Comments Thread For: Margarito Livid: I Only Needed Two More Rounds To Win!

[budfr]

Damn if a girl hit me so hard to the point that my eye is completely shut, I would be very embarrassed lol.

Cause his eye wasn´t properly healed, idiot. Cotto´s face and mouth were bruised badly and Cotto was beginning to wobble. Margarito is a hero Cotto got lucky and hits like a girl.

Cotto was rocking Margarito's head HARD, as much as Margo wants to deny it.
At no point in the fight was Cotto hurt. Margarito should be glad they stopped it. Nothing but bad things would have came for him those last 3 rounds.

Check what Cotto said to Mexican TV. He told Chavez that Margarito´s punches felt the same like in their first fight. For Mexicans Margarito is a hero and Cotto didn´t win, Margo´s eye messed it up. Period.

Seriously speaking, why are people acting like Margarito had anything for Cotto tonight???? Dude got spanked!!! Even with a "healthy" eye, Tony never hurt him. Margarito should be happy the fight was stopped in all reality. He was just gonna take more punishment til the final bell.

You are a Newyorican. No wonder. Cotta was going to lose and you know it. Ricans are losers and loudmouths.

Ummm... nah. Nah dude, I seriously doubt it. I would have thought Margarito could put on more pressure and walk down Cotto, but he never cut off the ring like in the first fight, and he was far from building that kind of momentum. All talk about loaded gloves aside, Cotto had a much better gameplan and made Margarito fight his fight.

Margarito should blame his corner, if anyone, for not stopping the Pacquiao fight earlier. He should have been protected from himself, instead they let him suffer a huge amount of unnecessary punishment over the course of at least 4 rounds, when it was evident that he was out of it.

The damage he sustained in the Pacquiao beating played a major role in the stoppage yesterday.

good point.... gk coming up

What was all that pre-fight talk about his eye being stronger than ever and Garcia having the sparring partners target the eye?

BS?

lol, obviously. An eye being stronger than ever after the orbital bone is shattered? thats outrageous.

and having sparring partners purposefully aim for an injury is an incredibly ****** idea, that would never help 'strengthen' the area.


I really hope no one was surprised by the results last night. Margarito has been done for a long time now, hes fallen a long way since his prime days 5 or so years ago.

Miguel Cotto retained his WBA junior middleweight title, easily stopping challenger Antonio Margarito who was unable to continue because of a badly swollen right eye. The 31-year-old Puerto Rican champ Cotto improved to 37-2-0 with a dominating TKO victory at a sold-out Madison Square Garden on Saturday as he avenged a controversial loss to Margarito three years ago.

real talk tho all cotto did was closed A DAMAGED EYE these bob arum fighters smh

Hats off to Cotto, let's not take anything away from him he put in a superb performance, he did things I didn't think he was quite capable of. He changed up his gameplan from the first fight perfectly to neutralise Margarito. So what did he do differently, well instead of backing up in straight lines and going to the ropes where Marg could hammer him he used lateral movement so he was much harder for Margarito to find. When Margarito did close the gap and force his way inside he stopped Margarito uppercuting him by doing several things. He closed the gap further and clinched, he threw hooks from angles, he sat on his punches more to stop Margarito pushing him back and stop him. Another thing he did was use the occasional headbutt coming off the ropes to take away Margarito's rythm. Brilliant strategy, well done to him and his trainer, they put in a master class.

Cotto's camp employed a good game plan, that I think was very evident. I however, think the headbutts wasn't intentional. GK coming up

now you want to give excuses for the poor son of a *****, Margarito was a 100%... Cotto was never hurt. Margarito is a hero ??? You probably drink piss don't you.

[LeadUppercut]

That was a b1tch-slapping......

remember Eric Morales vs Maidana?? Margarito was building momentum, and just like in the first fight he was hurting Cotto big time. Too bad for his eye, but Mexicans die in the ring , unlike Puerto Ricans. Cotto never hurt Margo and was holding for dear life, a sign that he was breaking down. Cotto´s Mouth and face were pretty bruised.

Nah, Margarito got.....

What did his eye look like before the fight ?

What did his eye look like after the fight ?

Tell me what caused the difference ?

Has it ever occurred to you that Margarito did not actually have to stand there and let Cotto repeatedly punch him in the eye?
