Margarito: Cotto hits like a girl; I’m not someone who beats up my family
November 30th, 2011
By Dan Ambrose: Antonio Margarito scored some major points during Wednesday’s final press conference with WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto after a heated exchange. Margarito said “Here comes the criminal; open the doors for the criminal.
Margarito, of course, is talking about the incident between Cotto and his uncle/trainer, who Cotto beat up in 2009.
Margarito doesn’t care for Cotto calling him a criminal considering that there is zero proof that Margarito destroyed Cotto with the help of plaster in his hand wraps the time that the Cotto and Margarito fought against each other in 2008.
Cotto is speculating that because Margarito was caught with loaded hand wraps before his fight against Shane Mosley in 2008, then Margarito likely fought with plaster in his bout with him a year earlier in 2008. However, it’s all guesswork on Cotto’s part, without proof and it seems to be making him more and more furious with each passing day.
Margarito isn’t doing anything to spur this anger; Cotto is doing it all himself by just guessing. It’s sad; really, because Cotto is just going to be in a bad state by the time the two fighters step into the ring and will end up foolishly attacking Margarito and trying to trade with him toe-to-toe.
Cotto doesn’t have the size, chin, skin or the weapons to stand up and beat Margarito in a slugging match. Cotto’s only hope of winning this fight is to hit and run and pray that he’s still standing at the end of the fight. If he’s still on his two feet at the end of the fight, I see him winning. But if there’s going to be a knockout, it’s going to be Margarito that doe the knocking out. Cotto will be the victim.
Margarito said “He [Cotto] can hit my eye as much as he wants. He hits like a little girl. A super flyweight hits harder.”
Cotto’s punches had no effect on Margarito last time they fought and it’ll likely be the same on Saturday night. Cotto started out as a light welterweight and although he’s now moved up two divisions, he’s still pretty much a light welterweight in terms of power. He can’t hurt Margarito and if he tries, he’s going to get knocked out.

Thts beautiful lol
margarito must think he hits like a girl himself if he uses plasta
cotto will thrash him!!!!
One thing for certain, Margarito is relentless… and that will serve him well in this fight… win lose or draw. Lotta good fights this month, and this will definitely be one of them, no matter who wins.
Dan, your willing to give a known and proven cheater the benefit of the doubt. Why would he need to cheat against Mosley if he just beat Cotto and Cotto had already beaten Mosley. The truth is you don’t like Puerto Ricans and that is why you disparage Cotto.
Cotto on his knees crying like a girl… Hahaha
Judah pacman and mosely said yea he hits like a girl…lol
You ShOuld ask judah, mosely even pacman if cotto hits like a girl
Give them both illegal handwraps and let them box til one cant stand. Like men should do

Coto should try to rip cheato eye out of hi head.this man cheated the sport of boxing and should have never been able to fight again.he could have kill coto with them bricks in his gloves.
Dan why you only do post about Cotto, thats the only boxer that you like. You dont do this for a living? Ihope not.

he beat up a guy who has looked like shyt in his past three fights. wow huge victory there
Cotto will pay comin Dec.3….can’t wait to hear there excuses then.
he said he comes the criminal because someone in the audience yelled “criminal”,not because he’s taunting. also the winner of that verbal confrontation was Cotto!
you know very little about a subject you write about.
Margarito would’t last a full round with me. He’s shot and a little kitty cat.
Ok dan wait and see. First off everyone knows he cheated we dint need proof we saw the pictures and that’s enough proof. Second margaritos eye will not hold up. This fight will end in tko in the eighth or ninth round. Cotto wins and then what are you going to say about cotto then? I can’t wait to shut ur mouth when he wins
