I just don't get why there is no post fight discussion on one of the biggest fights of the year?
Here, I'll kick it off.
I forget who made the post, but it read:
I don't see how this fight will be any different than the first.
In an attempt to try and correct misinformation and hopefully help poster avoid losing money, I tried to mention one of the two
glaring reasons why this fight would end differently, but was met with a brick wall. I didn't even get to bring up the second reason, in fact nobody has even mentioned it in this thread. Elephant in the room.
Let's address the first reason, the eye. It was a problem by the third round and ended up being the reason the fight ended. This really wasn't that hard to
see coming. But you would think I'm talking to Elie Seckbach in this thread or something. "Doctors robbed Margarito. He faked the swelling so Cotto would punch himself out. Reportinnnnng." :facepalm:
Shit, this isn't even to mention the hand wrap issue. Anyone who didn't think Margarito used illegal wraps in the first Cotto fight is a damn fool. So, one would think the absence of those illegal wraps would have an effect on the outcome of this fight, no? I wonder why Cotto's face wasn't swollen, I wonder why those digs to the body didn't take anything out him like they did in the first fight? hmmmm.
Cotto's movement is far worse now than before
:facepalm:
in the 24/7 episodes, trainer Robert Garcia is shown asking all of Margarito's sparring partners to repeatedly target his eye w/ left hooks, as that is what he anticipates Cotto doing
If was thinking to myself how pointless this was when I read it. Especially considering Margarito didn't even bother to keep his hand up, he just ate shots chasing Cotto around the ring. He probably shouldn't have even sparred, just did more damage to his eye.
Maybe it might be a good idea to avoid using 24/7 as a handicapping tool.
I took Cotto before this eye business ever came up, thats why I said people must be nuts to take margarito now. Cotto would have whooped him even if the eye wasn't an issue :shrug:
Worst part about it is that moronic sycophants like Weasel chime in like a fly to shit with their endorsements. Let me ask you Weasel, were you truly interested in providing he forum with accurate information? Or did you already like Margarito for a while now but were to much of a coward to spin your own fairy tale about why he will win?
