With The Battle being 3 saturdays from today, I wanted to make a thread regarding the predictions of how the fight will be and the outcome of the fight to see if people have changed their minds about who they think is going to win and how.
I predict Cotto to win by TKO in the 10th round. From what I have seen of Margarito and what he has stated in interviews he used to fire up late in the fight but he has stated that since the Paul Williams fight he is looking to firing up fast, so I expect Margarito to keep his word and starting up fast, which means Cotto which usually fires up late to box in the early rounds entering and punching his way through Margarito's body each time he opens up. Then in the middle rounds it will be when Cotto starts to fire up and punch more while still boxing. In the 7th round I expect Cotto to start his vicious assault to the body, in the 9th round I see Cotto breaking Margarito down and him being knocked down and in the 10th Cotto will continue his assault until Margarito breaks down completely and is knocked down after he rises up I see Cotto continuing the assault until the referee stops the fight.
The reason I believe it will go by TKO in favor of Cotto since Cotto is primarily a body puncher and let me remind you Margarito has been knocked down three times in the past (against Danny Perez, Miguel Gonzales and Juan Soberanes) and although those fights where ten years ago and early in Margarito's career I expect Cotto to follow these men and knock Margarito down or out. I honestly can't wait for The Battle it will be a great fight and let the best man win. Here is the promo just to satisfy your appetites a bit:
