    I gave him a 9 but i should gave him a 8 he looked good boxed great. there were times where it look like the old fight but he showed adjusments. Cotto by far land the harder shots he looked calm and relaxed. I didnt see him getting tired I think alot has to do with he didnt break his nose this time

      Whut?

      He was exact copy of the first fight, except Cotto was running all night.

      And im telling this because obviously at the last round he was outta stamina.

        Cotto won, by boxing, he did NOT beat the **** out of Tony, he did not prove Plaster was used, he made idiots believe that by using bigger gloves in this fight... and by adjusting his game plan a bit.

        However I believe Margarito had him figured out at the end of the 9th and a Puerto Rican Dr saved Cottos ass
        100% agreed! Couldn't have said it better my self.

          This^^^. It kinda frustrated me that he would be able to out-maneuver Marg and get him up against the ropes, only to not capitalize on the opportunity to beat him to the body and REALLY try to disfigure him. But hey, maybe it was the in the plan to make sure you have enough in the tank to go 12 safely, so I can understand why he didn't unload, he would just throw 2 or 3 punches and then return to the center of the ring.

          Cotto's skill-set was finally able to overcome Marg's attributes. He fought very intelligently, he out-thought Margarito. Marg thought Cotto was gonna come in and **** with him, Cotto only brawled once in the entire fight, that shows discipline. They probably thought Cotto was gonna go for the kill and gas himself out, but he didn't give into the temptation. There were points where Cotto was really impressing me with his movement and ring awareness. Marg was still able to get him on the ropes, but nowhere near as much as the 1st fight.

            Finally some people who are not blinded by love. Cotto was on the verge of being stoped again!

              That was what I was thinking... Can't figure out why he was so aggressive (4-5 combos) on the outside but on the inside he was just waiting for a counter. Plus he didn't go the the body that much other than that he looked pretty good.

              Gave him an 8-8.5 due to Margo's eye raised a ?. Plus Margarito didn't looked so good (No Defense, couldn't cut the ring, etc). Still a really good performance from Cotto

                I think he fought very well. I gave him an 8. Boxed very well, lot of clear shots to the head, took advantages of openings, and utilized the ring. I didn't like how much he was moving, but I don't think he was in any worry of being stopped. If the fight would have continued, I think Cotto would have continued his game plan and landed a decision.

                    I gave him an 8. Mosley takes the 10, Pacman takes the 9.

                      you are ****ing ******ed, they used bigger gloves for this fight and everlast gloves for this fight.

                      you using this fight as proof he used plaster exposes the fact that you were born with some brain setbacks
