Miguel Cotto Welcomes a Margarito Rematch Next June

[commandant]

Come the **** on. You act as if Marg dominated the entire fight.

to make someone give up his undeafted record is pretty humiliating though. I wont take away from cotto boxing skill cause he does have mad boxing skillz.

Tyde 13- Remember Cotto could box on the ropes if he wants but Margarito will cut that ring off when he's ready to throw a thousand punches and you have to admit he's great at that.

if i would give cotto an advice i would tell him to learn how to clinch...

Well I will be honest with you, I'm abit old school and I don't dispute that. I just don't agree that you can take a weak chined fighter and all of a sudden make him have good wiskers.

I know that when your tired or dehydrated, you are more prone to getting hurt, no doubt. I just think when you look at fighters like Chavez, Margarito, Baldomir, they just have "it".

You can't train someone's chin to be that strong. That's why a good trainer will always train a fighter to his/her strengths, not try and mold them into what he wants them to be.

No doubt about it. Some fighters have this "it" you're talking about. A strong chin that comes a bit more naturally. And I'm not sure how much more resistant a person can become against ko's in applying this method, but the logic behind it seems to add up.

I'm sure there is new training methods that can improve mayeb even your chin but I guarantee you that Margarito will always be able to take Cotto's punch while Cotto will not be able to take Margarito's punch no matter how hard or what method Cotto uses.

Cotto is the better boxer but Marg just willed his way to a win and I don't see that changing. It's kind of like Barerra vs Junior Jones, Barerra was the better boxer and will go down as a legend but just couldn't beat Jones no matter how he fought.

Yea, I'm curious to see how much of a difference practicing this method can make on a boxer like Cotto. I can't imagine it would alter a person to THAT MUCH of an extreme, so I'd have to agree. If Marg trains the way he did last time, Cotto might be headed for another disaster. Marg'll be able to take Cotto's punch (at least to the head we know for sure), and Cotto will face the same chin issue.
Hope I'm wrong, no doubt I'm routing for Cotto.

Cotto can win this one. People are hyping Margarito to be some unbeatable god now after the first fight. He is beatable, it will be tough, but Cotto can do it.

i agree with that, it will be tough but doable.

[Mojita]

Margarito is beatable but Cotto does not have the tools to do the job. He has no ****en chin and can't take a true welters punch. He got rocked in the second round by a Margarito body shot.

Dude. He took Marg's shots for 11 rounds. Hence better conditioning and no busted nose he goes the full 12 rounds on his feet, win or lose.

[Rompeboca]

Cotto Will Take The Rematch.

Cotto Will Make Adjustments.

What Adjustments Can Antonia Make? Eat More Hooks Instead Of Rights?

Or a new perm! lol very true, Margarito would lose the rematch

hell yea he can, im a boxer myself and 1 thing ive learned is that drama and family BULLSHYT like the one that cotto was goin thru with his uncle can affect a boxer in the ring, margarito has no defense what so ever! cotto works on his defense a bit, watches tapes on margarito especially his fight with him, REMEMBERS to go to the body how he usually did in all his other fights, and goes for more combonations and he can even score a knockdown over margarito..not a knock out but a knockdown, remember that cotto is 1 of the hardest body punchers in his division.. if he can take margaritos legs away from him by gettin him in the body and watch out for margaritos lethal uppercuts then the fight can be his.. margaritos deadliest punch is his uppercut cuz other then that cotto pretty much got the reflexes to dodge anything else like he did in the first few rounds...

[gcolon88]

yup, his nose was the main thing that messed em up, having trouble breathing aint gonna keep u goin for long but even so, he last 11 rounds, avoid that upper to the nose and he can out box margarito easily..

[AntonTheMeh]

first off, to NOT sit on the ****ing ropes is not a ****ing tool or a skill, it's very simple, get the **** off the ropes.

marga fans are a little worried.they saw how much like **** marga looked in that fight.
what got him the win was cotto's mistakes.
