Antonio Margarito presents a challenge, but Miguel Cotto doesn't worry about what he can't control. He prepares to win.

Margarito by sd

Cotto also one of the most devastating body punchers we'll see in our lifetimes. And it goes without saying that he can brawl with the best of them.
For that reason, I'm picking Cotto to prevail in a grueling war by a 12-round split decision.!

Megarodon

I dont think it'll be that close. Cotto by UD or late stoppage

I doubt Margarito will start fast as he said he's been doing after the Paul Williams fight. Did you see how fast he came out in the Cintron fight? Pathetic. He thinks thats fast. Mosley and Judah are much faster than him and he said he's gonna start out fast and see if Cotto can take it. lol he's a funny guy

As the fight draws nearer I have the feeling that he might even be able to stop Margarito with an accumulation of punishment in the later stages of what should be an unforgettable encounter.?
