    Major respect to Margarito

    A heart will take you long ways, I didn't think much of him because of his slow, wide punches but his will and determination just make him an awful tought fighter to get in the ring with.

    He doesn't have the best skills but if you don't execute your plan to perfection he'll break you down. In the earlier rounds when Cotto didn't invest in his body attack and Marg did so I knew it was going to come back to hunt Cotto. Cotto was banking on taking some rounds off but that startegy doesn't work against a relentless fighter like Margarito, it almost unhuman to have that kind of persitence on offense especially when he was taking so much punishment from Cotto.

    Cotto was just gased out, he couldn't even lift his arms to block punches. Props to both fighters on a great fight. I was wrong Margarito's skill set is not that good but he still can beat the best with heart and will.

    I'm thinking the same thing. I knew he was tough, but not that tough.

      ****, me too.

      I always knew Marg was relentess BUT DAMN, this mother****er does not play.

      I was pulling for Marg the whole time but I honestly didnt think Cotto would end up looking and going out like that. Poor guy.

        Yeah he was done, that last combination that put him down Cotto had his hands by his sides.

        Pretty sick KO, I Don't know why they show the family. They did that same **** when Tito Ko'd Vargas, they showed Vargas kid crying.

          Cotto took two knees and quit. That's what Margarito does to you.

          He beats you both physically and mentally.
