Cotto-Margarito 24/7 episode 1 = A ton of complaining by Cotto
November 20th, 2011
By Dan Ambrose: I just finished watching Cotto-Margarito 24/7 episode 1 on HBO and I got to say WBO junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (36-2, 29 KO’s) sure does like to complain about his loss to the tough Mexican Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KO’s).
As it is, it’s difficult to get really excited about this fight given that Margarito is coming off of a lopsided 12 round decision loss to Manny Pacquiao a year ago last November, and has lost two out of his last three fights. And, besides that, Margarito is coming off of two surgeries on his right eye. Just those things alone make this a poorly planned fight. I want to see a rematch, but the timing for the rematch couldn’t be worse. And the complaining Cotto did all through the Cotto-Margarito 24/7 episode was more than a little off putting for me.
If I were a casual fan, I wouldn’t want to watch the fight after seeing this episode because it makes you question Margarito, and who wants to watch a fight like that? I, of course, think Margarito beat Cotto fair and square without loaded gloves. He was just the better man on that night. Cotto had already been exposed in previous fights for having conditioning problems, and by running around the ring all night long trying to escape Margarito’s constant pressure, it made things easier for Margarito to wear Cotto down and stop him in the later rounds.
Margarito said “It’s not that he’s winded, it’s the pressure put on him. Oh that Cotto, how he cries. Always full of excuses. I told Cotto, I never fought with anything. I don’t know what Cotto is afraid of. I told Cotto, ‘You wrap me. I’m going to beat you again.’ What’s he afraid of? Why does he cry so much? Why did he sign up for this fight? Maybe he doesn’t have a big heart. If he wants to take it personally, he can take it personally. I’m a clean fighter. There was nothing illegal. And that’s it.”
Cotto had this to say: “He used the plaster the night of the fight…I’m a better fighter today compared to when I fought Margarito.”
I agree with Margarito. Cotto is complaining too much. If he thinks Margarito fought with loaded hand wraps, then he shouldn’t have agreed to fight him again. He didn’t have to do it. Cotto will never know whether Margarito did or didn’t use loaded hand wraps, and it’s silly to speculate when you can’t know. The only thing Cotto does know is he got beat in that fight. That’s just the way it is. If he had been in better condition on that night, I think he would have won. But Cotto was exhausted by the 10th round from his constant movement and when he did finally stop for a moment on the ropes, that’s when Margarito got him.
If Cotto wants to win this fight, he’s going to have to conserve his energy because I doubt Cotto’s conditioning has gotten any better in the past three years. He’s 31 now, and fighters typically don’t get better in terms of conditioning as they age. At 28, that was probably Cotto at his best when he lost to Margarito. The only changes I can see since then is Cotto is moving more and using his jab a lot. But he looked bad when he was taking pressure from 38-year-old Ricardo Mayorga in his last fight last March. Mayorga isn’t the same fighter he once was, but he gave Cotto a lot of problems in the early part of the fight before tiring out.

cotto cant beat margo on any day of the week, Fact
He will take a knee and quit for his kids lol
Who wouldn’t complain when it’s obvious the guy beat you up because he was using illegal hand wraps? In fact, I’d not only be complaining I’d be wanting to kill that cheater.
everyone knows that ugly mexican cheated. Miguel is going to destroy margacheato and that eye of his will not hold up. Miguel will win by tko because the mexicans eye will be badly beaten which will cause the ref to stop the fight and the mexican will have to retire.
The festival of ignorance and cafe puro lead the show… Please everybody know cotto will beat margarito easy
Cafe puro? You are nothing but cafe con chicharo, revienta cafetera!!!! Jajajajajajajajajaja
You talk about black thugs, you make me laugh. You cant aford to go to a divisa not even internet nor a descent tv channel. No wonder you only know jlo and marc anthony. 90% cubans are black and barely dress you turned up to be a clown.
Yeah right, cubaward, ive been there, seen how good you are. Why do you leave ? If you are so good at boxing where are your champions. How many do you have? You are probably so dumb you dont know all pr artists and sportsmen. By the way jlo and marc are pr descendants not waisting my time mentioning them this space is not big enough. I understand news and knowledge in cuba are 54 years on delay. All you cubans copy us puertoricans even our music. Gente de zooooooona. Los aldeanos. Anyway your inferiority in everything compared to us is evident not waisting more energy on cubawad. Expatriado sigue en tu revolucion y envidiando los BORICUAS. GO FLOAT SOMEWERE ELSE!!!
We collect the most gold medals in the Olympics . Specially in boxing check the stats.
LOL@Ortiz the only famous people we all know from P-Rico is J-Lopez and Marc Anthony..lol…hahahahaha! Whats really disgusting is that your people dresses up like black thugs,and even act and talk like them.We are ok here in Cuba viva Fidel Castro!!
