Both Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito have arrived in New York for there much-anticipated World Championship rematch Saturday, December 3, at Madison Square Garden.
Margarito (38-7, 27 KOs) and Cotto (36-2, 29 KOs) first met in 2008 in what turned out to be a tremendous action fight. Margarito came on strong in the later rounds and stopped Cotto in the 11th round of a bloody battle, taking his welterweight belt at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

I’m still undecided on this one, Margarito’s eye is damaged he’s been cleared to fight but it’s still damaged enough to become a problem in this fight. With Cotto he’s simply looked uninterested in fighting lately. My gut is telling me Margarito’s eye doesn’t hold up and the fight is stopped in the later rounds of an exciting fight. I’m just hoping it doesn’t go down something similar to the Marquez/Vasquez IV where you can clearly see the wear and tear on his eye before he even enters the ring. All I want to see, is a great fight and am really looking forward to the undercard as well.
Your right. Cotto is going to aim for the eye. something I notice is that Margarito wears his dark sun glasses everywhere. yesterday he was doing a media work out and he was hitting the speed bag and he won’t take his glasses off.
