Margarito Vs. Cotto is a Fight to Look Forward To

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

The rest of the year 2011 will see us looking forward to and watching many marquee match ups in boxing. There is the Sergio Martinez-Darren Barker bout this weekend and the highly touted Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez fight in November 12. However, the Antonio Margarito-Miguel Cotto match up this coming December 3 is one to look forward to with a different anticipation.

The Margarito-Cotto duel is an event worthy of a countdown. Compared to the other two huge fights, this face-off may not have the historic implications but it has the visceral appeal that is natural to boxing. This fight is about revenge versus redemption.

Cotto hates Margarito because he believes Margarito used loaded gloves to beat his head, steal the victory and illegally threaten his health or, worse, his life. On the other hand, Margarito is on the corner of being the boxer subjected to false accusations.

This Margarito-Cotto sequel comes with lots of burning questions. Will Cotto get revenge to poetically justify that Margarito may have truly used loaded hand wraps in the previous fight? Will the beating Margarito suffered from Pacquiao last year come out and be a factor? What has Cotto got left after 38 professoinal boxing matches? Will it be time that Cotto hurts Margarito? How far has Margarito gotten into Cotto's nerves? Will that be an advantage to Margarito or to Cotto?

These questions can only be answered when December 3 comes. A countdown is in order!
