PrintHere's the full pay-per-view preview show that will air tomorrow night before the Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito event goes live from Madison Square Garden.
Cotto (36-2, 29 KO) and Margarito (38-7, 27 KO) have surprised me by drawing as much interest as they have for this fight. Honestly, if you look at it just a hair cynically as a boxing fan, this is a fight between a couple of faded guys, and one that you can very easily argue shouldn't be happening at all.

But people buy Nickelback albums, and they go see Adam Sandler movies, and they watch Jersey Shore, and apparently this fight has enough legit bad blood and intrigue to bring the drama that hooks in the casual fans. I'm not complaining really; I'm fine with it, and especially happy that Top Rank has, to give them their credit, put together a terrific overall show that hopefully people actually watch if they order the pay-per-view, instead of just waiting until midnight to turn the sound on.

(Seriously, people do this. I've seen it. They order a pay-per-view and don't watch the undercard. Maybe that's why they always feel all "ripped off," because they paid $60 for one fight instead of four. Anyway, if you're one of those people, watch this entire show, ya dummy.)

The sound stays on at my fight parties but
If they even bother to glance or pay attention to the undercard at all my casual fan friends straight up ask “so which one is the one that’s supposed to dominate and crush the other?” They expect undercards to be showcase squash matches and assume they won’t be competitive. Very excited for the possibility of a great card from top to bottom!

This quote says to me that this is exactly why we SHOULD watch this fight. Many times, fighters at this stage of their careers put on performances that go down in the history books!! I can’t wait.
"That was very funny about the old man basketball skills. One is lucky to escape injury when playing against those crafty, crusty sumbitches. And it’s just demoralizing when they demonstrate yet again how to use the backboard from range." - Charlie Custer
I expect a good fight. Two guys on similar levels can be a good fight, no matter what stage they’re at. One of my favorite heavyweight fights of the year (not that it’s saying a ton) was Tua vs Barrett II, and they’re both shot.
