Comments Thread For: Cotto Batters Margarito's Eye, Gets Revenge in Nine

[Baracka Flocka]

Two Things.

1) Margarito's Chin is beast. Man really has no quit in him.

2) Don't give credit to Manny. Bone actually heals harder after its broken. The same thing would have happened to Margarito's eye with or without the help of Pacquiao the way Miguel was targeting it.

All props to Miguel, he was pushed to the limit again he barely would have made it, but he clearly won. Margarito's is just more durable plain and simple. Miguel played it much smarter this time around, Clinching and holding. Had he did that the first fight he probably may have won a bit more convincingly.

I had Cotto clearly winning the fight, with Margarito winning maybe 1 or 2 rounds. But aside from the eye, I can't believe even after the two beatings by Mosley and Pacquiao, that Cotto still can't really destroy this version of Margarito.

I really thought Cotto was gonna demolish Margarito and actually stop him[himself], similar to how Mosley did it. Or beat him up taking little damage like Pacquiao did it. But no, Margarito was actually in the fight at times and found a lot of success. I once again overrate Cotto like I predicted he would stop the shot Mayorga in 6 rounds or less. Cotto is just an okay fighter like I have said before.

Go on and take Chavez Jr's 0 and retire.

If he's going to stick around to fight more fighters at level of Foreman, Mayorga, and Margarito, just retire after Chavez Jr. No way he fights Martinez or any elite fighter.

lol at these fake ass mexi****s. Real talk if you were a real mexican you would be proud of your country man. Margarito may have cheated in the first fight or not but the truth is that he brought his heart into the fight and lost going out on his sheild. Margarito isn't a world beater but dude made it to the mainstage and brought the heat. Props to Margs and props to Cotto for doing what he needed to do to advance his career. Now theres only one loss on his record as far as I'm concerned.

Now that cotto has avenged one loss can he do it again to another fighter that has been speculated as a cheater? Paq are you willing to take the test??

Show me where I said he didn't. Tonight doesn't prove a thing about the first fight as Cotto fought completely different. Or do I have to point that out to you step by step?

He fought differently but nevertheless it was obvious that he didn't feel Margarito's punches when they landed the way he did in the first fight. The difference in power from Margarito's punches compared with the first fight was very obvious.

Wonder where cotto and margarito go from here?I dont think tony will retire
and im sure cotto wants another big fight.I wonder if cotto will resign
with toprank.

[eazy_duzzit10]

Well how is gonna land on sometjing that just runs and holds??? If jotto was a real man he would just stand trade but no he had to run like a little jottoo

This is BOXING not a pub brawl you idiot. You don't just stand there and trade, that's how you get KTFO. Cotto never let Margarito get set and comfortable in one spot with his movement. The objective to to hit and not be hit

No sir Cotto did not stop Margarito the Dr stopped Margarito in Margaritos best round where suddenly it was looking like maybe there is a repeat coming once it seemed like miguel was gassed the Drs stopped the fight bull**** stoppaged seriously straight up this was about to be Tonys fight and the second that happend the Drs stopped the fight Miguel doesnt even look as if he believe he won this fight thats how pre mature it was I am ashamed that I have puerto rican blood in my body thats a ****ing fact

" this was about to be Tonys fight and the second that happend the Drs stopped the fight " ur lame ass attempt to justify the ass whoopin is very sad...margarito never had a chance and the fight NEVER ONCE showed he would be takin control. he woulda just got beat da **** up more then he was. Stop cryin already shqt take the loss and dats it. he got out classed and out boxed by the better man fair and square

Margarito-Delvin Rodriguez sounds good.

Cotto vs the winner of Berto-Ortiz II.

Ortiz-Cotto would be epic.

[machotime]

Cotto dominated Margarito.... Margarito did not clearly win one round. Cotto gave Margarito a boxing lesson, battered him.

Truth is that Margarito was shaken several times in the fight, all with left hooks. Margarito had no chance. I dont care if the fight w as 20 rounds, the fight had no change in tempo. Cotto dominated the fight, owned that cheater!
