    Did Cotto finally got his revenge?

    I say no, he exploited a weakness that was put there by someone else and the fight got stopped.
    Yes, he outboxed Margarito, which he also did the first fight.
    Yes, he is the better boxer, which meant nothing when Margarito made him quit the last time.

    He should have left his own signature on Margarito, either by damaging his left eye or knocking him out cold with a left hook to the body.

    It was pretty obvious he couldn't knock him out so I guess he did the next best thing, win more rounds and move away to escape punishment.

    I think what Cotto did was the best he could hope for.

          Of course he did.

          It doesn't matter what eye got beat up or what happened in previous fights, he went in there and gave a boxing lesson to a cheater. He beat him up, gave his eye yet another night of punishment and came out with a TKO victory...revenge served.

            he made a seriously injured eye even worse. He made the doctors fear for margaritos health. he busted margs face.

            tko 10.

            Yeah I'd say hes had his revenge. I wouldn't have minded it going 3 more rounds for even more punishment, but this will do.

            Margarito is now irrelevant in boxing.

              I honestly do not think that Cotto would have lost, even if Margarito gained momentum in the later rounds.
              I'm just too bummed that the fight got stopped due to an existing injury.

              I blame Robert Garcia for ruining this rematch, for not stopping the Pacquiao fight as a good corner would have.

                Cotto after the fight:

                'Margarito is a strong puncher. A strong fighter... But I'm the better fighter.'

                Revenge is sweet.

                  I just watched this fight again. I noticed Miguel was reallly turning it up in the 9th round.. He was manhandling Margarito, PINNING him on the ropes and firing hooks upstairs. I sincerely believe the next couple of rounds were going to be hell for Margarito who was beginning to look frustrated/confused. He wasn't answering back, or am I wrong? Robert Garcia said it was their best round at the end but to me it looked like the beginning of the end for Margarito. Cotto stopped dancing around and drove Margarito back! Was he turning the tide in a big way?

                    He got his Revenge. Spanked his a$$ the whole entire fight. Marg was never in the fight and never was gonna be. He got soundly beaten period. Say what u want about the eye but if Cotto didn't hit it, then His Eye would have been fine. Cotto said he was gonna Target, bust margs eye up and he did. You know u have kicked someone's a$$ when U tell them exactly what you are going to do to them and then do it.
