This fight was a f'n War!!!!

Fuck all the bullshit PR vs MEX blah blah blah.... Both these guys went toe to toe, Margarito took some nasty shots from Cotto. Cotto tried to fight fire with fire because Margarito looked to be an easy target but he was paying a price every time he stopped and went toe to toe. It could easily have been a draw going into the 11th round but Cotto just couldn't deal with the pressure any more. Margarito pretty much went forward every single round of the fight, even if he got hit with a 4 punch combo he kept going after Cotto. I'm sure the fight tonight turned many casual boxing fans into hardcores and even surprised some people who had never given boxing a chance. Both fighters are true warriors and boxing is blessed to have such great champions willing to put it all on the line.

It was a war indeed. They both earned their money last night and gave everyone who paid to watch, their money's worth and more. Cotto started off over confident by putting his right glove up in the air when he hit Margarito, but put on a brilliant performance regardless. Fighting back even when the tank was on empty and the warning light kept flashing, and the annoying beep was unbearable, indicating he needed to gas up again before the next fill up station. He was fighting on fumes and then just plain will near the end. Unbelievable performance by both. :boxing:

you know what pisses me off... that cotto barely even hitted the body, i mean his best weapon is the hook to the body why didnt he even use it!? this whole bullshit about him being a dirty fighter has made him avoid using his best offensive weapon. dammit hes a body puncher accidents happen ><

funny. i'd bet some of these guys that are calling cotto a quitter and wuss are probably the same ones who call time at the gym after taking a good shot with headgear and thick padded sparring gloves on...... Or the guys who got a stich on the way their and got the bus home....

yes it was a great fight , mr. pain. now can you just tell the people calling cotto a wuss or puss or quitter to shut the fuck up. the fighter i picked to win won but to call cotto those things after 11 brutal rounds is quite stupid...... I agree....I picked Marg to pull it out but Cotto got my respect.

I just re-watched the fight, it was amazing again. Too bad my lazy ass didn't go see it live, anybody who considers Cotto a puss or quitter should have to spar 5 rounds with Margarito mandatory.

I dont think it was toe-to-toe (Cotto kept running and Marg. tried to chase him down) but it was a great fight. It was well worth staying up for here in the U.K. Great action at 4am.
