Why a Margarito - Cotto rematch?

[RisAri0]

Cotto can learn from his loss to Antonio, he'd already know what he's up against and how to adjust. He would train for those adjustments. He's still a smart fighter. Miguel just need a good break and relax until he's 110% healed then get back in the gym and hopefully fire his uncle!

can we rationalise a lil?

the first 6 rounds and last 4 are almost like 2 different fights.

Cotto didn't DOMINATE the first 6, as Marg was doing his work to the body and closing the distance

but after 6 Cotto was ahead on the scorecards

then the 7th round comes along, and Marg closes the gap by badly hurting Cotto w uppercuts and takes the round.

if you had Cotto taking 4 of the first 6, well after that 7th round it's already 4-3 on rounds going into the 8th

and we already know how the finish turned out.

So IMO Cotto didn't dominate anything, he just won more of the earlier rounds.

I have no idea how the judges had him winning 2 of the first 6, the second round was the only round I thought he won and that was a close round, a lot of fans had Cotto up or had the fight even.

So I guess Boxing Scene is the official judges of the Nevada State Athletic Commission huh? The PROFESSIONAL judges that do this and have done this for a living are wrong.

Honestly, I don't think you could be more annoying if your tried.

Professional judges had Lewis-Holyfield 1 a draw, professional judges had Casamayor beating Santa Cruz.

The majority either had Cotto ahead or had it a draw through 10.

Keep speaking the ****in truth. He won early rounds, while Margs put in body work. and it payed off in the end. 4-2 after six? Okay, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. 7-10 goes to Margs, and that makes 6-4.

Kinda hard to maintain all of that when there is a guy you cant hurt, constantly on you and hitting you with everything he has. Thats why people are saying a rematch wouldnt change anything, Cotto wont be able to box or run for 12 because Margaritos stamina is out of this world and Cotto cant hurt Margarito, which would lead to the same result. Cotto tried to run the whole fight and couldnt win, what can he change? stand toe to toe and get knocked out sooner?

I understand what you are saying, however I think it is simply two sides to an argument. You either think Margarito punches too hard for Cotto to be able to maintain his stamina and movement or you think that Cotto could improve these aspects and nulify Margarito a little better in a rematch. I happen to believe the latter but I can understand people seeing the former as the more valid argument.

The bottom line is that it cannot be denied that the way Cotto fought was effective for the first half of the fight and if he could maintain this for the entire fight he would have won a decision.

Well keep bitching and complaing, because Cotto got exposed.

SO what does that mean? None of us should try to have an opinion on how the fight should be scored? Go **** yourself.

There is no way Margarito is winning the fight going into the 11th. The fact that he was means that the two judges in questions cannot score a fight.
