Zab Judah had him hurt a few times in their fight, and I also seem to recall that DeMarcus Corley badly hurt Cotto during their fight as well. I for one think that this is a different Margarito from the Williams fight, and one who won't be puzzled by the height, length, and angles that the freakishly tall Williams gave him. Don't forget that he was coming on strong towards the end of the fight, in no way did Margarito ever get worked...he got outworked at the beginning of the fight and spotted Williams too big a lead. He's learned his lesson since then.
Body punching and activity are gonna be key in this fight, both of which are staples of each man's game. As far as I'm concerned, all physical and technical advantages even out when all is said and done. In that case, I tend to go with the hungrier man, and that's Antonio Margarito.
Make no mistake though, both of these guys are among my favorite fighters, so I'll be happy whatever happens. I just got a feeling that Margarito's due.
