Is Margaritos defense his offense?

Question

it seems that whne tony gets hit he just answeres with throwing more punches and is this bad for cotto

Answer 1

Margo defense is the offense. From the get go these two guys will fire  at will, hitting bull's will mean the end of either boxer. Both can KO, Margo can take a pounch, Cotto has been hurt before by a Colombian boxer, almost lost the fight. (Torres).

I am taking my money with margo KO before the 8.

Answer 2

His defense IS his offense. no doubt about it. Margarito is a face first, come forward fighter that throws a lot of punches and shows little in the way of defense. Cotto has shown that he can box a little but he's no Ali, so expect huge fireworks in this fight. For once this fight will be worth the PPV money spent.

I think Cotto will try to box a little early on but Margarito's relentless pressure will force him to fight, which he doesn't mind doing. The chin of Cotto is a concern when facing a strong fighter like Margarito, and it's gonna be interesting to see how he responds when Tony lands good shots on him. This fight is gonna be a classic. Don't miss it!

Answer 3

Well, Margarito doesn't possess a great natural defense at all, so yes I'd say his best defense is his offense. With Margarito throwing over 90 punches per round, he's basically not worried too much about his opponent throwing a lot of punches back, since the opponent would probably more than likely try to cover up.

The only type of fighters that Margarito may have to worry about are fearless, hard hitters who are willing to exchange with him or quick fighters who are great at countering. In a case against a counter-puncher, I think Margarito would gladly take one or two counters at a time, out of every so many punches he may throw.

Is it bad for Cotto? Well it depends on how well Cotto can weather the storm that Margarito is going to bring. It also depends on whether Cotto can get inside and/or catch Margarito in between his numerous punches.

Answer 4

yes, the guy does not have a defense, he is a punch bag, lucky for him he has an incredible chin otherwise he woukd be in big trouble
