Margarito: I'm Not Cotto, I Don't Beat Up Family Members!
GrantZilla Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:02 pm
NEW YORK — Antonio Margarito embraced his role as the villain even more Wednesday during a final press conference for his rematch with Miguel Cotto on Saturday night.
“Here comes the criminal,” Margarito said after reaching the microphone in The Theater at Madison Square Garden. “Open the door for the criminal.”
Margarito managed to make their grudge rematch more personal, too, by referencing the infamous fight Cotto had with his uncle and former trainer Evangelista Cotto in April 2009.
Cotto fired his uncle following that incident, during which Evangelista Cotto reportedly threw a cement block at Miguel Cotto. It missed Miguel Cotto, but reportedly broke a window in his Jaguar. Evangelista Cotto suffered minor injuries in the fight, but ended up in the hospital.
“I’ve been called a criminal by this man next to me,” Margarito said regarding Cotto. “I don’t know why he calls me a criminal. I am not a person that beats up on his own family.”
Margarito’s remark drew oohs and aahs from those in attendance, but Cotto remained calm as one of boxing’s most controversial figures spoke a few feet from where Cotto was seated.
“They say that I’m not a great person, that I’m not a gentleman,” Margarito continued. “I don’t know why they say that.”
Margarito then mocked Cotto some more, noting that he isn’t worried about Cotto targeting his surgically repaired right eye in their 12-round fight for Cotto’s WBA super welterweight title.
“He says he’s not going to have no mercy on my eye,” Margarito said. “He can hit my eye as many times as he wants. He hits like a little girl. A super flyweight hits harder. He wants to take it personal. I’ll take it very personal, too. Do whatever you want. He’s not going to beat me at all. Never. Never.”

I think he's fully embraced the villian role. And why not. Nobody ever going to consider him to be a good guy at this point.

Margarito: Fans Won't Help Cotto, He Gets KO'd Again
The first time they fought in July 2008, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27KOs) had crowd filled with Mexicans to support his cause. This Saturday the rematch takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and now WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (36-2, 29KOs) is going to be the arena hero. Thousands of Puerto Rican fans have already scooped up tickets to watch Cotto's attempt to avenge his eleventh round TKO loss.
Cotto is undefeated at Madison Square Garden, winning all seven of his past fights at the venue. Margarito is not worried about the crowd. He wants to keep his entire focus on the action in the ring.
"They [the fans] can't help him. I know Cotto will have the full support of the public, but in the ring it's just going to be me and him. It is a very important fight for my career and I have trained like never before. The result is going to be the same. I will knock Miguel Cotto out," Margarito said.

The build up to this fight is great. I also think it's good for boxing. Superfights and rivalries keep the sport alive. That said, the reality is that both of these fighters are probably shot. The question is who has the most left and that is unquestionably Cotto.
I don't think this is a barn burner. Those that are coming to see the 2nd coming of "The Thriller in Manila" will be disappointed. Cotto will most likely win an uneventful decision. Sure, he'll try and mix is up with Margo a few times though I don't think that'll work for him. He'll (Cotto) see that and fight a relatively conservative fight en route to a unanimous 12 round decision.
I hope I'm wrong, but I think the most exciting part of this war has already transpired. That would be the Press Conference. The "Weigh In" may be produce a few fireworks and that's where the fun will end for boxing fans.

Is it me or is the stage set for some Hollywood ending ?
Madison Square Garden - check
Evil villain who allegedly cheated in the first bout - check
Shy, innocent, humble star who wants revenge - check
A hot voluptuous wife with gigantic breasts - check
All we need now is for Manny to bring back " OH MY GAWD."

Very true, he been a Cotto nuthugger for years. If anyone saw Dan reporting after the first Cotto-Margarito fight on ESPN, he seemed very upset Cotto got beat down.hardcorebee24 wrote:Shaun wrote:This fight is getting a lot of attention on ESPN.com.
