:hammert:Let's get this party started bitches!!!!! As soon as anyone here has pics or the video post it here!!!!:cheer::cheer::cheer:
Damn, Cotto looks like he did in the Paulie Malignaggi weight-in! *like a concentration camp prisioner* Tony looks strong, though.
Cotto must start the first round with good solid low blows!opcorn: That's a damn big scary mejicano!:bangh:

Haha. That had to be one of the most ridiculous theories I heard this year. Right up there with Mayweather retiring to duck Cotto. Like I said, say what you want about Margarito, I can't see why anyone wouldn't like him. He calls out the best, fights the best available and doesn't make ridiculous money or location demands. EVERY fighter should be like that!
You gotta understand where that's coming from. People like Kauki and Double L were saying that Cotto was the one ducking Margarito, right after the Williams fight, completely overlooking the fact that Margarito was offered a fight agaisnt Cotto but declined to face Williams, for good reasons IMO. So Illu started saying that in reaction to the rubbish these guys post.
DAMN didn't realize there would be this much of a size difference. This will be a great fight! Can't wait to see how Cotto reacts when he isn't able to control the pace of the fight. I definitely see Cotto trying to box like he did in the latter stages of the Mosley fight, but with Margarito's size and relentless offense I can definitely see him getting worn down late, but IMO Cotto is one of the most mentally tough fighters in the game right now! Can't wait to see how Margarito reacts to Cotto's shots - you know he's gonna eat a lot of those punches! Is he gonna smile and keep plodding forward like he did vs Cintron and Williams, or will he get stunned by those short accurate punches ala Clottey? Look for Margarito to land those wild uppercuts and Cotto to land some punishing body shots. The closer we get to the fight, the more I am torn about who's going to win - either way it's gonna be a GREAT fight. Kudos to both guys for making this fight happen.
