I've heard it was the make of the gloves tonight, the size of the gloves, the eye, the stoppage, etc..
nothing but excuses after excuses.
Cotto was at no point hurt in the fight.. and when you haven't won a round on some score cards and you're getting hit at will, they are going to stop it. simple as that.
cotto pitched a shut out, man up and give credit where credit is due.
Yes, I picked Tony to win assuming his eye wasn't in such a bad condition.
If I knew his eye would of swelled within 5 punches, I would of picked Cotto by TKO because I know the doctors would jump in and stop the fight, especially knowing this guy is going to fight with a broken eye.
If I knew Buster Douglas was going to be such a tough cookie against Mike Tyson, I would've been a millionaire by putting everything on Douglas.
If I knew JCC was going to stop Taylor in the closing seconds of the twelfth round, I would've called it.
If I knew Gatti-Ward both had tremendous hearts and guts, I would've predicted a fight of the decade type of brawl.
My point being, hindsight is 20/20. I admire you for picking on Margarito triumphing over Cotto, but unfortunately, the eye DID play a factor, like it or not. Whether Cotto would've looked as good is up to debate. The reality is Cotto won and looked very good while doing so. Cotto deserves all the credit last night.

All of Margarito's fans talked so much nonsense pre-fight, how Marg was going to kill Cotto, now, they have more excuses than a prostitute. According to Marg, he had the best camp ever, and according to his sparing partners, Marg was ready to destroy Cotto. The truth of the matter is, that Marg without plaster, is a punching bag, Marg was a human piñata last night, and he better thank that dr. That stopped that fight before he was humiliated further. Stop embarrassing yourself, Marg embarrassed himself by saying Cotto hits like a girl, but his face shows a different story. :bottle:

Yes he did..and marg fans know that..I don't get where they get off saying Mary was gonna take him..I think if the fight went on cotto ko's him..yes my autocorrect said Mary not marg and I'm gonna leave it cause marg cried more like a Mary not a warrior..i wish the fight would have continued so that marg could have been stopped
They keep making execuses on the eye. Guess what, he had two eyes to begin the fight. It was up to marg to keep it that way. He knew what would happen if they eye was messed up. Cotto even said he was goin for the eye. For all marg fans, if he still couldnt protect his eye. Thats his bad and impressive on cottos part.
Cotto is a better fighter. End of story. If Cotto would have brought that gameplan to the first fight he would have won that fight.
It's obvious he was SO conscious of being on the ropes. In the first fight he thought he could just fight Margarito off the ropes and he got overwhelmed. He was ill prepared to fight a pressure fighter of Margarito's caliber.
I was there and Margarito was NOT stopping Cotto later in that fight. In the first fight even when people thought Cotto was dominating Margarito was doing REALLY good work rounds 2-6.
In this fight that work was not there. He did not get the early work in that would have broke Miguel later. It would have been 3 more rounds of the same thing.
You people just can't see it for what it is, it's sad.
.....1 more round and Cotto would've sustained the beating of a life time.
The doctors truly saved cotto

Neither was Margarito, what's your point?
WTF??? Cotto was ready to blind Tony for life, dude...tony won 1 pity round that could have gone either way, and Cotto had control of the entir fight. I can't believe all the excuses you guys have. Poor sports. Your guy lost fair and square...Tony wanted to fight with a bad eye, he got punished for it.
What was Cotto supposed to do, stand in front of tony and just take a whooping? lol....good god.
Yeah, he "pitched" a shutout on a guy with one eye.
That's like me bragging about "pitching" a shutout on a guy with one arm.
Smart guy.
Before the fight started Margarito had two eyes and claimed he was better than ever. Cotto pounded that eye from the very beginning and Cotto's punches caused it to shut. It's a part of boxing so deal with it.
Its *sore losers by the way
And i couldnt give a ****,i wanted too see Cotto catch another beating,but he didnt,he did well,props too him,only Cotto fans cry if their boy loses
is that why all the margo fans are making excuses today? boo hoo he ran.. :bottle:
then they have the nerve to say margo hurt cotto to the body (i didn't see this at all in the fight) when margo was barely able to land anything downstairs do to cotto tying him up.
Hahaha why are you so upset? your boy won,dont get so sensitive
I aint upset boy, im ecstatic! Just dont understand how some of you can be a fan of a guy like that. Its a sad indictment on our society and its proof of our steady decline in morals in society in general. The fact remains for me anyway that marg should never have been allowed to fight ever again. Glad to see cotto whup him but that fact remains just that...a fact.
Yeah I'd much rather watch a scumbag proven cheat and disgrace to boxing win too. You ****in complete moron!

So first you thought Margarito was going to beat Cotto. Then after Cotto beats Margarito, you say, "Aww well, I didn't know his eye was going to swell so easily!" Margarito, Garcia and everyone said Margarito's eye is in perfect condition. How are you going to wait until AFTER the fight to discredit Cotto's performance because of that eye?? I will say that I do respect Margarito's warrior mentality. But you have to understand, that warrior mentality comes with a price. If Margarito is going into that fight willing to die...and in that fight he happens to die...you can't be like "whoa whoa whoa...I didn't know he was going to die that easily. Not a good win for Cotto."
he's had the special edition margarito plaster of paris dildo in his ass for a while. give the guy a break.
I know you hate Margarito, I can tell by your biased posts.
You don't even know what a "bum" is. Margarito doesn't fall under that category, you don't become a top welterweight for a decade for being a "bum".
Bums are people that have never done anything.
So the next time you're going to use a term like that, use it properly.
Thanks.

Youre a prime example of a tosser. Big margarito and ronaldo fan. Your judgment is screwed, get a life hahaha what a douche!
I'm not a big fan of either fighter..but in the first fight I was on margaritos side I wanted him to win..after nazeem exposed his azz I lost respect for him...this fight showed us who really is the best..it was a fair fight,the better man won..marga fans should chill the fukk out.
