Could Cotto even breath with the nose problem?

I think it was a big factor in the fight, on why he tired. You have to breathe through your nose not your mouth and it hurts your endurance, stamina - etc.

But i'm not discrediting Marg's win though. But I do think that was one of the main reasons, you saw how he stopped moving as quick as he did, but you got to account Marg's constant punching and pressure added to that too. That's why I want a rematch, I feel Cotto could win it. It just wasn't Cotto's night at all.

I feel the same way about it. You hit it right on the nose too!

The breathing issues were a factor.. Another thing that must be considered is all of the ***in vaseline that they were jamming into his nose. That crap only hindered his breathing further.

he was able to breathe fine. when he went to the corner his trainer was telling him to take deep breaths with him and cotto was doing so through his nose. He lost his stamina because margarito was pounding him with non stop pressure.

I also think cotto's face was hurting him really really bad. That was part of the problem too.

Try getting your nose busted with a hard uppercut and the bleeding doesn't stop so your cutman puts vasoline and more medicine in there to try to stop it when it doesn't. Try fighting with a guy who puts constant pressure on you and you need to breathe so you can keep tyring to move out the way and counter and last the rounds and tell me he was able to breathe fine and that it wasnt a factor.

Why dont you guys stop making excuses for Cotto. I love the guy he is a bad ass boxer but it was tonys punches that caused all that. So lets just say that Tony broke his face and not try and discredit it. With the exception of one guy that did say he didnt want to discredit him. I think Tony is cottos unicorn. He will never be able to beat him. Just like sugar shane will never beat winky. Props to Cotto for lasting that freakin long with that busted up face.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you're unable to breathe you usually don't live very long after, let alone survive through 11 rounds of a brutal war. Amazing that Cotto is still alive.

Let the excuses go please.

no he couldn;t
Thats was a huge factor
In a Rematch and with a good trainer he will whoop margo.

What about the excuses Marg fans give that Margs started slow againest Williams?

i aint giving no excuses at all.

i'm just saying I feel if it wasnt for the nose problem, he pull off a close decision.
