"I Don't Care Who Wins"
"Margarito has never really fought a big name until now. I've always been a fan of Margarito and I'm predicting a knockout win from Margarito this weekend. I just don't think Cotto is powerful enough to knock Margarito out and he'll have to use his skills, he'll frustrate Margarito but Margarito will get to him in the end. I'm going for 10th round TKO. That's my heart. Now my head is saying, Margarito has never fought anyone on the level of Cotto and it might show. We could see a competitive fight but with Cotto clearly winning the rounds for a decision win. It's a hard fight to call but whatever the result it's gonna be an enjoyable fight. I don't care who wins."
