Finally watched Cotto vs Marg 2...

On round 9 Margarito was not effective, incacurate, and Cotto was landing some crazy combos and some solid bombs as well as manhandling Margarito. End of story, it was in no way Margarito's best round and he was going to continue to be hit at will by Cotto.

I wonder why people think this. I watched round 9 couple times, cotto still maintained control and landed shots. At this point i think he felt comfortable to sit nd trade more. Agree. Time to close this chapter and move forward.

Margarito was slowly getting to Cotto shame his eye was farked up.

Cotto was boxing a lot more and staying off the ropes to avoid letting Margarito go off on him. If he would of fought like the first time, he would of gotten beat. He fought really smart, though not really crowd pleasing outside of his fans, PRs and boxing purists. Cotto was drilling Margarito with hard combinations, sticking and moving from a walking punching bag, how was he not crowd pleasing? It was only a matter of time before Tony got seriously injured. Cotto's power lies in thudding, accumulative blows. People can brush off his punches all they want but the end result speaks for itself. When I watch this fight all I can think of is the Maussa fight, a tall, slow lanky guy who tries to walk Cotto down and take his best punch. If only the dude threw with the frequency of Margarito, although the scenario still plays out similarly. Busted up and outclassed by a higher IQ fighter. Cut stoppage.

Staying off the ropes was key.

everyone thought the eye wasn't going to be an issue and Miguel was going to get chewed up by Margarito, that the fight would be stopped earlier this time because Cotto was "washed up" lol.. way to call it Marg fans

You can't compare the outcome to the second fight to the first fight and say Cotto didn't get redemption cuz he didn't ko Tony and Margarito made him quit the first go around because Tony cheated in the first fight. IMO. What we saw saturday is what was on its way to happening 3yrs ago until Margaritos wraps got hard and he started bashing Cotto witn bricks. good point.. what happened dec 3 its what was going to happened if margarito didnt have his plaster of paris lol.. but the truth always comes out one way or another... Margarito is a disgrace to boxing and Mexicans..

boxer yes, fighter fukk no yea boxer.. but thats the sport right??? boxing its all about hitting and not getting hit.. everyone hates mayweather cuz thats what he does best.. his a real boxer not a fighter and thats why his #1 lol.. so im glad Cotto its doing the smart thing in the ring cuz he owned Margarito for 9 straight round lol

people somehow think that although Cotto was connecting 51% of his power punches....it was going to get better for Margarito with one eye shut. I know it's funny how these Margarita lovers think he would have come back and beat Cotto. Margarita had no loaded gloves to break Cotto down like in the first fight, and Margarita doesn't have KO power to KO Cotto either. He couldn't even KO Cotto with loaded gloves. Margarita is pathetic.

They are half the PPV buyers That's debatable since I don't imagine the trolls here spending $60 on a PPV. Still, I don't see how that justifies the nonsense and ignorance that floods many of these threads. Things get sickening at times.

the eye was a big caution before the fight, i called it before the fight that it would stop by a stoppage to the eye.

What a bullsh*t stoppage. Cotto was fighting well but that was no redemption margarito was never hurt and was getting better. I'll be honest obviously margarito would have won, but i dont know what Cotto was happy about it the way it ended. BS stoppage how can Cotto fans be happy i meanobviosul cotto

I don't remember gundam seed but I remember gundam wing my two favorite was death sith and the one with the dragon heads for hands

I love gundamn wing !! Seed baby!! Strike Freedom & Infinate Justace!!:headbang::headbang:

No disrespect but I find your post rather ironic, considering that you have a picture of 1 of the few punches Pacman landed on Marquez in a fight where Pacman was supposed to ko a lightweight fighter but only managed to escape with a W in a fight 80% of the boxing public felt he lost, just saying. Talk about epic fail at redemption aye? I love gundamn wing !!

Yeah I think what the TS was meaning was that it was in no way "REDEMPTION" of any kind for Cotto. I mean, Cotto won and probably would have won if it went 12 rounds but end of the day, Margarito was still walking through his punches and probably still doesn't respect him as a fighter. This is very similar to Cotto's win over the one legged jewish fellow, he beat a fighter who's own body was working against him.

Not a bull**** stoppage, but an unfortunate one. However, something tells me though that if it wasn't Margarito they would have allowed it to go on another 1 or 2 rounds.

Come on you know it was a weak stoppage, you're right Cotto was exhausted all that pressure was getting to him. And the fact that Margarito seemed happy to be in there banging it up was ****ing with his head. I think there would have been a little more closure if it would have kept going. Cotto's strategy of holding and trying to smother the punches helped out a lot this time around, but It looked like he was finally breaking down a little bit towards the end of the fight. It was not a weak stoppage.. Margarito did absolutely nothing for 9 rounds so what else he has to proove??? that he can get fuc*** up for 12 rounds in the ring and manage to stay on his feet???? lets be serious... Cotto gave him the boxing lesson of the year!!!!!!!!!!!

how do u give a wink to ur corner to let them know ur getting ur assss lit retard... Cotto did not look weak after the 9th cuz there was no 10th for ur info... Cotto looked a lil exhauseted but if the fight would had gone to distance Cotto would had won anyways.. Margaritio did NOT have a chance bro.. live with it.. Cotto is the better boxer fighter etc... Margarito is done... boxer yes, fighter fukk no

This is very similar to Cotto's win over the one legged jewish fellow, he beat a fighter who's own body was working against him. I can respect ur post but to be honest We (Ricans) got redemption that night along with Cotto and by the way WE wanted the fight to keep going. Because it was just going to get worst for Margacheato. I'm one Rican that feels satisfaction but also believes the fight should have kept going but to think like some idiots in here that Marg was going to get Cotto in the Last 3 rds is absurd I would have love for the ref to stp the fight because that was exactly what was going to happen.
