    Margarito uppercuts.

    Co-sign. I said all along Cotto was in wit a guy who wasn't afraid to exchange body attacks and that would be a factor. And the shorter guy leanin into the taller guy tryin to get to his body leaves him open for the uppercut.

      Also, Margarito's chin was top notch. It looked like no matter how much Cotto landed, he couldn't really hurt Margarito that much. But respect goes out to Cotto for a great effort and to remember how close it was until that round...

        Not Surprised by Cotto KO!

        Am I the only person who is not surprised by the outcome of Cotto-Margarito. I am not a fan of either so I was looking at it from an objective viewpoint. I was picking Margarito by KO in the 10th. I knew that Cotto was well protected, overrated and had a weak chin and Margarito has just proven that.

        The question now is what will poor Bob Arum do now that his cash cow has been slaughtered? This was the man the Bobfather said scared Mayweather so much that Mayweather retired. I doubt anyone is scared of Cotto now. Will he promote Margarito with the same zeal as Cotto or will he ignore Margarito just like he did Zahir Raheem when he defeated Erik Morales and place Morales in a multi-million dollar fight against Pacquiao? My guess is he will ignore Margarito and find a way to get Cotto another title fight with Andre Berto or, gulp, Paul Williams, while Margarito is ignored like a redheaded stepchild. Too bad because Margarito deserves the same type of attention that he was giving Cotto.

            ...Floyd would not stand up to that offense either. He would wilt and he knows it. He will never ever take that fight.

                      I thought Cotto was gonna win it ill gladly eat my words...but I really think he just gassed out in the later rounds from having to back up basically the whole fight...Marg was a beast though..Kellerman was right it was like hitting a brick wall that keeps coming towards u.
