[Brother Mouzone]

i agree with all can't wait for the 26th. this fight will be FOY !!!!......i think cotto will pull it out but would not be surprised to see both guys hit the canvas at least once during the fight.

Indeed it is coming closer, can't wait to see Cotto win a clear UD in this one.

I am. If it goes as planned, this should be as good as Trinidad/Vargas, regardless of the winner.

wow...good call...

[Kastrioti]

Some people are thinking it will be some all out bloody war, maybe it will be, it will be more exciting, but I think it will just be Cotto keeping distance, and when needed, go quickly on the inside, do damage to body and head to the slower Margarito, and repeat, it will be an easy UD for him IMO. Margarito doesn't offer much variety to Cotto.

I expect this fight to be even better.

Margarito is the one who is going to get hurt if he wants to go to war with Cotto, meaning if Margarito wants to fight close up I think he'd be the one making the huge mistake because Cotto is strong enough to hurt Margarito. And Cotto has no choice at times in this fight other then to fight close since I'm pretty sure he doesn't have the reach advantage

Yep, Cotto is definitely strong enough to hurt Marg, and he is also much faster and has more varitey than Marg, Marg's punches are very slow compared to Cotto's. Also, believe me Cotto will be better than Marg on the outside, Cotto's jab is better than Margs. Unless Marg catches Cotto with some unlikely punch, Cotto will win an easy UD or like you say even a TKO, because I think Marg would always make the 10 count.

Wonder why you say that. Margs has fought much bigger guys and they didn't even faze him while Cotto's been pretty rocked by Chop-Chop and Torres.

Yea man, I'm very excited about this fight. I can barely wait any longer!!!!! This is going to be a tremendous fight.

Cotto goes to the body a lot, just because you can take a punch to the chin doesn't mean body shots won't hurt you and tire you out.
