This fight already happened. Margarito ****d him.

Cotto doesn't clinch, and thats a serious issue especially going against someone like Margarito.

[Swoll]

Cotto imo.

[S H A R K B O Y]

Cotto's punches had no effect on Margarito. The beat down was imminent.

I honestly believe Marg used plaster for the majority of his most recent fights because I don't think he was pulling names out of a hat to decide who he was gonna plasterize.

That being said, what really shined through out the fight was Marg's chin and relentlessness that might have broken down Cotto in the final rounds. Regardless though, Cotto was beating Marg's ass for 7 rounds and it wasn't even close until the 8th.

So that's why Cotto got his nose broken and was still getting worn down by body punches. That fight is like almost a mirror image of Angulo-Julio. Margarito is the more skilled fighter. You don't hit your opponent four times in a row on the chin with uppercuts and have a skill deficit against him. Check the overall power punch stats. Cotto got smoked in that dept.

Margs style hurts Cotto every time in my opinion.

Further evidence of plaster IMO. Marg wasn't landing anything clean until the last round and somehow managed to break Cotto's nose?

Marg is not a power puncher, he's a volume puncher that breaks you down with relentless pressure.
Breaking Cotto's nose early sends me a big red flag.

Everything about that fight is suspect except Cotto's crisp clean punches and Marg's iron chin. Like I said, Marg's relentless pressure could've broken Cotto down without the plaster, but then again if Cotto wouldn't have taken such heavy damage from the plaster he might've had the stamina to go the entire 12 rounds the way he fought the first 7.
