Margarito vs. Cotto II may be moving to Texas

As much as I don't care for Margarito, Arum is a scumbag for getting this guy cleared to fight when he obviously should not be fighting. He's going to end up blind in his fucked up eye.

 

I thought Cotto has looked pretty good at 154.

 

I thought he looks slow and average vs. both Mayorga and Foreman...

 

can't wait for this. cotto is gonna beat the living shit outta cheatarito

 

He looked good against Foreman, and I thought the Mayorga fight was overstated as being close. Cotto was never in danger of losing that fight.

Margarito is the one far worse for the wear. In fact, he hasn't looked good SINCE the Cotto fight.

 

Hearing is set for tomorrow (Tuesday) at 3PM to determine whether or not Margarito gets licensed in NY. Top Rank has contingency plans in place (Denver and Phoenix).

Last week, the front was that Texas was in play, but was never going to be Dallas. Arum had a quick conversation with Jerry Jones, but the fact that Pac-Margarito regressed from Pac-Clottey spooked Jones a bit. If anything, San Antonio was the front runner if it wound up in Texas.

50/50 that it remains in NY, which is better odds than last week.

Both sides (NYSAC and Top Rank) fucked up, this whole mess could've been avoided had everyone properly done their job.

 

denver or phoenix? damn. good thing i didn't book my room in ny.

considering this 'independent' doctor is the one making the decision, i'd assume it will go on in new york as planned. at least i hope so.

 

Miguel Cotto says if WILL NOT fight outside of NY. It's on fightnews video. He clearly says the contract he signed is for NY.

 

Texas..........Jesus!


That's all we need is for Lawrence "Look At Me Dad Im On TV" Cole, to fuck up another fight. :shit:

Don't blame him.

 

Would be poetic justice.

 

So if the fight moved to say, East Rutherford, NJ, Cotto wouldn't fight there :scratcher:

 

i figured that would be the most logical place, but who knows, maybe they already have an event lined up for that saturday. that place is less than 30 minutes away from MSG.

 

I just looked it up on google, it's not even 10 miles away

 

yea i went there to watch fedor vs. big foot. hung out in manhattan afterwards and remembered that it was a short drive.

 

according to d rafael, new jersey isn't an option. would have similar issues there.

oh well, the hearing's about to start soon, so i guess we'll find out in a bit.

 

everyone's running late. meeting got delayed to at least an hour.

 

What a fuck-up this fight turned out to be. I almost hope they just cancel the whole thing.

 

cotto seems to hope so as well

 

Anywhere I can watch or follow online?

Thanks

No video means it hasn't started I'm guessing?

 

Same now. Doesn't look like they have started.

 

i aint watchin i dont have that media player but on twitter iole said it appeared to be some action a few minutes ago

 

Yeah people are moving around, but I have to assume at least someone will be sitting at the board table when it gets going.

 

It's a public hearing. It should.

 

Sound is on
