As long as the fight doesn't get rescheduled, then Im good. Hope they dont fuck this up...

So....the fight is but a mere 2+ wks away and NOW they sort this out? What about AC (I'm asking this as if you all have input on this)?

ay...good for NY, I think that bum Margarito should of been banned even before the Mosley fight when Naazim found the plaster on his hands.. and he took away a great boxer in Cotto because after that fight he has never been the same. after all that though....I still want to see the fight...especially after seeing OG Cotto scare Margarito the way he did in HBO's faceoff. I hope Cotto beats the shit outta him

There are a few factors to this shit that could prove detrimental...

1. Who in the hell else will accept Margarito's application for a license, besides the state of Texas? Hell, they have to make sure nothing else is going on in the Cowboys Stadium that night. If not, will there be a venue available on Dec. 3rd in a "boxing friendly/boxing familiar" venue/state? If so, will they still accept the piece of shit's application?

2. what about ticket sells? Have they already gone on sale? Hope not, because the folks that actually have to TRAVEL to NY will be pissed...especially if they've made traveling arrangements.

3. Cotto had problems with fighting on the west coast when he fought Margarito the last time in Vegas. From his side of the story, he and his entourage were basically treated like shit the whole time. Im sure its been worked out because he did fight Pac a year later in Vegas, so I guess this wont be as big of an issue.

Money talks, so let's see how it works this situation out...

If the above is true, Cshely...road trip?????

Damn Noles, I do want to come back home in one piece bro I have the tendency to go out and get shit-faced hammered, and I like doing that...just gott amake sure Im in a safe location. Mississippi!? Damn thats a drastic change from NY. The crazy part is, I forgot about how much damage his eye sustained NY aint tryin' to get stuck with the smokin' gun I dont blame 'em...

LOL....you're in ATL, right? Hop, skip and jump. Plus, get a room...you can get sh*t-faced, gamble a bit and who knows? Plus, I know a couple of people down there (Biloxi, I'm assuming).

Sounds like a plan! I have people in LA...another hop, skip, and jump from there. You reeled me in with the gambling part, almost forgot. I hit up LA back in May and got shit-faced at the slots at The Eldorado! Now Im hoping that they move it to Mississippi for my own selfish reasons!

Yep, we can do that!!!! Drop a lil' bit on the roulette wheel and check out the Latina talent on deck!

It's nice to know some of boxing.actually has standards.. but its kind stupid to do.it so close to fight time.

Me, too, but I sure as hell wouldn't put my $$$ on Cotto. Tony is in dude's head and as a result, Cotto is already behind 3 rounds. Personally, I wouldn't have ever fought him again. What's funny is, the guy who said he needs this fight, is also the same cat Cotto "let go". Everyone telling him to take this fight, wasn't hittin' Margs with the kitchen sink, only to have Tony walk through 'em like he was on a civil rights march. Moreover, they sure as hell don't have to get back in the ring with him again.

Expect Margs, in his usual sinister-looking self, to tax that @$$ again, but earlier (say....'round 8)

Cotto wins by UD. Bob Arum is an idiot for not clearing Margarito for this fighter BEFORE nearly selling out the fight at the MSG. Doesn't matter where the fight is, Cotto will win decisively by decision. Wish it would be at the MSG because that would just be electrifying. Don't get me wrong, this is a tough fight for Cotto stylistically but there is no way Cotto makes the same mistake twice and tries to outbang MargaCHEATO. Easy money on Cotto

Famous last words

maybe they did that on purpose to further teach him a lesson and mess up the plans



Initially I was thinking that Margarito would probably win...but after seeing Faceoff and with Cotto saying that this time he will be "prepared"..makes me think that Cotto has something up his sleeve. Shiiit...they both will probably walk in that ring on some juice

This is what I believe too.. but there's a couple of factors that make this an even more interesting fight. Ever since cotto was mauled by marg and beaten by pac he has had a couple of fights to sort of fix his mentality in the ring and gain some confidence back, marg hasn't had that luxury after getting his face punched in by pac so mentally we haven't seen how he will be. But there is a tremendous amount of pressure on cotto. Another factor is that marg walked through cottos punches at 147 and cotto has always had weight issues. Though ive never though he was a big puncher the extra weight could give him a little more power..but like I said I still think marg is just all wrong for cotto. Marg by stoppage

Bring it to Houston!!!!

I would LOVE to see Cotto mop the floor with this POS!

If Toyota Center is booked....there is always Reliant Arena, Vorizon Wireless, Houston Raceway Park....hell you could even use the Ford Center out in Beaumont!

Cotto by UD

Sure about that?

Puuuhhhllleeeease!!! Cotto ain't Mexican and we all KNOW what happens to NON-MEXICAN fighters in Texas, let alone HOUSTON. Plus, the whole reason the fight is in NY is to appease Cotto, as they felt they weren't treated very well out west for their first fight.

Yea Houston would make it cotto vs four people.. they are worse than st Louis

Not so fast on that....although TX does have a LOT of Mexicans....Margarito's possible dirty tactics does not make him loved despite his nationality...

It would not be the Pro Mexican bout you all seem to think it would be....

TX might love it's Mexican fighters.....but it still HATES a F'N cheater....in that sense it equals out!

Double post.

Really? Was that the reason, during introductions, for the loud roar and cheers when Margarito's named was called? You know...b/c Mexican fight fans hate cheaters?

This shit is pretty much gonna sell, regardless of where its held...well, everywhere except the Pontiac Silver Dome

LOL!!!!! WTF's idea was that?

Hahahaha!!! Ask DK and Shaw about that Pontiac Silver Dome tragedy with Bradley and Alexander. They sure as hell didn't want it in STL, just in case the judges decide to nod off during rounds and give 'em to Alexander.
