Cotto's lack of stamina cost him

[Majority_Draw]

I think the amount of time Cotto spent taking a breather on the ropes cost him most because he didn't give himself enough room to lessen the impact of Tony's barrages. On the ropes he was in no man's land when being pressured by a larger, stronger and tougher fighter like Tony. He should learn to control the pace away from the ropes without his stamina taking a big hit.

Goooood observation. I thought the same. He tried to be a Mayweather and dodge every punch, obviously he couldn't do that as he was getting more tired by the round. Also Cotto NEVER threw back to at least scare Margarito off him, Margarito just swarmed while Cotto blocked blocked and did nothing else. Big mistake.

Cotto doesn't lack stamina, he has good stamina, Margarito just has godly stamina.

combine that with a granite chin, constant pressure and power with amazing determination and i'm not surprised that Margarito won.
