Tony Was A Tiger Coming On Late
If Marg was “brickless” this time out you'd think that Cotto would have the courage to duke it out with Marg. Cotto now knows for sure whether or not Margarito truly had something in his gloves the night they first fought. During the round prior to the stoppage when the doctors almost stopped the fight, you could see in Cotto's face how desperately he wanted the fight to be stopped. He wanted the win so bad but at the same time the fight had already began to look like their first fight where Marg was getting to Cotto more and more frequently. I'm not saying Marg would've pulled off the stoppage had the fight been allowed to continue, but Cotto most certainly did not want to find out. —TSS reader Fighter for JC saw Margarito coming on late
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