Cotto 100% will win!!!!!!!!
its my and only my opinion.cotto not going to last 12rnds.im verry sorry to say that.i like cotto more than verry good fighter margarito.cotto got no stamina to go 12.margarito can and can take punchis all 12rnds.beter fighter win.
Ay cafe puro ricans are so stupid for handing over our island to usa that this is why of all the caribbean and all latin america we are economically stable and advanced. We are the onlyones that stay on our country without fleeing like cowards. That is why you run as the cowards you are to the usa or p r that you just critized. Now who is stupid or coward. We talk the talk and walk the walk.
Puerto rico is known around the world for the multimillionare artists,multiple boxing champions, gold medals in basketball, extraordinary baseball players amoung many others beside our size wich compared to cuba is 7%. Your country is known for stupidity, comunist and for keeping an opresor for 54 years without trying to free your people. All you do is float anywhere you are a COWARD. RICANS ARE FEARED IN WAR, BOXING AND EVEFYTHING WE DO FOR THE COURAGE FROM OHR HEARTS. THATS WHY MEXICANS FEAR US AND LOAD THEIR GLOVES. COMEPINGA!!!!
True cafe puro we didnt fight to free our island we just wait for you to run like cowards from yours instead of fighting for your own. If your heart is so big why did you flee your preciouse island and didnt fight to free it from fidel. Shut up you know nothing of heart, boxing nor politics.
Manny and margarito cheat we know that for sure..
The only good thing margarito can do right know is make a taco.. The dude is done miguel will destroy tha eye for sure..cafe puro we know what you are I saw you on tv in the coast off miami the coast guard got you you dumb cuban

Ortiz says:Cafe puro just floated out of his cave, his ignorance is understandable. All he knowns is Revolucion.

and what is your island known for ? lol….For nothing you Boricrys just handed your island to the USA without fighting. Thats a very puss* thing to do. Thats why you ricans have no heart.
@Ort!tz
Cotto is done already. He should just retire and get his last pay-check. Cotto even said in the face “I’m not ready to die in the ring ” those word are from Puss* @$$ Boricry. Margarito is a true warrior and very humble reminds of my tio.
Greetings to Mexicans by a Cubano!! Mantequilla Napoles unides us.

Dan ambrose cracks me up. He write an article complaining about someone else complaining, and all he ever does is complain. He has never written a logic or rational boxing article and never will. Why do I even bother reading this…???!!
Since margacheato got caught with plaster loaded gloves he has lost all his fights. Get real, its obvious he is a poor looser and a cheater. Every expert questions his achievements exept ambrose… is he blind, stupid or what? Cafe puro just floated out of his cave, his ignorance is understandable. All he knowns is Revolucion.
If margacheatos is so good and beat cotto fair and square… why would he use plaster loaded gloves for an older and less dangerouse mosley?
Most of you will get mad at the end of the fight, because Cotto will win this fight. Margarito has had too much tough fights since the win over Cotto. He also had a freaky damaged eye now. And he can say all he wants remember smoking joe frazier? he also had a bad eye and that’s never FINE. The eye will get worse. Margarito couldn’t even knockout what’s his name…. Roberto Garcia. We all know that he used plaster we all know it. Cotto has taken the easier fights recently his body did not take the abuse Toney did. Either Tko stoppage win for Cotto because of the eye or a UD 115-113.
first antonio , then floyd mayweather , then manny pacqiuao.
Margarito is a punching bag. No wraps, no pop. Just Arums crash test dummy. I hope Cotto wins but something tells me he will run out of gas. Manny smashed both these guys because they were sold out by Arum. Arum picked Manny over Cotto. Made him give up his belt at a catchweight. Margarito? How is he still making a living? This fight should not be happening.
Margarito will defeat cotton even with no working eyes
You all sound like old ladies fighting here. These bums are in their way out.
I think Cotto wins this one. Margarito hasn’t shown anything since the scandal. I think the first time around he cheated and this time against Cotto he’ll find himself without enough firepower. Cotto wins a 12 round UD.
Yall see that f*ked up eye its just wide open not fully healed Cotto’s prolly thinking left hooks on that eye and strong jabs.
and cotto takes a knee!
Margarito wins this by the way I’m Cubano hermanos.
Also out of the subject from this fight…Gamboa would smoke Lopez with one hand tie behind his back.
hahahahaha! Keep crying Boricrys.hahahaha!
Viva Polvo Frito! hahahaha!
Cotto will quit again. Then tony and Bam Bam will cross the border back to Mexico and celebrate. Then what excuses will you ricans have?
@ keep it real for your info margarito was born in torrence ca but raised in tijuana and he will make cotto take a knee again
After watching the episode I’m ready for the fight.
