**Reasons for Cotto loss...**

Cotto's way of fighting Margarito DISGUSTED me. It was like they never watched a tape of Margarito in there whole 3 months of peperation. Why was Cotto laying on the ropes the whole fight? That's the only place he could get hurt. Why was he leaning forward the whole fight? They know Margo's best punch is a left uppercut The whole "Miguel-Evangelista" feud must have been deeper than we thought. It's like they never sat down and strategized at all. So I blame the Cotto camp for his loss to Margarito.

And Cotto getting in and out was ok for the 1st 5 rounds but his getting in, is what got him hurt. Getting cornered got him hurt. he get in and out and counterpunched beautifully, i was so impressed, but his stamina was lacking

The reason he lost was because he is not used to being pressured the way he was... usually when he is hitting an opponent the way he was hitting Tony last night they fold, but since Tony has a fucking iron chin he was able to keep coming. I dont think Cotto knew how to react to that. Another reason is he got beat up... lol

Simply, Margarito done enough on the night to win. With Cotto he took his usual rounds off and got punished for it this time, this fight was a fight of two halves, Cotto for half the fight was outstanding then Margarito and Margarito simply done more on the night.

Everytime Margarito and Cotto wen't toe to toe Cotto got hurt. That should answer your question "Why didn't he go to the body?" you dont have to necessarily go toe to toe with somebody to go to the body. Their is such things as get in, get out.

Quite honestly, he'll never be the same, he should retire soon. He's taken punishment in almost all of his fights. He can't take another one, Margarito was the last straw. This also goes For Margarito,nobody is superman, you can only put the body through so much.

.....IMO Cotto should have come forward more in the later part of the fight. Backing up and allowing Marg to corner him and chase him was a bad idea at that point. Granted he delivered some nice counters but he needed to take the steam out of Marg's offense. The few times he came forward he backed Margarito up for a short period of time and kind of threw him off IMO. Sometimes the best defense is a good offense. Margarito fights much better coming forward and when fighters try and cover he just bashes away. I would force him backwards if at all possible and keep throwing punches in bunches. yeah your right, theirs only 2 things you can do against people like margarito, and thats outbox em, (stick and move) or try and go toe to toe with them and make them back up! Cotto tried the first one, now i think its time for him to try the second

Miguel Cotto Con's Cotto has been on cloud 9 before he was even a champion, Now that Cotto is now in the spotlight and boxing is looking towards him to replace Floyd. He has left himself no room to grow as a fighter... No More Unproven Contenders Like Gomez, No More Past their Prime Old Fighters Mosely in which He barely Wins.. No More fighting non active fighters like Judah He now has to fight Prime,Active, Young , P4P, Highly ranked Fighters.... There is no more grace time.....The Time is Now.... And His First Test is Margarito.... Remember Cotto has never had to beat a Champion For his Title...He has always fought fellow contenders for vacant titles.... I have been seeing this coming though, but the commentators on HBO are just commenting on the good things they see. Instead of the little things he does wrong that champions will see and will counter, and will not miss. He still gets hit a lot, and wastes a lot of punches. Sometimes he punches from too far out and leaves gaps where he can be countered or beaten to the punch. Zab Judah Show you how to counter him.... Shane Mosley show you how to pressure him Demarcus Corely Show you how to accurately hit him... and Margarito will Probably show how can he handle being hurt by somebody who can finish the job And all those fighters all had defaults in their game....Either they were too old, primes their prime, not active before fighting him, or basic contenders..... Margarito is none of the above. Margarito is not past his prime, he is active before fighting cotto, and he is not a contender. Margarito is a fighter, Fighters like Cotto and Williams get credit for. Steward,Merchant and Lampley make and made Cotto out to be some phenom, because he's KO'd a bunch of lightweights, contenders,and Past their prime fighters when they know he's starving to make the weight. I am not saying Cotto doesn't have a chance against Prime Young P4P Fighters but he still might be too green to face the guy that His Fans and Arum are expecting Cotto to now fight. He still has very good skills, power, and a lot of heart, that will keep in the fights. Unfortunately, he still gets hit a lot, and wastes a lot of punches. ...

riiight.... reasons why Hatton lost, because he couldnt block mayweathers punches Hopkins lost, cause he didnt tie his shoes Quintana lost, because he forgot to block when he was hurt shut the fuck up and take the loss like a man dude im not bitchin about the loss or anything, im simply stating facts that Cotto did wrong which brought on the loss! stop being so full of yourself and on Margaritos dick now

There are such things as reasons, The guy said nothing wrong ...

You can accept the loss and discuss the reasons too, Its not crying. Cotto did things wrong that if he hadn't the fight may have had a different outcome, But thats Cottos fault for doing those things ... Nobody elses. thanks...shalafi's a ***

He lost because he couldn't take the beating he was used to giving out. He got his ass kicked because Margarito never stopped coming or hitting him. Margarito's early body attack started the break down that became incredibly obvious by the sixth round. Cotto was scared and beat, his faced was fucked up because he took a beating and for no other reason. This stamina bs is ridiculous, he was in shape, he just couldn't take what he could dish out plain and simple.

Margarito is the ultimate mexican boxer thats all there is to it. No defense, very little boxing technique just a godlike chin, the ability to throw 100+ punches a round for 12 rounds and not gas what more could Cotto do? Cotto was beating Margs ass the first 5 rounds, his connect percentage after the fight was 40% he just couldn't hurt Margarito and round 7 it really turned South for Cotto when his nose broke...

the reason was...antonio margarito...

cotto got tired because good body Punch's from margarito.. he did out box the fuck out of margarito on the first 6 rounds ..facts are facts...

He just gassed out from dodging pressure and absorbing body shots all night. I was impressed with his boxing early on. So much so that I thought for a while that he might get a UD.

Oh please, cry me a fucking river, take your loss like a man, even Cotto acknowledged Tony was the better man that night, you fucking crybaby, suck on this papito :bottle: who the fuck is crying? did u not see the part of sayin those are reasons why he lost, and not excuses. did u even read it, illiterate mother fucker

Yes, there is a damn good reason. Tony was better that night. He fought the better fight. He won, fair and square.
