all know is his strong point. Floyd would employ an almost identical strategy and he could move for years around Marg. No one trains harder and no one can go as long. He could probably fight under those old prizefight rules when guys fought 30 and 40 rounds. All in all, good post.

[porkypara]

Cotto outboxed Margrito over the first 6 rounds.Landing hard jabs,upercuts and hooks.But AM keeps coming and the punches dont seem to afect him..

In the 7th Cotto seemed to run out of steam a bit.AM best round of the fight so far.

From then on I got the impression that MC was just about hagging in there,even though he was still landing good solid shots.But Margrito just kept on coming like an unstoppable force.

Round 11 Cotto went down as much from exahstion as the punches.He could not keep AM off him.It was if Cotto knew himself that he coud ot win.

Great fight for both boxers and also for boxing.

Good to see ya El Gamo.Congrats on hitching the trailer,hope ya find good times. I do have to say,There is a feeling of vindication seeing Margarito break through in the huge fight after soooo many years of doubters and out right dismissals . They really brought the best out of one another and reminded why we love this sport.Great fight!!