Margacheto should be deported back to his cage.Never be able to jump over the wall or cross the river to try and make it back to the U.S.
After watching Margacheatos last 3 fights I dont think he can punch his way out of a paperbag. His punches have no power anymore. I see a very lopsided victory for Cotto in this one.
You will see the difference, Cotto doesnt need to box , He needs to do like mosely hit first and dont get hit never go back side to side and hit him first, Margacheato is a brute, Bruto bruto in english is Ambrose! estupido!!!!!
You ricans make me laugh!!! Stop makin excuses. Shut up and fight or go kick rocks!
Cafepuro dont tell people what you do on the weekends.. And tge biggest cry baby and hater here is you dan ambrose every body knows that
Cafepuro tu eres rl mama bich mexican , every body know margarito cheat and if he did it once he did it twice , and when it comes down to the 24/7 cotto just told the truth the evidence is there … and miguel got cheated twice no just one time ask manny also a cheater…
Lmfprao… Margo got caught with plaster that had dried blood on it and that’s that… Cotto is much faster much more powerful and skillful… Ambrose I can’t wait to hear what you have to write about after Cotto puts his rage on Margo…lol you still haven’t mentioned that your Mexican, we all know you are… There are Mexicans that don’t like the idea of Margo cheating. Why do you?
The fight is on and Cotto’s just adding more entertainment to it, that’s boxing… Intimidation does work when you get your oppenent angry on something so small and simple. Marquez did it to Pac using t-shirts lol!!!
The end of the article makes sense. Moseley had a tough fight with mayorga just before battering margarito.
I’ll be ‘Keeping a good eye for this fight’.
Cotto is ah good fighter he got cheated by two dirty fighters mr steroid man n plaster man margerita. cotto knows wats at stake win he fights margerita next month cottos a differnt fighter now he’s alot better then afther those two losses he boxes smart n is more careful win he fights he uses the jab more to set his apponet up with good counter shots to the body an the head with decent power cotto will target margeritas left eye useing a in n out strategy head movement n foot work to fraustrate margerita n make him swing wild slow punches then counter with a double jab right hook n then box this clowns face off cotto wins by late rd tko or ud
Margaritio will beat cotto with one good eye.
bring it on you cry baby mama bicho Boricry!
it was a bit much and iam a cotto fan but margarito acts like a d bag saying he didnt know before mosley than how would he know if they were wrapped with cotto margarito then looks at a picture of a cracked wrap and says its not he lied on a camera about something ray charles could see he s acheater no doubt about it that being said he has a chance to win this fight on stanima alone
Bring it on plaster hands,its pay back time for you,you cheating taco mex c@nt!!
Cotto can’t bust a grape! He will take a knee again. Tornado will destroy NYC.
Cotto is a P$$$y, complaint all you want, makes you a true pueto Rican………lol Step up to the plate!!!!!! fight or don’t fight…..WTF
Dan i would complain to,If my career and life was on the line.Margachito laughs which makes me wonder did he even care.Him and his promoter got away with a crime.Cotto work on that eye…..
Pacquiao already step on the faces of these 2 drunkies.nya! hahahaha!
Margarito is a walking punch bag. Even with his guard up you can smack him in the chops.
Not sure what Cotto has left but I hope he gets a KO. Margarito shows Mexicans in a bad light.
Cotto has the right to complain he was cheated. and come Dec 3rd he will have his revenge
I’m Mexican and I’m rooting for Cotto. It looks like his working on his conditioning and looks fast and strong. He should win by UD but it will be tough.
I’m Puerto Rican and I’m going for Margalito to win by ko. Cotto lacks of training , he doesn’t have the Stamina nor the right boxing style to beat the T.J. Tornado. Cotto is gets hit by uppercuts because his head is way to down almost like looking at the floor.
Cotto has the rite to complain because margerita knows wat he had underneth his gloves n the one who wrap his hands knew about this scandle. thats y before the mosley fight mosleys trainer wanted to see mareritas hand wraps n guess wat he got cought with loaded gloves so yes cotto has the rite to complain he could’ev bin killed that nite. But all I can say is that cheater got cought
Tony to win agaim
I don’t care what they say, but margarito will beat cotto once again! cotto will probably dominate the first rounds like he did in he first fight but once margarito starts nailing cotto it’s gonna be obvious that Margarito is just too much
Margo is a cheater and Cotto is a never was…the only thing good about this fight is that they are both club fighters so it could be a good fight..
Maybe this writer needs to be hit with plaster loaded gloves….i believe he did use the illegal wraps for the fact that hes so defensive n angry about it when ppl mention it….i used to think he didnt but its clear that he did…
Cotto,s boxing and skill will,get the win in a very hard fight,against hard as nail,s margarito
Margaritio by t.k.o. easy win for him
