Kiltschko/Lewis, Cotto/Maragarito II: Was the injured fighter en route to a win?

Look at all the punishment that he took from Tony in the first fight compared to the second one. I think you guys are underestimating Cotto's toughness. The tide was turning but it wasn't gonna turn enough for Margarito to win. He wasn't going to stop cotto and that's the only way he would have won.

All Tony was doing in that last round, was walking faster in bombs that Cotto was throwing. It only looked like he was coming on because he cast any bit of defense aside and just marched into punches like a neanderthal. Had it gone a bit more, Cotto would have stopped him on his own IMO.
And Lewis was terribly gassed at the time of the stoppage with Vitali. He was visibly relieved once it got stopped. He had some good moments prior, but he was literally running on fumes. I wasn't sure he would make it to 12 at all.

Vitali would have won if it wasn't for that eye.

LMFAO at the "Margarito was coming on strong and would've worn Cotto down theory".
He LOST the last fricking round, for crying out loud!! Cotto was snapping his head back with left hooks at will. He was moving and dictating the pace. He was using his own body weight to push Margarito around when he wanted to. Exactly what about the last round gives haters the impression that Margarito was "coming on"? That he (Margarito) made some stupid gestures on his way back to his corner?? WTF. The guy is so "macho" he could be getting steamrollered and STILL think he's winning the fight.
What a frigging riot!!

Vitali won twice as many rounds as Lewis while Margarito was pretty much dominated from the opening bell.

Margo was taking a beating, Cotto was doing a good job of controlling him. Lewis was completely gassed. I don't know if he could have made it twelve.
