First let me say that I was rooting for Cotto. I wanted Margarito to be punished because I don't like cheaters. The sport of boxing is dangerous enough without cement wraps and PEDS.
Cotto boxed very good last night. To bad it only lasted for four rounds. In the fifth round Cotto started flat out running from corner to corner. The pressure from Margarito was pushing the life right out of Cotto. Between Round Six & Seven Cotto was hurt twice by body shots from Margarito's right hook to the body. Cotto had that same look of defeat from that instant on through the rest of the fight. In the last round of the fight Cotto was in full retreat and Margarito was beating him with one eye. Cotto was one round from taking a knee. Hats off to Robert Garcia and Team Cotto for TARGETING THAT DAMAGE EYE. If not for that eye Cotto would have recieved a career ending TKO. Even after the fight Cotto had the look of a beaten man! His face was swollen and riddled with bruises. His body was bright red from the hellaious body shots landed by Margarita.

I watched the fight twice last night. Cotto fought a lot smarter than in the first fight, but he was fading!!!! Watch the 9th round. He was holding that whole round. Margarito was finally landing punches in bunches. Look at Cotto's expression at the end of that round. He knew he was in for 9 more minutes of HELL!!! Look at Margarito at the end of round 9. He motions to his corner that Cotto is done. Like I said Cotto fought smarter last night, but he was starting to fade.
100% Agreed!
Like I said before. The fight looked the same to me. Cotto backing up and loosing will as it got deeper. Magarito was starting to catch him in the later rounds.
Mike Manny Said " Magarito has no respect for Cotto's power" he just walks through it. Except for the eye MAG's face was fine. But that eye was closed after 3 jabs and the outcome could not be the same because mag could not see and he was getting jacked up!
Happy for cotto though.
One point here that hasn't been mentioned yet, in the first fight cotto still needed to win rounds in the 2nd half of the fight, which made things way more difficult for him. it was much tighter on the scorecards, in this fight margarito needed the tko, and I agree with the people that say Cotto's energy levels were not as depleted as in the first fight, he also didn't take anywhere near that level of punishment up to the 9th round compared to the first fight. Margarito didn't have the same energy levels that he had at that point in the first fight.
This makes a tko highly unlikely from my point of view.
your a F**** retard!!!!!!! you defenately dont know boxing.. shut up seriously... Cotto owned Margarito.. and thats it.. Cotto is a way better boxer overall lol
Boxing is just not about skill, its also about will stupid!!! Say what you want about Margarito, but took every shot Cotto gave him and kept coming. He took every shot Pacquiao had and kept coming. In fact, he hurt Pac-man in that fight and his gloves weren't "loaded". The guy hits hard and puts on tremendous pressure and that's why Cotto was holding the whole 9th round. What would have happened in the last 3 rounds. NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW!! By the way what makes you a boxing expert. Where can I see your fights on the internet mother****er!! You just a dude like me behind a computer screen. I saw what I saw and decided to give my opinion. If you don't like it you can suck my dick!!!
Just watch the 9th round dummy. Tell me he's not holding the whole time. Tell me he doesn't have a look of concern on his face. Watch the 9th round ***** and tell me I don't know **** about boxing.
denial LMAO.. Cotto played with Margarito hahaha if it would have went 12 Cotto would had won anyways lol retard u dont know boxing stupid
Margarito was a punching bag last night thats all :nonono:

Cotto wasn't just beating him up the first four rounds he was busting him up all night long Marg won one round maybe and Cotto did not look tired or hurt like he did in their first fight. I knew when this fight started like the last that Cotto was going to win no way was he going to make the exact same mistake twice.
I think Marg was on the verge of being stopped..I mean cmon cotto pummeled him for 9 rounds..What can you really expect ..oh lets give him one more round? why? The dr was protecting marg by stopping the fight..all these people saying cotto was gonna get ko'd /> Did you watch the fight we watched? If anyone got Ko'd it was probably gonna be marg in the 10th if it went on..

What are you basing that statement on? Cotto's history against Margarito shows something diffrent. It showed that he can not keep that pace for 11 rounds, or did you forget? He ran out of gas then and his a$$ was running out of gas last night. Its impossiable for Cotto to run and throw punches as hard as he could while being pressured by Margarito for 12 rounds. He is not that kind of fighter. It showed in the first fight aswell as the rematch. Also round 9 should have went to Margarito, because he controlled the fight in that round. He had cotto trapped on the ropes and in full retreat mode when ever he could slide out.
LMAO!
Are you a physic or something?
How do you know this? Cotto in the 9th round had Margarito on the ropes throwing combinations. what? u saw some body shot and you thought Cotto was done? GTFO with that bull****. Cotto was in control the whole way, there was no momentum shifting. although visible starting to tire he was still in command.

Pass the weed, homie. You got that kush.
Margarito got his ass handed to him. He didn't win one round (convincingly) and your saying that he was winning the fight?? Dude, u must have watched a different fight. Cotto won the fight easy, using Margarito as a punching bag.
