**Reasons for Cotto loss...**

[LatinoGloves]

These are reason why Cotto lost last night, not excuses, but facts. He is still my favorite fighter but I have to hand it to Margarito, he kept the pressure on him and didnt give up, which is exactly what he's known to do. But in the first half of the fight, Cotto was obviously up on the scorecards and it seemed as if he could keep it up the pace all night. He was jabbing, bobbing and weaving, and countering with precision that I havent seen in years! I was so impressed by his boxing skills, and I dont think anybody else can say otherwise. But why didnt he go to the body? That was suppose to be his key to victory was going to the body because everybody knows Margarito has a good chin, so Cotto was suppose to test his ribs. I can barely recall him throwing any hooks to the body! And to add to that towards the ending rounds he stopped JABBING! I was so screaming at the tv telling him to Jab and he just wouldnt anymore! he was gassed and didnt know what to do, because he's never been in that kind of predictment. He was pretty well conditioned, but not conditioned enough to keep up the pace he was dealing with. Which is why im confused, why did he run out of gas? He was more tired than beaten, so he took a knee and his corner through in the towel. Technically, Yes it is considered a Knockout, but he didnt get counted out, or the ref didnt stop the fight. I would love a rematch, and definitely think that now that Cotto has a taste of what Margarito can bring, he'll definitely train harder.

Before the fight Max was in the dressing rooms talking with Cotto and he asked him if their was any extra preparation that he did for this fight. and cotto's answer was no, he trained for this fight like he did any other fight. I dont think he was taking the fight as seriously as everybody else.

So in conclusion...if Cotto's jab wouldnt of disappeared, and his conditioning was a little better, he would of had this fight in the bag

Oh please, cry me a ****ing river, take your loss like a man, even Cotto acknowledged Tony was the better man that night, you ****ing crybaby, suck on this papito

[T-97]

Yes, there is a damn good reason.

Tony was better that night. He fought the better fight. He won, fair and square.

who the **** is crying? did u not see the part of sayin those are reasons why he lost, and not excuses. did u even read it, illiterate mother ****er

[The Texican]

He just gassed out from dodging pressure and absorbing body shots all night. I was impressed with his boxing early on. So much so that I thought for a while that he might get a UD.

[williamhvx1]

cotto got tired because good body Punch's from margarito.. he did out box the **** out of margarito on the first 6 rounds ..facts are facts...

[-Hyperion-]

the reason was...antonio margarito...

[MWMerlino]

Margarito is the ultimate mexican boxer thats all there is to it. No defense, very little boxing technique just a godlike chin, the ability to throw 100+ punches a round for 12 rounds and not gas what more could Cotto do? Cotto was beating Margs ass the first 5 rounds, his connect percentage after the fight was 40% he just couldn't hurt Margarito and round 7 it really turned South for Cotto when his nose broke...

[Nacho_Analstain]

You can accept the loss and discuss the reasons too, Its not crying.

Cotto did things wrong that if he hadn't the fight may have had a different outcome, But thats Cottos fault for doing those things ... Nobody elses.

[poeticlsykuac]

He lost because he couldn't take the beating he was used to giving out. He got his ass kicked because Margarito never stopped coming or hitting him. Margarito's early body attack started the break down that became incredibly obvious by the sixth round. Cotto was scared and beat, his faced was ****ed up because he took a beating and for no other reason. This stamina bs is ridiculous, he was in shape, he just couldn't take what he could dish out plain and simple.
